Hi guys,

 

Does anyone know how to convert the puppit layers from psd to ai cc 2020?

I want to create differt head sides but every puppit template that has that is a psd file. i want to stay in ai.
Is there a convertion sheet? i just want to know the order and name's of the layers.

 

Thanks in advance for your time

how do you import the simple mouth template.AI onto a character you have already developed in AI?

when I try to drag it over to the character file it shows a a black circle with a slanted black line thru it.

not letting me import it into my character file

I love the cat puppet and would love to use her. I'm trying to change the color on her though so she's a black cat (like mine). Any tips on how to do that without it looking weird?

After importing the puppet into CH, right-click it in the project panel and select the reveal option. This will show you the original AI/PSD file. Then I'd just through layer by layer and change the orange/yellow color to black. The hardest part will be the tail, since that's a multi-frame sequence so you'll have to change each part of the cycle.

Just learning Character Animator. Loving it. What a time saver! Quick note: The link to Dojo Joe above just opens up a thumbnail pic. Is there another way to get to that puppet file? Thanks.

Love this app. Below is a link to my 5th video, but the 1st in which I also incorporate Adobe Fuse animations.  I am a 61 year old user, so that means this app is so straight forward "Anybody can use it". Enjoy!

Please watch to at least the 2 minute mark so you can enjoy the "Angry White Guy Singers" built with Adobe Fuse.

Hey okSamuri, In your video on youtube (I am posting this on your channel as well), you demonstrated those eyes and eyebrows with mouth combo that is downloadable. Where can I find that face package that is pre-rigged. Can I go through each layer in photoshop and change the color, shape and location individually?

Also, can I put a png string of files into animate cc? Does character animator have any connections to animate cc where I can import?

Okay Samurai Puppet Pack is here: http://adobe.ly/297v7Wg. Check out the shareable puppet files in there. When you bring it into CH, try Edit > Edit Original to open it up and edit in Photoshop. No direct connections to Animate CC yet - but we hear that as a common request.

Is it possible to have an example baby or child puppet?  I've tried to swap out the body parts in the examples given but it never looks quite right I am beginning a project where I need to animate a small child or infant and a mom --- as part of a training program for parents of deaf children. I think my problem is the body proportions -- don't know how to substitute the example puppets with different body proportions and maintain all the rigs. 

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Smart Ears​ No baby examples I know of (yet), sorry. I would resize the character in Photoshop and redo/remove any body rigging in Character Animator - resizing isn't going to translate things like draggable & fixed handles or sticks well.

Thanks!

I will need to create one from scratch and see how it goes.

Erwan21​ If you dig into the folders on the left you should see the "Instructions" puppets - you can turn the visibility for those off or just delete them.

    I don't think I will understand all of this. I want to make like a Halloween Poster, or highlight words. I think my free trial will end now.

    Hi Cheryl - If you're looking to make a printed poster, Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign may be better bets; Character Animator is a video animation program.
