Character Animator

 I was working on a character animator project.While trying to use the Automatic head movement based on audio feature.  The system froze and I had to Ctrl-Alt- Del to end task and restart the Application. Upon trying to open the project. I got the error posted in the screen shot.- Looks like some lock on a file, or something.  Is there a way to fix it.- I followed the path, listed in the error, to the master file in the head directory. Can some dev, or support person tell me, if there is anything i need to be able to turn off, in the file, to get it to release the lock, so that the I can gain access to the project again thanks

Other post have been locked about this!? Why is it that any person that has created a message to share here, cannot edit that message?

I have, or should had, a puppet using Parallax Behaviour, but now it's gone!?It could be me, but have I missed something?

I use a Mac and have a second monitor. Setting up Workspace and one involves the it being on the other monitor. However, as soon as you click between workspaces, it reverts back to Mac Screen? Not a major problem... just drag it back each time.

I am trying to set a cat character head with parallax. but for some reason when I am trying to set its ears head position strength parameter the ears art is moving in a diagonal direction instead of simply sideways (left to right/right to left). why is it happening or how can I fix that? What controls the axis direction of an art work?

Hello Sir i am using adobe character animator i am make robo character then i go to start rigging i am add crown but some layers not add crown its very big problem for me plz help me  Thank You...

I started working with Character Animator a few days ago and for some reason I can't preview my puppet in the Rig tab, it only becomes visible while In Record.This wasn't a problem at first but now that I want to experiment with Handles I need to be able to actually see my puppet.I might be missing something obvious here, but any help would be appreciated.Heres a YouTube video of the problem:No preview in Rig! - YouTube

Hey guys,  I have probably animated 30-40 characters in Character Animator at this point, using generally the same workflow. So not sure if this is a new issue in the updated version of the software but... All I want is a slight head movement, and slight eye movement (look around subtley) on my character. Usually this would take me 5 mins to do. But no matter how I struture my character, the head and eyes will simply not move based on camera input. I can sometimes get the body to move with the head movements (like its floating side to side) but never does the head move independently (to look natural). Here is a video of my project and what is happening. I super super curious on what I'm missing here. I'm almost convinced its a glich, because I open another older project with the same struture and it works flawlessly.  https://youtu.be/0OEELMh9WsA 

I'm getting a (application was unable to start correctly 0xc00007b) after installation. my OS is windows 10 pro N using a ryzen 3 system. 

Hi. Once I have recorded my puppet can auto blink be added or do I have to re record? I have added auto blink to my puppet, unrecorded it works but when I play the recording it is causing the left eye/pupil to warp. In rigging issues it is now saying left pupil-handle is not used in any behaviours, left blink- Eye Gaze:layer not tagged as independent. Many thanks

While using the Blank Puppet, of Dave's, there seemed to be no lag and no, Wheel of Death wirling around. However, when I'm working on a different Puppet, with a few more things, replays, trickersl etc, there is a heavy load on the Mac's Memory and CPU and I'm constantly getting the, Wheel of Death running. I ran the Activity Moinitor and for the Blank Puppet it showed just over 700MB of Memory Use, but the other puppet, shows nearly 3G of Memory being used.In my other Adobe Apps, or any Apps, I don't have this problem. It is only with CA. This is my Mac Details: Has anyone else noticed this, or could it be related to the structure of the Puppet? Any advice would be gratefully recieved!  

I notice that as I build up my takes, I quickly start to run out of space.Also, some actions are split up over different tracks. This makes it a bit of a pain when trying to move from one part to another.1. Is it possible to select and move individual tracks, so you can group all parts of a particular action, replay, or Trigger?2. Is it possible to close tracks, or groups of tracks?3. Is it possible to rename and colour tracks, or groups of tracks? Additional Ideas:1. Be able to drag, Triggers and Swap Sets from Triggers Panel, directly into Timeline which would then instantly add the full track. Then you could Right Click anywhere on that track and add, or change any Trigger.2. Instantly make connections to all relevant linked items when you click on Trigger, or Swap Set.3. Make Handles resizeable and give recolour option.     

Hi,I recently purchaced a new 16inch macbook pro specifically for Character Animator projects. Whenever I use it, with no other applications open, it completely overheats and sets the fans off which makes live streaming with audio impossible. I have approached Apple who said it was a software issue [of course]. Has anyone else had this problem and found a soloution? RegardsJol

Limb IK video by Okay Samurai  Love the new Limb IK and the explanation video above. When I add a Left Quarter however I run into bugs that look like artwork out of place issues, however, after diagnosing my rig works great without the leftquarter/swap set. Given the tip of making the head independent and add a frontal with a Face Dragger, should I not be doing the same for Left Quarter and having both in a swapset? Thanks in advance, Chris

I have one hair left... I have spend two days on this  and I am DONE trying to figure it out but I cannot go forward until I fix it...  I have used the maddy puppet to follow and at first it was working, so maybe I changed something but omg, I am beyond frustrated. Thanks !

Is there any hope of there ever being an option to share scenes and/or project files with another person? CH is the only Adobe product I've ever used where it's not possible to pass off work to someone else. I love the the learning curve but that part has been frustrating.

Thanks in advance!!

Using version character animator 3.3.1  my add triggers button has disappeared so can no longer add triggers . Trying to stretch out the window or reset it makes no difference. I am forced to lose all my workand start by opening a new project. Has this happened to anyone else?

Hi!  I am very new to CH, and I have an issue with lip-syncing and Visemes that I can't figure out--I have brought my puppet into the timeline, as well as the audio file I would like it to lip sync.  I then "Compute Lip Sync From Scene Audio," (with both the red dot next to the Audio Input and Keyboard Input) which works great.  There are a few mouth positions I would like to change manually though, so I then "Split Lip Sync Into Visemes" and now I see in my timeline next to Lip Sync>Keyboard Input (as a pulldown).  In the tutorials I have watched, it should say "Visemes" next to lip sink and then have a layer of editable Visemes.  But that isn't showing up for me.  When I pull down the Keyboard Input layer, i get all the Visemes (each on it's own layer...so it's a VERY long scroll down)...and they aren't editable.  I can change their length, but it doesn't show the sound that each viseme is making nor does it allow me to change them.  Wh

how to add hadles in behaviours in lip sync, face and and ohers i have an issue in behaviours panel  the handles shows like 000000 intead of 1 have any solution 

I've spent all day working on this puppet and if I wasn't already bald I'd be ripping my hair out over the bizarre issues I've had throughout. It's my first time working with Character Animator, so I directly based my layer hierarchy and rigging on the stock puppet "Rin" initially, but found that my puppet did not behave the same way when rigged like Rin. After several tutorials and adjustments to both the PSD and the rig, I've managed to get the body to stay anchored to the bottom of the frame, and the facial features (including the tufts of hair up top I kinda improvised on) mostly move as desired, but the head itself moves way too far no matter what I do to the head position and tilt sensitivities, and if that layer is independent, it floats away and the body doesn't lean with it, but if it's dependent, it warps the top half of the head and pulls on a single point in the torso as well. On a less important note, but no less frustrating, I tried to give the hoodie drawstrings dangle p

I'm new to Ch and accidentally closed out my project panel. How can I get it back on my screen? Thanks!

Hey folks! Has anyone had succes using layer picker to control multiple sets of layers? I am trying to have more control over my eye lid layers.  My end goal is to have a puppet with 5 head turner layer sets each with independant eye lid layers per eyes (so 10 sets of eye lid layers) all be controlled with ONE layer picker slider in the Perform panel. I want to be able to have the lids open and close and persist across any head turn. Does anyone know if that is even possible? Here is some psuedo code of my puppet layer stucture (each Lid is a folder of 7 layers):PUPPET Character HEAD Left Quarter right eye Lid left eye Lid Right Quarter right eye Lid left eye Lid Frontal right eye Lid left eye Lid Left Profile right eye Lid left eye Lid Right Profile right eye Lid left eye Lid Maybe layer picker is not the correct tool for the job... any other suggestions or i

I know someone already tried to manipulate the hand and fingers using the leap motion, with what I see he tried but it didn't work wellI tried to manipulate the hands using the trigger keys, touch screensbut it was difficult to make my puppet to move "naturally"  So I request Adobe to implement finger capture using leap motion or (another mocaps ... but leap motion is the cheapest as far as I know) in the future
