Fate of Character Animator

Is there a roadmap or some resources that show future features as well as what is being worked on currently?

 

Seems like the feature updates have slowed since the motion library and there are alot of features that are needed.

 

I have been using Rive for web animations lately and the UI and UX is such a nice relief from CA. I truly recommend that the CA dev team study other animation softwarea a bit more and start incorporating those commonalities. 

 

The tools at the moment are too restrictive and based on specific rigs. Unfortunately. Alot of workarounds are needed to do anything outside of the current setup.

 

There should be advanced and basic controls. 

 

Instead of face, I'd like an unlabeled component wrapper or container that i can assign behaviors to.

Face should be the basic, but advanced should have divs or containers with lots of options for behaviors, etc.

 

Make it more capable of working with timelines, behavior groupings, flexible/rubber bones, but most of all improve the shared puppet feature for "reusable components" and better mirroring for reusable components like right quarter and right profile.

 

Make walk not require 3 profiles. Alot of rigs could benefit from reduced bloat when all you need is a torso turn and feet swapping especially when using head turns. Alot of redundant work reduces the workscope timeline and also makes the puppets suboptimal for framerates.
