Question

Importing from Photoshop

Hi...I am trying to import my first character from photoshop into Character Animator but for some reason it won't let me. Right now I only have the head, right eye, right pupil, and right blink. Do I need to completely finish my character or do I need to save it differently in Photoshop or what? If anyone has the answer to this please let me know. Thanks

    Can you share the puppet or more information? Not much can be suggested without that.

    It was resolved by adobe support. Very easy solution: the PSD file was saved without an extension. I just had to rename the file as name.psd

    No. When I try to import my file is greyed out so I can't even select it. Here is what I have so far, just trying to test it out.

    Thank you!

    Hmmm - not sure what's up, but:

    1. That file seems extremely big if you're only at 18.8% zoom - is it possible to reduce the image size?

    2. Your Head and Body groups should be inside your +Phill group.

    3. You should remove the word "Head" from the head background layer or it gets tagged as a second head.

    Are you able to open up other template characters? Is it just your own creations that you're having an issue with, or any PSD or .puppet / .chproj file?

    You should be able to import a PSD anytime...can you post a screenshot of your layer structure? So it doesn't even let you import it into CH?
