Hi,I am using motion library on a puppet. My issue is that when I add a movement I also need to tweak the settings to make the 2nd movement work on the puppet. What I find is that when I fine tune, say, ballet and then add a jump, the changes I do to the jump are reflected on the ballet. For example, let´s say I want the feet to keep in place in the ballet, so I desactivate the controls on the feet. But then I want to it to jump, and I activate them. When I go back to the ballet, the feet are activated also there.How can I change settings of each movement without affecting the others? Thanks   

how to rig arab character or girl in dress

Hi all,I have a bunch of super-complicated puppets that were created months ago - and used a lot in the interim. In efforts to keep the file size down, I took @oksamurai 's advice (original post from last August if anyone's interested) and made the different heads shareable, but I think I messed up by making a totally separate file for the heads and leaving the bodies with flat replaceable layers for placement purposes. I just noticed an unmoving eyebrow in the profile views of my heads, which I had thought that I'd fixed in a previous project but whatever, so I opened all the head files in my media folders and, cut the eyebrow out of the face background layer, put it on a new layer, labeled correctly, and adjusted the face layer accordingly.In my Ch puppet, the face layer now shows no eyebrow which is great, but the separate eyebrow layer isn't importing. If this was a regular puppet, I'd refresh the link, but I can't find the link here.I know this whole thread might be a bi

An application where a ChatBot (talking head)  actually talks to user based on user inputs. Having a conversion such as Q&A user either text or we use STT one way and TTS in return where the conversion is generated by a specialized backend (possibly a GPT-3 type Language model ) with domain specific data.Looking at Adobe Character Animator and trying to figure out if its possible:- Have the puppet exported/published with  the lip-sync control to a web JS / Canvas environment- Either through Adobe Animate ( HTML5 ) or differentSo far I couldn't find a possible pipeline to accomplish this with Adobe's tools.Any Ideas ?

Hey! I was wondering if anyone has run into this issue before and come up with a solution/workaround.I have a complex puppet with a head turner and multiple views applied to the head and a swap set controlling the multiple body views. I've also got a walk cycle applied. When the walk cycle is running, the head stays sort of pinned and the neck becomes distorted - meaning the head doesn't move together with the walk/body. This happens even if I don't record the face behavior during the walk.I'm currently working in Beta V23.0.0.8 but I have this problem in the regular Character Animator as well.

I have installed NDI 5 tools for Creative cloud. (This has worked previously with NDI 4)When I launch Character Animator I have the option to to choose NDI Output.I launch the NDI Webcam, and there are 4 video source option. On the video source 1 I cannot choose Character Animator... it is not an option. NDI is also available on After Effects nad Premiere Pro but they are not available as otions either. Anyone else have this issue?

 I want to hold the bottom of the hood in place, and then I want to move the top of the hood with the head. The challenge I have is that the entire hood (even the parts draped over the characters chest) move with the head. I'm trying to hold that chest portion down (as if it's resting on his chest) while the top moves (as if it's actually resting on his head.) Haha, sorry for going in circles, but I wanted to be as to what my challenge was. Hope someone out there can help! Cheers!

Is it possible to have both auto swap and triggers function in a single puppet? As an example, I would like to create a puppet with a set of auto swap arms AND triggers for specialty arms (like arms crossed or hands clasped together with interlocked fingers). Each work fine when done individualy. Can they work in the same puppet? How? Thank you!

I made an artwork on photoshop with all their respective folders and I'm trying to upload it to Character Animator, but on starter mode and I can't because my .psd file is grayed out so I'm not able to select it. I'm really new to this.

Hi, I'm working on my second Ch puppet. Everything looks fine apparently - no rigging issues found.However, when I compute lip synch, it works perfectly for the neutral mouth. But when I trigger the sad mouth, the lip synch remains in neutral. The default sad mouth will trigger independently, but does not compute with lip synch. The lip synch properties are seeing both sad mouth and neutral for all mouth shapes. I'm attaching a couple of screen shots. Any help or guidance would be gratefully received!

Is it possible to update an already-used puppet on the timeline with a new one outside the project? For example, if you use a puppet with certain features in a project timeline. And you add more features in another project. Can the former puppet be updated with the new puppet ( Reload puppet or Replace Puppet)?

Hi! Anyone found out how to take an existing character that is rigged with emotions/behaviors and replays - and you want to cosmetically change colors and features. I have tried unsuccessfully - it seems as though these replays and behaviors and controls need to be set up each time. Is this true?

Is there a way to parallax horizontally only? I have my characters flat top hair that moves down and shifts out of place.

Feel free to send me a link to any videos that may help.   I appreciate your time.

How do I import a rig from adobe after effects into adobe charecter animator?

Hi.I used to use Adobe Characte Animator alot when it first came out and i had a lot of fun watching OkaySamurai on Youtube and learning from him. I used my face to create animated movements. I later started using Adobe After Effects for my character animation just because the head movements in Adobe Character Animator were not very suitable for my style of videos. Like using rotation keyframes for Head using Adobe After Effects looks really smooth and professional, where as tilting the characters head in Adobe Character Animator using face camera was always not very smooth and shaky, no matter what settings i used. I am curious if theres any update on Adobe Character animator where i can tilt my characters head using buttons, and not my face ? Thank you

Newbie - New rig - Blink works, and the left pupil follows the camera, but the right pupil does not!I've looked at the character, and I cannot see any attribute differences between the two eyes, other than obviously, left vs right symmetry.I've also compared this to some of the "Example Characters" and the only difference I see is for PUPIL RANGE both the eyeball AND range are blue, but this is the way the rig auto-imports from Photoshop. Again tho, the left eye works fine, but the right eye is stuck Any suggestions?

I have 3 triggers but my Binder Paper trigger is not showing up on my record timeline. Does anyone know why ??

I am on character animator and I can't seem to get my charcter to walk off the scene like she did before. How do I fix this?

Hello everyone !I am working with Alex puppet. When i do a positional walk to the right, once reaching the destination, he currently maintains the right profile for an additional second. I would like him to immediately return to frontal view once arriving. What setting needs to be adjusted for this ? Bonus question : How am I able to combine a positional walk, with a left/right arrow key walk into a single video ? Do I make seperate videos and combine them later in permiere pro ? Or am i somehow able to do it with different scenes? There's so much to learn and I'm still a beginner. Thanks for your answers!
