Hello Community,I have four puppets all doing the same thing using motion library, and recording movements. I was wondering can I just copy everything I did on one puppet to another. That would be a huge time saver.

Bonjour J'ai du mal à importer un fichier AI dans Character animator la version Beta

Hi all! I hope you can help me out. I'm trying to create a puppet that's basically a coil/spring with eyes and arms. The idea is that he moves by jumping around (because he's a spring). I wanted to use the motion library, so we can use the jump animations. So I have a puppet with a body, a face, left arm and right arm. I added sticks with dangle to the body on the places of the coil lines, so it doesn't bend in unnatural ways and still is bouncy. So far, so good.  Now when I add a jumping motion from the library, the puppet kind of jumps but he also rotates around the center slowly. So after 5 jumps he's upside-down. How can I prevent this? What I already tried: - Adding handles with head/neck/hips/knees/heels along the body. This caused the coil to be unrecognizably torn apart during the jumping motion. - Adding knees/feet with separate handles also torns the puppet apart, because his "feet" are just the bottom line of the spring and can't move independen

Why does my character not load? The program claims there is a problem with the graphics card, which there is not or adobe ilerstrator would not work either! How do I fix this!

Hi allI've purchased 2 'advanced' puppets from Graphicmama, thinking I could use them with Motion Library.After 2 days of trying I can't get it to work.If anyone could help I'd be extremely grateful.(Happy to share puppet if needed).Thank very much!

I recently upgraded my laptop just so I could run Character Animator more quickly.However, with the upgraded hardware, when I click Record, it takes 8 real time seconds to record 1 second of the scene. And it seems to be jerking forward 3 frames at a time.The entire scene is 3 minutes and 40 seconds long.At the present time, I only have 9 tracks in the timeline.Any help would be appreciated.Should I uninstall and reinstall Character Animator?Thank you.  

I've got a character nicely rigged with the standard IK arm behavior, following the standard shoulder-stick-elbow-stick-dragable hand method. The rest of the head and body are controlled by the head with various sticks and pins to dampen the movement of the character to their waist and this works well.When I drag the hand and leave (Hold in place) it holds but is still subject to movement from the head, torso and body albeit a small amount. Is there a concrete way to plant the hand rock solid?

I want my puppet to start off camera to the right.When the scene begins, I want the puppet to walk into view and then start talking.I do the following: [1] click "Record," [2] use the arrow keys to start the puppet walking in.The puppet never moves and the recording automatically stops.Is there a way to do what I want to do?Thank you!

HI, I created my character starting from the "blank" character and replacing all the body and face parts in Illustrator. All naming seems to be correct. When I try to use my character in "recording" mode the eyebows are not behaving properly: if both "crowns" are on, only the left brow will move and defor the left side of the head. If I disable both "crowns" the brows will move together but they will deform the head too. I tried all possible combinations but I don't seem to be able to make it work. Thank you Sergio

I'm using:Character Animator 2022 (22.3)Windows on desktopLatest NDI Tools with the LauncherOBS Studio I have read most (if not all) of the threads in here about this same issue but from what I can tell, none of them have been resolved. Randomly (or for a reason unknown) my puppet won't appear in my OBS Studio stream. Last time it happened, I simply reinstalled NDI tools, loaded everything up again and the option for the CA puppet was in the NDI webcam selections. Therefore the issue is definitely the connection between CA and the NDI Tools. I've even been able to load up CA and just OBS in the past without needing to launch NDI tools and the puppet appears in OBS Studio. Now the connection won't work again. I have uninstalled both CA and NDI Tools (completely), rebooted, etc etc and I still can't NDI Webcam to pick up my puppet from CA. I have not changed any of the required settings with regards to : however I only get a blank screen with the option to select "remote c

So I have been trying to implement Limb IK for a Four Legged character. Followed the usual tutorials from Okay Samurai. The issue is that IK only recognizes one pair of legs and roots to ground only on that pair. The other pair just floats but it works on with a walk cycle. What Can I do to make the Character animator recognize both

When I enable physics for a scene, the physics-enabled objects fall to the bottom of the screen.  This does not work for a scene with perspective.  I want the objects to fall to the level where the puppets are standing in the scene.  I thought about adding static layers with "collide" to the points where the puppets would be standing but I want to know if there is a better way.  Thanks in advance.

hey im creating a puppet that has 2 phases one that is idel and one that is talking. Im using layer picker audio so that it standards on idle and moves to talking when i talk. However the puppet flips back to quickly to idle when im talking which makes it look weird is there a way to make it so that layer picker stays on the talking layer for a few seconds before switching back to idle when it receives input?

Hi, I've got a problem with one of my characters in character builder, where the character rotates around its neck/head ignoring the fixed points on its feet, also when I've tried to make the character draggable there appears to be a part of the character around the head which is fused to the spot so it just deforms everything around it as you pull the body away. I can't find a soloution so any help would be greatly appreciated. Please find my puppet file here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VLX-3LfL3Z46lYoA6TZCciXTr1xvpbSf/view?usp=sharing Thanks.

How does Dave Werner create the blinking lights on the puppet Xbox. I exported the three layer of lights to my character and gave them a cycle layer behavior and nothing happened.

HiI have a timeline where my character ocasionally walks left or right to point to different parts of the screen.I'm using Motion Library (thanks for previous help on that!) for the walks and on the timeline everything looks good.Despite checking and rechecking, and using the 'reset position' button, at certain points when exporting, the character ends up in the wrong place (too far right?.Any ideas what's going wrong?I'm wondering if a 3 minute video is too much. Perhaps I need to break it down to several smaller projects.Thanks in advance!Pete

I have a project of one of my students, but i can't open it on my computer. There is also an older version with the same puppet which opens without problems.Does anybodyknow - what this error means - and how i can correct it. I can also send the project if you want to have a look inside.

I created and rigged my own puppet. Everything seems to be working except when I push record, the puppet disappears. Any suggestions?

Greetings,     I have a puppet with different views: Frontal, Left Quarter, Left Profile etc.. Please see Image below.     I realize that for a given view (let's say Left Quarter), the head being in any of the following 3 Positions: Frontal / Left Quarter / Left Profile would be just fine. And it would be nice to have this flexibility to implement something like a Slight Head turn in either direction.      However, does this mean that for each of the views of the Puppet, I'll have to create 3 Head Positions? That's a lot of duplicated layers to add to the Puppet. Is there a better / recommended Structure to implement this?      Thanks in advance for your help.Regards,Rajnesh

It appears that the automatically selected Default Input value has the potential to prevent recording. See this thread for the details. Solved: Character Animator Not Recording & Playhead Not Mo... - Adobe Support Community - 9260793
