Character Animator

I worked for a long time to create a character and got her to wave. I saved the file to my desktop and opened it later only for the puppet to be very glitchy and not even look like a puppet anymore. I have restarted the app, my computer, and adobe creative cloud but I can not get my puppet back.

Is there an easy way to take a preset character, like Chloe, which is about 800 X 1100, and enlarge it to a character I'm making that needs to be about 3200 X 4400.Once I enlarge and save Chloe the way that it is right now, it looks like it will mess up the whole character. Does anyone have any suggestions?Thanks!

Hello All!Unfortunately my Character Animator won't launch. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled with all of the updates, whether I run it as administrator or not it always freezes either at:Initializing  (Backend)or Skybox-random-blocks.prmAny suggestions on how to fix this? I am using a Windows 10, Intel Core i7, Nvidia Geforce GTX.Hopefully someone can help.All my Best,

I created a Polar Bear character in Character Animation and now am looking for a voice. I need a text to speech program that doesn't sound so robotic and that the voice sounds kind of cartoony. I'm unable to use Google Text-to-Speech because I'm a Mac person. I was wondering if there are any website/programs out there that generates a character voice over that I can download and import to Character Animator?

Hi! How can I make the text change color in CH (like in read aloud videos)One way may be cycle layer (but I cant really control the speed)I there a way to make a mask (with red text)  in AI and drag the mask over the black text in CH?May be a simple solution Any suggestions help

I'm trying to import a 25-minute scene into Premiere, however by the time the media has finished loading in, I've run out of memory and my display driver crashes. Is there anything I can do, aside from converting the scene into a sequence of PNGs / upgrading my PC? I would really like to be able to make changes to the scene through the dynamic link. If it helps, I have 32.0 GB of installed RAM. Please let me know if I need to clarify anything.Edit: I'm also unable to export via Media Encoder because it inexplicably stops encoding after 2 hours in (elapsed time stops, no change to remaining time, no message to indicate encoding has stopped).

Hi allI've recently gone from a humble student to employee for a new business and will be getting to know Character Animator.  It's very exciting and I have already produced a couple of scenes, but there are some bugs I've had to move around and based on my searches, generally involving either an occasional freeze or a crash, but the occasional ones don't bother me so much.I am running CA from my laptop, an MSI Apache Pro, 16gb of ram with a NVIDIA gtx 1060 (8gb dedicated ram) graphics card, so I don't think I have insufficient hardware for the job, but before I can know for sure I was hoping I could ask for some help.  However I believe in order to know for sure, some of you may ask to see my preferences, but I do not have access to the full list (please see the attached image for details).  I am currently using v2.0 of CA, I also ran as administrator with no success?Just FYI, I only have a basic understanding of system specifications, though I'm guessing that will have

My arms are quite working right and I'm not sure why. I have one arm that is stretching out and one arm is slightly detached by the shoulder (toward end of video). Not quite sure how to fix. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1tKMLaTkRaq7Zq_vg-jC5rNorhtxaNttY

When I launch Character Animator, I get an error saying "Windows error The requested attribute was not found. returned from MFGetAttributeSize(mediaTypeP,Get(), MF_MT_FRAME_SIZE, &width, &height)I get the same error when I try and click the webcam button, no webcams show even though they are connected and work on other things like OBS, XSplit or Zoom. Any help would be great!

Hello,My character's arms don't swing during the walk cycle. I looked up a thread where someone else was having the same problem, but his problem was that he didn't have the neck, waist, and hips tagged.  I do, and the arms still don't swing.  See below.Also, for now reason I can figure out, my character's body is suddenly stretched out and only connects to the head at the chin.Also, also, the head doesn't move with the body.  It stays welded into place, like the arms.  Mind you, the torso and legs move as they should, but the arms and head don't move, and I have no idea why.Thank you.

So, I am very new to the illustration/animation world.... So, please bare with me.Someone started a puppet for me (in Photoshop), but wasn't able to complete it. They sent me the puppet to finish.... I am working on it, but seem to be having difficulty incorporating additional hand gestures (i.e. thumbs up, close fist, two fingers, etc.), as an additional layer.Could someone let me know what steps I need to take, to get this done?Please help.... Thanks in advance

Help please,When exporting from CH to AE the file has lost many png sequences, leaving my scene way shorter than recorded. I also have tried dynamic link with the same issue. Has anyone had this problem and solved it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello to this very young but ambitious Character Animator community    This new software is bringing new life into my creativity!!right now I am working on various characters for streaming and i had this interesting idea: i would Love to build an interactive environment for a character, with for example dynamic lighting, a rotating fan at the ceiling, various objects in a loop in the background resulting in the scene being more alive. Is this possible in Character animator? Would it also be possible to stream it on for example Twitch?thank you Guys for your ideas 

In my new puppet that I built from the ground up is showing up with 2 walk behaviours. One from the root menu (which works) and one from my character scene (which does nothing).I think this is causing my puppet to distort in the leg movements and the arm swing only swings in front of the body.The legs appear to be doing away from the scene and adjusting rigging in the leg does nothing below the knee.              This one is from my root properties                                      This one is when character is in a scene

Can anyone give me the link to download version 1.5 again? I uninstalled it but 2.0 isn't working for all my files.

Howdy, everyone! Many years ago, I made a post about missing/messed up textures when importing .obj files from Anim8or into Mixamo, and just last night, I FIGURED IT OUT!! It's a bit strange as to how it works, but bear with me.You'll need:-Your model exported as a .obj with the .mtl file that exports with it-Your texturesNote- You gotta mess around with the specularity of your textures, they can make it look like you have no textures, or that there is a slight shine that is your texture. Try 0.06 for a nice leather shine, 0.01 for a nice rough plasticy shine, 0.1 for hard shine and 1 for blasted lmaoOkay, so, step one:Zip the .obj and .mtl files into a folder. Name it your model's name.Step two:Highlight the textures, right click and press copy.Step three:Click into the zipped folder and paste your textures. (its weird, but that's how you've gotta hit this thing.)Step four:Open Mixamo, go to upload character, and drag your zipped folder into the part where it says, 'Select character f

Audio works on my external micI have a Mac Pro, 2 monitors, only 1 monitor, the LG, has a camera, the green light won't go on?  Works in Photo Booth....It has worked previously upon opening ChI can't click on or activate my camera?

Bonjour à tous, Encore novice avec character Animator j'ai fais il n'y a pas longtemps la mis à jour CC 2019. Et lorsque j'utilise mon personnage et que je veut le faire marcher c'est le drame .. Il y a un mouvement , mais c'est jambe et c'est bras ont l'air d'avoir complètement disparus .. Est-ce que quelqu'un saurais d'où ça vient ? Merci pour votre temps

I just updated Ch and added Arm IK to a puppet, that worked just fine before. Now when I walk, the arms just get detached from the shoulders and just swing on their own. When I delete the shoulder-taggs, they stick with the puppet again. Does anybody have an answer to why it is like that? The Arms are independent and Attached to "Auto".

I'm new to CA so apologies if I couldn't find my answer in the forum or extensive google searching. I'm rigging a characters arms that I want to be stiff at the elbow. The upper and lower arm are two distinct layers and should bend as if they were a paper doll pinned at the elbow. But ARM-IK automatically joins the two together and thus warps the art at the elbow for an undesirable result. How do I achieve and arm IK without the application merging the two layers? If it helps, imagine the character character is mode out of wood, the upper and lower arms are both stiff boards with a nail joining the elbow. I want the ends to maintain shape integrity as the arm swings. How can i achieve this?Thanks in advance for any help.Thomas

I am building a character in Illustrator for later use in Character Animator. The brush strokes that I am using in Illustrator are only coming into Character Animator as regular pixel strokes.See below for an example. Also, the effects on the shirt in Illustrator are only showing up as a single solid color in Character Animator. Is there a way around this?Thanks!

I don't understand 'best practices' when it comes to saving my work on CA, the stuff I saved to Google Drive is not helping.

Hi.Is it possible to capture images for characterizer and export the captured images to another computer to render the puppet there?And is it possible to import images from another camera (sd-card) to characterizer to build a puppet from these images?(I know I can import a still image to render one cartoon image with a style from the characterizer, but I want to bulid a puppet for animation without using the web cam)Thank you!Christian

I'm new to character animator I want to utilize this product for work! My question is that is it possible to create an original character and animate it in adobe character? If so how does one go about it?
