Character Animator

Hello, everyone, I have an arm with 3 pins, one of them is draggable, the arm has a dragger behavior. I record a movement using the dragger behavior leaving the arm in a different position but when I wish to create a new recording from the position I left of, I can't because the pin returns to the default position. Is there something I can do to record from the last place I left it in?Thanks

Hi,I am new at this and would like to have a psd file for Almasol character so I can modify some colors, etc. The free download only has a puppet file. Would it be okay if I can have the psd file? Thanks.

I have seen some samples of Character Animator Puppets where you can move your head toward/away from the camera, and the character's head gets larger or smaller. The puppet I'm making currently doesn't do that. What setting do I have to manipulate if I want that to happen?Thanks!

How do I resolve or get rid of the Invalid Surface Image.Error Code: (ChangeNotifier.js:48)Error Code (engine.js.474)Error Code: (boostrap.js:3)I am using macOS High Sierra and CA 2019. I can work on the puppet in rig mode but when I go to Record or Stream, this is when I get the error.Invalid Surface Image

Hello,     I  see that I  can Tag a character in several front facing views. But is the same possible for a character facing away?     For example, what if I want to have have the character running away from the Camera?     Thanks in advance.Regards,Rajnesh

in adobe character how do i make have a puppet move from position y 1200 to position y -900 and stay at that final position? whenever i do this movement it either changes the original position of the puppet or it reverse back to the original position. Can you please post the link to the tutorial that explains this?

Hi there!I'm new to animator so sorry if this is dumb but I followed a tutorial and the thing he said to fix this didn't work.So my character only shows up in the walk cycle when he's walking, not when I stop pressing the arrow key. The layer is turned on, which was the tutorial's fix for this. Not sure what I'm missing.I've also tried tagging the frontal one with left profile too per someone's answer on here before but that didn't work either.Thanks for the help!

My macbook is macbook pro(mid-2014)，the OS is mojave，the software can't detect the camera，but i use facetime is normal.Please hlep me to solve it,thank a lot!

I have a new puppet of myself. It's all rigged and working, but after adding the IK behavior to both arms we're seeing that the arms plops back into "rest" even with 1 or 2 second transitions applied to the DRAGGER.I have a screen shot of the problem as well as all the puppet stuff zipped here.Thanks for any help you can give!BOB-1.zip - Google Drive

I want to make puppets in Character Animator that have limbs with multiple parts and move without meshing around the joints,like in the GIF above. How do I do that?

Quick disclaimer: I'm just starting, so if there's something obvious I might be missing... that may be it, just point me there ^^I'm trying to go through tutorials, and I'm in first minute of first video Creating a Basic Face |​. It says around 30s that opening puppet will open Photoshop. I choose Blank Face and... well, it doesn't open PS. Edit->'Edit original' doesn't work either. PS simply doesn't open (and if I open it myself, it doesn't load said puppet files).What to do?

Is the only way to access character animator through adobe suite?I would love to make "avatars" for more live streamers, but $52 a month is so much to ask for just the use of one programis it because it only works in conjunction with other programs apart of the package?thanks!

Hi All,I have an issue which is I cannot get my character to walk in Character Animator CC.I think I set up my character correctly as I saw in different tutorials, however I still cannot get it to work, I mean that after importing the Ai file into Ch and inserting all the handles as mentioned in the tutorials, I can see in the walk behavior that the values beside the handles are all zero, and I really need to know why.Appreciate your help.Also I need your help in advising me how to attach the Ch and Ai files, please.Thank you

I'm all updated to CC2019.  I cannot get Ch to open my puppet in Photoshop CC2019. I can't find a setting in Preferences, etc.Anyone else experience this?

I have been putting together a new series of little Live Streamed videos introducing Character Animator. Not high quality - going for quick to produce rather than quality so I can get more done, so more ums and ahs etc. I would start with the Adobe tutorials first, but this might be a useful secondary resource.Project Wookie - YouTube I may create another playlist for Illustrator based artwork in the future.Partly using it to learn how to Live Stream with Character Animator as well. E.g. using my son's hex core laptop with GTX 1060 GPU works MUCH better than my normal dual core laptop. The extra CPUs seem to make the main difference - enough CPU for each of the programs. (I can share more about my setup if any interest.)Note: Searching on YouTube there are a lot more resources being created around. If you have been creating a channel as well feel free to drop a link here in the comments so others can find it!

I have no idea what is wrong hereshe is appearing without one eye even though all layers are visible and presentdoes this have something to do with a mask maybe?to be clear, it only disappears in record/stream mode, but not in rigany help appreciated!suppose I'll have to use an eyepatch if i can't get it sorted (lol)

I have a Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000.  The drivers are installed and up to date.  After setting up the facial captures in CA Characterizer, the camera stops working when going back to Animator.  The audio levels function, but not the camera.  While this occurs, when I open the Logitech software to perform a capture using that software, the camera is not recognized.  I have to reboot the pc, then unplug and plug in the Pro 9000 cable in order for the camera to again function properly.  Any answers?

In case anyone missed it, Adobe shared a sneak peak on 2.0 features. (Thanks Dave!)Browsing through a few things caught my eye. No release date was mentioned...  😞The new squashing and damping looked nice - sounds like might work well on hair too (I hope). There was a 3/4 walk perspective - but no frontal walk (I think a full frontal walk would be hard mind you - because its not just stretching the artwork.) Personally, I am hoping 3/4 walk will make a frontal walk easier to fake - I just zoom in on the torso anyway (hide the legs) - a walk behavior that just did the boring bobbing up and down of the body for a frontal view is still useful to increase productivity. Arm bending support - bring it on! That one really had to be fixed. Good to see arm stretchyness addressed as well.Question: The "Work Area Bar" - the video mentioned can export a subrange. Do the physics start from the start of the scene? (Will it solve that problem today?) Does this get remembered when you lea

I don't understand how the "In Transition" layers work with motion triggers. I've tried setting one up but I don't what actually makes it trigger. I can't get it to happen predictably. I can't find any resource that talks about it.

The head, which is a face background, just keeps squashing and stretching like a waterbed when I move my head.  And the pupil just seems to drift around.  How to I fix it?

Hey all,Anyone out there know what this means? I'm trying to work on a project and this message keeps popping up and not sure what to do. Any thoughts?

When I start Charakter Animator my c drive fills up rather quickly. I think those are temp datas because as soon as I quite CA I get the space back. But I couldn't find any prefs to put those data onto another Harddrive or do I overlook something? I my opinion this should be an option because if I work on a project and it fills my c drive and I can't continue to work this would be an extreme problem.

I want my characters arms to essentially be ropes, where it is attached via a hinge to the shoulder and the hand, then I want to make the hand draggable. However, I made the hand independent and when I attach it with the hinge to the arm and I drag it, the hand just detaches from the arm.

In one of the recent videos, there was a way to create a left profile from a right profile but essentially doing a horizontal rotation. This seems like a very easy way to create the profile. But I can't find the video, and can't figure out how to do it.  Was I dreaming or can this be done?Also are there any videos on the workspace, having a very difficult time maneuvering between panels and getting back to ones I want.  ThanksJohn

Hey I'm having an issue with the breath behavior. When ever I turn up the offset parameter on the behavior, the handle with the breath tag becomes fixed in place. Any idea what's happening?
