Since this is my first puppet, I want to use a template puppet. It opens in adobe character. How can I toggle it back in forth to open in photoshop to make the artwork

my own character? Is that how it works?

Thanks for any help.

Did you open a template puppet from the start menu? If so, select it in the project panel and then go to Edit/Edit Original. This will open the puppet in either Photoshop or Illustrator. Then you can do any editing you want. It usually is preferable to first save to a new file, so the original template is still available.

You can also download template files from Character Animator resources online, such as from here

Thanks . I got a puppet downloaded into photoshop. Do you know a good video to watch someone change a template puppet to their own.

I tried to change the color of the head but it would only recolor which did not look good.

Thanks again.

On that link I posted above, there is also available a blank puppet template. You can add your artwork from scratch. Look under the Additional Puppet Resources heading for the "Blank Template" link, click that and then download.

I haven't seen a tutorial showing an existing puppet being modified step-by-step. But there are a lot of tutorials on Character Animator Tutorial Videos Two of them are "Making Your First Character" and "Building a Puppet from Scratch" that might help.

It also of course depends on how familiar you are with Photoshop.
