Hi.

I am new to Character Animator. I am learning the basics at the moment.
Before I proceed, I would like to know how easy or feasible is it to make more than one character for an animated cartoon. Let's say for example I wanted three characters?

How would I go about doing this? I have watched tons of Okay Samurai's videos. He is great. But I haven't seen how to incorporate more than one character.
I am interested in making an educational YT video, in 2D animation style.

Thanks for any input.

Yes it's possible to have multiple characters in a single scene. You can control them and sync the audio by selecting the puppets one by one. You need to see the complete cartoon workflow video where @oksamurai puts it all together using Character Animator and Adobe After Effects to make a complete cartoon with multiple characters. It's a long one, but worth the watch: Complete Cartoon Workflow (Adobe Character Animator Tutorial)

Hi.

Thank you for replying so fast. I began watching this tutorial but it seems I stopped watching because I saw it was a 4 year old video. I wasn't sure if it would be relevant anymore.

I will watch this. I hope Dave comes up with some new tutorials. He is really a gifted teacher.

Thanks again! 🙂
