Character Animator

Hey gang hope everyone is doing great.I'm learning a lot watching the tutorials for CH.My issue is that my characters lip sync camera detection isn't always mouthing the words that I'm saying, seems the shape is off. I grabbed Chad just to test but still seems a little off tooAny thoughts and thank you for your help in advance and much appreciated. I am adding a screen shot of the rig and also a video I recorded to test the lip sync.Thanks again.   

Hello,I'm new to character animator. I drew my own puppet with mouth movements and arm movements so my character can raise his arm and talk. I was able to figure out the swap set to make it talk using the how to videos. My question is, is there a way to make his arm trigger (switch to a different pose) automatically via audio or when it recognizes sound? I don't want to us the keyboard for this trigger. I tried the cycle layers, layer picker (using the audio input option) and leader/follower behaviors but couldn't get any of them to work. Am I missing something? Is this possible because I've seen a puppet on a youtube channel with this feature. Please let me know if this is even possible. Note: Also I do not have a camera hooked up at this time. Thanks much

Hello, i have a question, i've been sitting here for hours trying to make it so that when you drag the hand it will also move the forearm and the bicep together while all three being independant object, is there some kind of parent option i'm not seeing? I remember being able to do this with an old version of the software back in the days (i rememberber i could do that with the stapler tool i think) but apparently a lot of things changed and i can't do the same effect anymore.I make a dummy character so that it is visually easier to understand:https://drive.google.com/open?id=1VYu0Y8Y2rZi1UE-rshB8sjwSpfyt9Yw-Please help.Thank you very much !

Does anyone know how to un-share a part of your puppet after you've clicked "Make Shareable?" (Other than using the History menu to un-do it?)I have a set of arms I would like to share within my puppet so I can use one set for each of my body views; however, I need to add a Swap Set to the arms first. Once you've clicked "Make Shareable," the option to add a Swap Set is no longer available. You can add triggers, but add Swap Set is greyed out -- why is that?So, I'd like to un-share my arms, add the Swap Set, and then make them shareable! Thoughts?

I have a puppet with a head and a buddy group of layers. Inside the head group there are 5 separated layers for 5 different views.The puppet works perfect when it is standing, but when I add walking behaviour to the puppet and want it to walk, it is not walking.Should I use different bodies for different head views?

It is located in My Documents, the folder location where the Photoshop files are located.After importing this into the character animator and creating a puppet,After saving, the original (Photoshop file) of this puppet isIt's saved in Gathered Media, right?After that, you can reload the puppet and click Edit OriginalIt won't be called.I have the original in Gathered Media2next timeGathered Media3 has the original.However, when I open it from “My Documents”, which was the original location,The original can be edited.In the case of the default characters provided by Adobe,It works normally..How should i solve this problem?my computer is macbook os m1Soft updates are up to date.

Hello Community,I have four puppets all doing the same thing using motion library, and recording movements. I was wondering can I just copy everything I did on one puppet to another. That would be a huge time saver.

Bonjour J'ai du mal à importer un fichier AI dans Character animator la version Beta

Hi all! I hope you can help me out. I'm trying to create a puppet that's basically a coil/spring with eyes and arms. The idea is that he moves by jumping around (because he's a spring). I wanted to use the motion library, so we can use the jump animations. So I have a puppet with a body, a face, left arm and right arm. I added sticks with dangle to the body on the places of the coil lines, so it doesn't bend in unnatural ways and still is bouncy. So far, so good.  Now when I add a jumping motion from the library, the puppet kind of jumps but he also rotates around the center slowly. So after 5 jumps he's upside-down. How can I prevent this? What I already tried: - Adding handles with head/neck/hips/knees/heels along the body. This caused the coil to be unrecognizably torn apart during the jumping motion. - Adding knees/feet with separate handles also torns the puppet apart, because his "feet" are just the bottom line of the spring and can't move independen

i keep having a problem exporting my video on here, when its almost done downloading i get this error. i updated my intel and eveything  please help

Right-click on the puppetIf you click Edit Original, you should see the source in Photoshop.It is no longer visible. doesn't appearThe photoshop program itself runs.please tell me how to solve it

Why does my character not load? The program claims there is a problem with the graphics card, which there is not or adobe ilerstrator would not work either! How do I fix this!

Hi allI've purchased 2 'advanced' puppets from Graphicmama, thinking I could use them with Motion Library.After 2 days of trying I can't get it to work.If anyone could help I'd be extremely grateful.(Happy to share puppet if needed).Thank very much!

I recently upgraded my laptop just so I could run Character Animator more quickly.However, with the upgraded hardware, when I click Record, it takes 8 real time seconds to record 1 second of the scene. And it seems to be jerking forward 3 frames at a time.The entire scene is 3 minutes and 40 seconds long.At the present time, I only have 9 tracks in the timeline.Any help would be appreciated.Should I uninstall and reinstall Character Animator?Thank you.  

I've looked in all the forums and I couldn't find answers, help me. Version 22.4

I've got a character nicely rigged with the standard IK arm behavior, following the standard shoulder-stick-elbow-stick-dragable hand method. The rest of the head and body are controlled by the head with various sticks and pins to dampen the movement of the character to their waist and this works well.When I drag the hand and leave (Hold in place) it holds but is still subject to movement from the head, torso and body albeit a small amount. Is there a concrete way to plant the hand rock solid?

I want my puppet to start off camera to the right.When the scene begins, I want the puppet to walk into view and then start talking.I do the following: [1] click "Record," [2] use the arrow keys to start the puppet walking in.The puppet never moves and the recording automatically stops.Is there a way to do what I want to do?Thank you!
