What's new in Character Animator 23.0?
Motion Library:
The Character Animator Motion Library includes over 350 full-body character animations recorded by expert motion actors. It enables you to create innovative and fascinating ways to bring your characters come to life. Now anyone can easily animate moves that were previously difficult to do. You can select from a variety of pre-defined animations like dancing, jumping, breathing, walking, and more. For instance, you can switch your character's dance moves from the Chicken Dance to the Gangnam Style with a single click. Similarly, you can choose sports moves like Football Stance, Basketball Dribbling, and Soccer moves. Additionally, you get precise controls to modify the animations to your liking. For detailed instructions, visit the Motion Library page of the user guide.
I highly recommend that you watch this YouTube video where Dave Werner and Dan Ramirez from the Character Animator team walk us through the Motion Library and answer questions from the community.
Limitation:
Root positioning in the “Reset at loop” and “Continuous” modes work by accumulating the difference from the previous position. Because of this, during playback, puppets can offset to an unexpected place if the timeline is clicked at random locations.
Workaround:
To accurately reproduce the created animation, play the animation from the beginning sequentially. If puppets offset unexpectedly, use the “Reset Position” button.
