Hi, I am struggling to put my first puppet together. 

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nhthABurqPjFRRP91OeVnbLwcAC0tshE/view?usp=sharing

 

1. the mouth will not move the way I hoped. I put in 12 mouth shapes but most do not show. And it seems very hard to make the mouth move

2. The eyes will not blink

3. the eyes are moving in a weird way.

 

Please help.

I translated Japanese into English using translation software.

 

If you want to make your puppet's mouth move, you have to add a tag for each mouth shape.

 

Normally, Adobe CharacterAnimator will give you a name for each mouth shape, but since the name of your mouth shape is your own, Adobe CharacterAnimator will not automatically tag it for you. So you have to give each mouth shape its own tag.

 

I have made a sample with the Photoshop file you attached.

However, I don't understand the mouth movements in your language.

You will have to modify the mouth tags yourself.

 

P.S.

To move the face, I separated the neck and head layers.

 

Thanks.
