Character Animator

Hi, I've create a puppet in Illustrator and Placed a logo across the puppet's chest.  When I File, Save and go back to  Animator, the logo shows on the puppet in Rig, but not in Record.  The logo was a PNG file.  Hope you can help.M.

I have a puppet that I want to do a "squat" action. I'm not sure if I've rigged it incorrectly, but currently I've only managed to animate the legs "squatting" with the head and body staying static. How can I make the head/body move with the legs without keyframing the actual position of the character?For a bit more context, the character isn't human and so the anatomy is a bit complicated, which is easily where I could have gone wrong.

I want to use a fading appearance/disappearance of a character, but it looks like this:  instead of like this: The second picture is using a png file. Thanks!

By placing the joints on the puppet's arm, it causes an elasticity that I am unable to resolve.If anyone can help me, I will be immensely grateful.Ps: i'm brazilian and the text was done in google translator, sorry if there is an english error.

What are those weak lines in the lip sync?

I wanted to make it so that the legs bend so my character can sit down. I did it but whenever I record the recording changes it so that legs are going the wrong direction. Please help. 

I have to make 2 characters dance. In the provided artwork, they are already dancing. Before I waste the time to rig this, Is this going to work?Character stills attached.

Hi guys I am using the Robot template in Ch the one walking constantly to the right..Now I have made my own arms legs torso etc in photoshop and they are working perfectly fine..However the new arm I have created isn't staying fixed to the shoulder on the torso.Its swaying slightly left and right (sliding across) the torso.I have used the pin tool (fixed handle) where the arm meets the shoulder torso but its still sliding left and right around that area..How do I make it fixed to the body and allow it to move with the body as opposed to slipping across.Cheers.

When i open my puppet on character animator, then press open original so the puppet can open in photoshop, photoshop freezez on me now....the puppet still works good in Character Animator....why?

Today, we're releasing Character Animator 3.5 which is available for download from the Creative Cloud desktop application. This release includes the following new features:   Timeline snapping options: The Timeline menu options, Snap to Frames and Snap to Objects, let you control the snapping of tracks, takes, and markers to frame boundaries and other objects in the timeline.     Pin Feet When Standing option now defaults on: Pin Feet When Standing, the parameter that lets you pin the character's feet to the ground when not walking is now set to on by default. Use this parameter when you have a single left or right view that is sometimes walking and sometimes standing.   For details, visit the What's New page.   How do I update Character Animator? Open the Creative Cloud desktop application and click the Updates tab on the top-left. Find Character Animator in the list and click Update.     What should I do if I don't see the update in my Creative Cl

So I broke my puppet up into 3 puppets like you suggested.  Is there away to copy the triggers to the other puppets.  Thanks in advanceMalik

I want to make facial expression triggers but when I try, they overlap the neutral one. How do I get them to switch properly?

I am new to character animator. I have designed my character and pasted the mouth group from Blank into my Photoshop file.  When I go to character animator and put my character in a scene, the mouth does move some but it is not recognizing all the mouths available. I tagged them and put them in the mouth group but still nothing, It keeps saying they are not using any behaviors and all have "0" in the property panel. Plus the woohoo mouth gets really big. Help! Hope this picture works to show you my problem. This is for Ee.  Thanks!

What the heck? app is unlicensed? I have an all apps license with Adobe.

Good day! Concerning default puppet Heather:either both pairs of her arms want to show; or only the folded ones. i can't get the wand arms only to work.Thanks in advance for your advice on how to correct her rigging.

Some Ch scenes I import into Ae via Dyn Link don't have the audio.  My frame rates are identical in both Ch and Ae and my drivers & software are updated.  The strange thing is that out of say 6 Ch scenes, 1 or 2 won't import the audio.  It can take multiple reimports before the sounds appears.  Any suggestions?  

I want to roughly simulate pouring liquid. I'm thinking of using particles for this. I can run particles in snow and track mouse mode, however it doesn't work in cannon and point & shoot mode. How can i fix this?

I was working on a particle behavior on a layer - and was able to have 3 layers with the same trigger stream cannon mode in different directions - but when I added additional layers, cannon mode became unresponsive. (snow still works, however) I deleted all of my layers, created a new one with a new trigger, and cannon is still unresponsive(it just causes the image to appear, but not multiply). Has anyone experienced this, or have any ideas how I can go back and fix it?

I have created an animation in CA but when I try export it to AME or do dynamic link to AE I get nothing. In AME it looks like it is rendering but for a 55 second scene I cannot believe it would render for over 7hrs (tried it with regular and beta versions of CA and AME). I have had this issue since yesterday, and have since updated to latest versions of all components just today, still I get no joy.  Having not seen this exact problem in the forums I am thinking I might have missed a step or something but at this point honestly, I am at a loss as to what it could be.  No errors are thrown when I perform the actions (export and import of chproj file) there is just nothing showing up. I am running this on an iMac with 3.4GHZ Quat Core I7 processor with 32gb Memory.  I have also just updated again to the latest and greatest of both the regular and Beta versions just today and I still get nothing!    

Hi,I would to control 2 apps with my MIDI keyboard. One is CH and the other is a MIDI controler (for a soundboard for exemple). I have LoopBe1 installed but CH doesn't reconize it I think.I have this option in the other app :i ask the creator and he tell me that : "Select LoopBe1 as MIDIfoward device in MIDIControl. Select LoopBe1 as MIDI in in you other application". So I'm trying to find an option in CH to change the MIDI input but I can't find anything.Thank you !TD;LR : Any way to use CH and another app with the same MIDI keyboard ?

I've been following along with Okay Samurai's Character Animator tutorials, and am working on a two-pose puppet following the guide: a stationary and single-direction walk cycle. I can set up the walk cycle fine when it's the only one in the stack, but adding multiple views causes issues. I have tagged the three-quarter view with the profile tag, but I see both views simultaneously when I go to a scene. If I hide the visibility in the puppet rigging screen, that of course hides it in the preview, but looking at the sample characters (such as Okay Samurai's Eliza3View) that's not necessary. I assume there's something obvious I'm missing but following along the tutorial there's no apparent step. 

Just started using Character Animator, Whenever I rig my character or any preset character it gives me different errors which include:1. Failed to create scene2. Could not open the file 'C\Users\Simran\Documents\Adobe\Character Animator Character Animator Project 2 Ch Data\temp.noindex\WarpCache\e421b1eb-4fc8-dea9-a5c1-Ofe400000034 Error code: (Container.js:389) Error code: (engine.js:411) Error code: (engine.js:570) Error code: (bootstrap.js:3)3. Error reading past end of file.
