I am very new to using Character Animator.

I have followed the initial tutorial to create my own puppet in Illustrator.

I don`t know how to refresh and render my graphic to what I've created. Anyone has had this problem?

    When color bars appear, it means the expected path to the source artwork is no longer valid. Maybe the file was moved? If you select the "Nowan" puppet in the Project panel, then look in the Puppet section of the Properties panel, is the file path shown appearing in yellow (indicating it's missing)? If so, if you click that file link, then relink to the intended location of the Illustrator artwork file, does the artwork show up again the Puppet panel?
