Copy Puppet setup?

Hello All,

We took a puppet we were working with and changed some of the colors of some layers in Illustrator. The issue now is when I import the illustrator file it has lost all of the setup information. Is there a way to copy the setup information from one character to another when they are 100% the same (Other than some of the layer colors)

Is there a way I can export the puppet and work on the artwork without losing the IK and all the setup info?

Thanks,

Baxter

    "Before Copy it (backup)" Just find old folder project Character Animator Files, go in side folder than"ch Media ->Gathered Media" there is a photoshop file change it with your new photoshop.

    If I understand correctly, you need to export the Puppet from inside CH (there is “Export Puppet” in the menus). You can then import this puppet into another project. It makes a copy of the artwork file all all the rigging (behaviors etc from CH). Importing the illustrator file does not include the rigging information (only the artwork).
