Followed All Guidelines, But Body and Arms Remain Static – Need Help
Hello,
I'm creating a flat 2D character in Adobe Character Animator and following all the official guidelines.
Although I’ve carefully set up the layer structure, tagging, and applied all necessary behaviors – the body and arms don’t move at all, only the head is responding.
I’ve watched several official tutorial videos, and there are things that don’t happen in my setup, for example:
The character is supposed to move as one unit (head, body, and arms together), but in my case, only the head reacts.
In tutorials, you can see a dotted line connecting the arms to the torso – I don’t see that line in my puppet.
When properly connecting the arms to the torso with an origin handle, the entire body should turn green, indicating the connection – but that doesn’t happen in my case, even when I place the handles exactly as shown.
What I’ve done so far:
✔️ Added the Body behavior
✔️ Tagged Left Shoulder / Right Shoulder
✔️ Placed origin and dragger handles
✔️ Verified that all layers are named and structured properly
Still, the body remains static and unresponsive.
I've attached screenshots from my project to demonstrate.
I’d appreciate any help, or I can send the project file for review if needed 🙏
