  How you properly structure layers in Illustrator to create character animator keyboard triggers? I was able to trigger several layers are displayed, but after the first layer, I lose the ability to control the eyes, eyebrows, etc.  The tutorials have for example Photoshop, but there is none for illustrator.  I work in illustrator and would not have to move around with Photoshop.

  Thank you, Mark.

  When you configure multiple views puppets (that is, by pressing keyboard triggers to switch to profile/quarter views), you need to adapt the behavior of the Face and behavior of lip sync (if do lip sync), the puppet of top level down to the individual view subpuppets. For your work or any other configured in this way, follow these steps:

  1. In the project Panel, select the puppet.
  2. In the properties panel, remove the face and Lip Sync behaviors.
  3. Double-click the puppet to open it in the Panel of the puppet.
  4. Whirlpool open character > subpuppet Chief (in your example) so you can see the layers view subpuppet.
  5. Select all the layers in view subpuppet (in your case, currently, before and on the right side).
  6. Add the behaviors of face and Lip Sync in the add behavior menu ('+ ') in the properties panel. This allows you to adjust the settings on a view-by-view basis.

  Now, that you trigger different views, your facial expressions and speech can still control the character's face.

• How to combine character animator with movement sequences after effects puppet?

  Hey community! I hope that everyone is having a good day/night

  So I used successfully the facial recognition to my really cool talking characters with character animator, and I intend to do the rest of the artwork of the puppet/movement/scene in After Effects, but...

  After I imported the scene in After Effects, I noticed that I have no control over the assets any longer, and the composition is just the stage with none of the layers... If After Effects will play the scene and I would exprt but that's all.

  How can I combine puppets of the face of the host character with puppets and gestural stage with After Effects? My guess is that my workflow control is false. Any help would be greatly appreciated

  I did it by creating an image file separated with everything except the head and then using this second file to animate in Ae.

  It's easy enough to create the second body file (I use Photoshop) by dragging the layers appropriate to the library. It should also be possible to use the library in Ae.

  This works well for me and so far seems more flexible.

• How to import audio data in character animator?

  Hi, I'm trying to use character animator to automate the movement of the mouth of my videos of stop motion.  I figured out how I wanted to set up the mouths and everything, but I can't import my voice on audio file into the project.  Could you please tell me how to import an audio file in the host for the lip sync?  Is this posible or you save the application (which is very annoying).

  Thank you for your time,

  Justin nifong

  You can import the audio as you import any file (File/Import)

  Then drag it to the stage, select the puppet desired, then go to object/calculation Lip Sync of Audio scene

  How to make an animated character in legacy video

  Hi Mika... Character does export a PNG sequence (and the WAV file) when you export the scene. In After Effects, you would use the file > Scripts > new Comp character animator Recording.jsx script to import the exported scene. Once in AE, you can composite it with other elements, and then export it out of AE in a film format. Optionally, if you want to only convert the scene exported character in a film format, you can use Adobe Media Encoder - just drag the .xml file that has also been exported queue of the SOUL.

• Ready for character animation... To start from scratch or use the template?

  Hey everybody!

  First of all... I'm so amazed with character animation. Good job Adobe!

  I have a children's music group called 'Panda Party' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1HDW1Q-H-c

  Up to now, everything has been based costume, but now with the amazing launch of animation character I can now start to do complete cartoons.

  I have just completed all the elements separated from the parts of the body, forms of mouth, eye flashes etc one of the character 'Penny Panda' ready to make my first cartoon character. I used the basic model of puppet character animation in photoshop and began to move the layers where they should be. Unfortunately, even if the head has been correct at first... as I moved forward a lot of elements was incorrect, eyes were not suite and locations of shape and the body of the original puppet eyes threw a lot!

  With something like this you would tell completely from scratch, and rename elements of an original rather than a puppet template file? And if so is it as simple as just the final layered psd correctly named imported puppet and animation character will be ready?

  Or y at - it another puppet model more suited to this type of bodywork that I start with?

  Thank you Adobe! Can't wait to start rolling on our news with the new characters

  Hi Kob... If your character does not have the views of profile/quarter for the head, you had to be able to use the model of default puppet (new puppet in Photoshop / Illustrator), but if you have multiple views, Wendigo as described Jerry would be a good idea to follow. Alternatively, you can boot from your original artwork and group/rename layers as needed.

  When you use any existing puppet (Wendigo, model by default, etc.) model, you want to make sure to spend all handles for Fixed/Dangle/etc. to suitable locations based on your artwork, so that they are not above the empty parts of the document.

  If you are still experiencing difficulties to achieve usable results, feel free to post a screenshot of your work layer hierarchy or a shareable link to your work file to look at us.

  Thank you.

• Character animation save problem

• Creating a character from scratch in Photoshop - can not move arms/legs separately in character animator?

  For the first time creating a character from scratch in Photoshop, and I can't do the arms and legs move separately from the body. When I click on one arm and drag, whole body stretches with her. I already copied the structure of exact file of the buddy "photoshop" model, but always without success. The face works fine, I can do blink and make the movements of the mouth. It's just the body with that I have problems. Any thoughts? Here is a screenshot of my layers in Photoshop and below is a screenshot of the puppet character animator properties.

  

  

  Usually, it's because it's think mistakenly that the arms and body are interconnected like a mesh somehow. Try clicking on 'Show the mesh' in the toolbar at the bottom, and then select the layers - the triangles overlap only in the art of character, or white spots? If it's over white spots, as well as between the body and the arm, so you can check and delete / erase any trace of problem.

  Another thing to try is in the right panel under properties of the puppet, try to set the Mesh outline instead of Auto shape. It's another way to look at the stitch which sometimes does not take into account such issues.

  If everything still doesn't work, please post your PSD and I can take a closer look. Good luck!

• Adobe + character animator animating?

  Character animator will work with host Adobe? How?

  For example: it will be available as an independent application and be able to export to animate, or do you think that it will be somehow integrated with Animate?

  Thank you!

  I imported just a character animator scene in Adobe animate, and it seems to work. I don't know yet, animate, but I imported the first png of the scene and animate asked if I wanted the entire sequence of png. After that the video plays.

• rigging in character character animator?

  Greetings,

  Is there the character rigging in character animator or y at - he plans to incorporate it at a later date?  Furthermore, what about character market cycles that are already chocked pre?

  Thank you.

  Rig currently in character animator adds handles like Minesweeper, sticks, fixed, etc. - see this tutorial for example: sticks & sliding (Adobe character animator Tutorial) - YouTube. A walk cycle, currently either to do a) add sticks and handfuls of Minesweeper feet and drag them to animate a walk cycle, or b) are a frame by frame walk cycle in Photoshop/Illustrator and trigger by using the behavior of layers of cycle.

  If you are talking about a system full of IK, everything is finally possible - while we are focused mainly on the face and movements of base members up to this point, we carry out a full 'character' is much more! We hope to continue to build on this Foundation and provide tools and systems that make it easier than ever to get great results, professional appearance.
