Character Animator

i want the body to sway slightly with the head but i dont know what to do .

Is there a way to subscribe to Character Animator only please? When I try, Adobe is wanting to push the Adobe Cloud only sub on me. Character Animator seems to be the only product that I can't choose for it to be the only item that I subscribe to? 

Hello, I've got alittle ways to go w a little "monster" character I'm working with. Right now I'm just trying to get my eyebrows to move with my actual face and right now it just seems I'm moving my head. Not sure if this is all because of the unorthodox "head" of my character or what. I've done some research but have hit a wall. I'm a bit of a noob so I'm assuming my heirarchy will have more than one error but ANY information I can get on what I'm doing wrong starting with the eyebrows would be EXTREMELY welcome.. Thank you so much..-AC

Body movements are done by triggers only if that has been rigged (means those body movement layers are created in photoshop or illustrator) in the puppet. But isn't there any puppet w/ inbuilt(default) capability to track body movement. If there, then please suggest otherwise suggest how can I Rigg the triggers of a puppet so that it can track the body movement.Thank You 🙂

Hello, I can't edit backround size and the character size please somene help me thank you, stay safe.

I have a pre-recorded performance from an actor where he recorded his voice and video of his face.  I'm using "ManyCam" to create a virtual camera that Character Animator can see and respond to as if it were a live webcam feed.  The problem is that his performance looks a bit odd as a stand-alone movement.  I'd like to keep what he did in a subtle way, but overlay my own performance on top of it.  Is there a way to mix these two together- not just fade (Blend) from one to the next?  It would be great if I could, say, use his performance at 30% and mine at 70% and just average them together.

Hi There,I am having rigging issues with the characters which often result in overly stretchy and "gooey" faces, hands and arms. The same character  from the same PSD file can work fine in its own file, but then the same character will stretch all over the place if brought in with another character, or a new project is started. Even if no "dragger" is added, a face will get a squishy and distorted just through the camera alone. I've tried so many different things such as adding sticks, opening up the rigging issues panel, expanding the mesh, making sure things are properly tagged, disarming all recording and recording one thing at a time, and I just can't seem to fix this recurring issue. Sometimes one arm will be gooey- and not the other- but they share the same exact settings. Any advice would be so appreciated. Thank you.

I have been using a video which I have camera tracked in After effects and copied face measurements and pasted into Character Animator, all is working fine until I set up different head positions and set up the head turner behaviour. Now when playing through my scene, everything still moves fine but there doesn't appear to be any head turning happening, even though it clearly happens in the video. There is also no sign of Head turner in the timeline or a way to add it. Am I missing something here, is there an extra step I have missed?

Hello,If I buy the Adobe Creative Cloud, do I find Character Animator in it ?Thanks for your answer,Q

Of course, now I have downloaded the Beta which will hopefully allow tracking to the left and right eventually but right now I am having my students create Walk Cycles with 3 Profile Puppets. They are practicing with the Eliza Puppet and folllowing Okay Samurai's tutorial. They have all rigged the puppets the same(at least from what I can tell after reviewing over 50 of them) but many (Like the puppet atached) will not swith to Left Profile and Standing with the arrow keys. The cycle starts with the Right Profile Walking Immediately.Any help with this issue would e greatly appreciated. I want them ( and me) to learn how to do this properly. Okay, so how do I upload a puppet. I get an error that ".puppet files are not supported" neither are .zip apparently. 

¿Cómo logro encontrar la atualización de Character Animator?Veo que Body Tacker sólo funciona en versiones posteriores a la 4.3 pero esa versión no la encuentro. 

Currently making a school project for youtube with vtuberisk style using adobe ch, and well, i've had a lot of issues with the eyes of this model, lots of research, learning and so on, but for the life of me i can't seem to figure this one out, i followed this simple written tutorial page, done everything as told also above and beyond of whats told, my current 2 problems are1) For whatever reason my animated blink doesen't work when im facing directly the camera, also the closed blink state gets stuck every now and then2) How do i make seperate eyelids behaviour from eachother, for example only closing one eye partially etc.? -i have attached a gif of my blink problem below.

Hi! Can someone help please. I have a few things that's not going well with my character.  the puppet won't stay behind the desk When I move the puppet the arms moves, but then the hand smears. It'll do this for the left arm. Then it'll do for the right arm. When I polace the curser on the hand to move the arm. It doesn't move right away. I have to toggle it on the arm itself and then it moves.

when i use this linden puppet in Ch the fps is going very low (only when i use this puppet)

https://edex.adobe.com/resource/BMpf7Cs4r - Adobe education shared this tutorial link via marketing email, and it mentioned Pixar in a box, hosted by Khan Academy. Wow! Might be designed for school kids, but I found some really useful tips in there for how to put together a story. Adobe has addition material at https://edex.adobe.com/khan/storytelling  I am still not sure the best storyboarding tool to use from Adobe's line up. Pixar goes through multiple iterations of increased detail. Eg scenes to shots, script, storyboard different scenes, add a voice track to the storyboards so yiu can watch like a movie, iterate and improve, replace sections with rough video mock, replace again with final renders, but the idea is you can watch the whole movie from very early on and get the feel of the story and flow, improving the quality of sections. E.g. if it was easy to create a new psd/illustrator file from inside CH to create a puppet from (just a static image), then

I recently finished creating my puppet on adobe Ch but I have another problem where I cannot import a video file. I want to use this file as a background for my puppet. I only know how to import png file. I really need some help! 

I'm trying to get better at my puppet. I've watched a few of viceos, but it seems I'm missing something.  My hands aren't moving along with my arms. My left hand was, but it was more of a smear. The right arm wasn't moving at all. 

Ciao a tutti, premetto che sono nuovo con Character Animator. Mi sono avventurato nella creazione di un personaggio ma a fine processo nella finestra "Problemi di rigging" mi appaiono i messaggi che vi allego.Il personaggio funziona correttamente, quindi vorrei capire se posso non dare importanza a tali messaggi o se invece possono nascondere problemi che ancora non ho visualizzato.Grazie a tutti per le vostre risposte.

Has anyone figured out a good way to have 2 puppets shake hands? Is there a tutorial out or a discussion already make about this?

I used the zoom on the left pupil (for example) but I don't understand how to zoom out! There is only zoom in! Please help me....I can't work.

Hi, I dont know what's going on but it just not working at all - I have setup handles at hands, elbows and shoulders, yet nothing is moving when I record or stream- I have added a limb ik behaviour to the character in the camera view, I only see red dots on my face, but no limbs are detectedwhat am I missing ? thanks

Hello! Recently I made eyelashes which are a part of pupil range. So when the puppet blinks they still look stucked. I wanted to make a trigger, but I don't know is there a way to make not key, but face trigger. Current work looks like this:  Is there a way to make eyelashes disappear while puppet blinks? I managed to do this using the key system, but I need to make it so that the appearing or disappearing of eyelashes depends directly on the puppet's blinking.

Hi there, recently I've try to use character animator for live. I've used to NDI plugin. But the problem is after I install everything, it's still not working. I've check (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\7.0\MediaCore) and in my machine there is the (NewTek_NDI_Transmit.prm) file. I've re-install several times, but the Ndi output still wouldn't show up in charator animator settings. Hope someone help me out. HELP. Thx

Hi, for some reason when I start a freshly installed version, it creates a project that it cannot find (really? wth ?) as per the screenshot 1 the file is there at the right place2 developpers should know using spaces in paths is always a bad idea (even if windows allows it) how can I solve this ? thanks
