- Опубліковано 4 чер 2024
- Rigging in Adobe Character Animator is the process of adding special animation information to an imported PSD (Adobe Photoshop) or AI (Adobe Illustrator) file. In this tutorial, we're going to walk through creating a character completely from scratch, learning how to set up your artwork and add things like tags, handles, behaviors, sticks, and more in Character Animator's Rig mode. You can follow along and create your own character, and by the end you should have a customized creation ready for your next animated project!

Your videos are allowing me to create things I thought were completely out of my skill set. You're an awesome teacher...rock on!
what are those things? let me see!
All of your tutorial videos have helped me with a goal of making classical Aesop's Fables come to life with animation. Animals have been tricky to animate but your videos have been instrumental in learning the program. Thank you Dave for all that you do and keep the awesome videos coming!
could not have gotten started on a project without your help, one of the best adobe tutorials ive ever watched
This is an amazing overview. Love that you also shared all those types of puppets at the end.
Is there a National award for amazing teachers? Because you deserve it and a raise✨💯👍🏽
You could not have been clearer in explaining the step by step process for beginners into how to use Character Animator, fantastic! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this, it was so easy to follow and clear. I'll be binging your other videos now!
You have no idea how much your videos about adobe character animator are helping me, thank you so much
Another great tutorial. A very engaging nature and a clear, concise yet natural approach . Thank you.
I installed Character Animator for the first time today but I've already learned a lot from your videos. Great timing with this one! Thank you! 😁
You have one of the best detailed tutorials that I really can finish even when it's so long! Great job!
Everytime I forget how to use character animator, I go to this video right here to get me started after I create the asset. Works every time.
If no one learns even after watching this video, they can never learn.
You are a great teacher
it was impossible for me to get started with animation but after watching your videos I am so confident and able to make my own animation, thank you very much.
Your are the best teacher ever! In 48 hours i learn how to move a character, im not know ANYTHING before. Thanks for all your lessons!
This is the best Puppet production tutorial I have ever seen.
How do you structure Hands triggers using Photoshop with the layers?
Check out sample characters in the app like Chloe. Typically you add a hand group inside your arm group with a bunch of different states and make a triggered swap set to move between them.
You're the man!!! @@okaysamurai
I know, you've taught . It ans so much to so many people, you are helping us pursue our dreams! Love from Sweden
you're a great teacher, love the simplicity, with details! subbed!
I love it; thank you so much!!! A year later, this is still super helpful. I've rigged my character in this video using your tutorial. Still got some fine tuning to finish, but it's SO MUCH BETTER than my previous ones!
This video made me restore the faith I lost in my own computer skills. You’re a great teacher for achieving that, it’s the first video of this length that kept me interested until the very last second! Now I’m confident that I can make an animation video of and for our band playing a Christmas song

Your are the best teacher ever! I started this morning with one of my own illustrations and having never used adobe character maker, watched through your tutorial how to break down my own illustration into a puppet form. 55 layers in total! 😳🥴😂 i am now half way through making my puppet come to life 👧. She bending, wiggling, and i'm about to add a wink.... 😉😁 I'm just on a break and had to take a moment to say how wonderful your teaching is 👏 The detail you go into in such away to make it exciting instead of tedious, I've loved all the hours I've spent today behind my computer, I've learnt so much, thanks to your way of teaching. I have to go to bed soon because i have a early start but first i'm going to finish rigging the puppets eyes 👀 👀 Subscribed and notification🛎 bell rang. Thank you 🤗 💖😴

"Now NORMALLY we don't float in the air like this and pivot from our necks" 🤣🤣🤣
Amazing tutorials as always! Literally spent the better part of my weekend watching your videos.
Thank you so much! Amazing tutorial!
Hey Dave! Thanks for all of your videos. Super helpful. We have rigged a few characters with body tracking, but the characters arms are glitchy/twitchy. When working to adjust the sensitivity, the rigging causes the arms to pop up at like 45 degrees at a resting position. Have you seen this or heard of it? Any suggestions possibly?
With any body tracking character I do, I have to do a lot of adjustments in the Limb IK and Body parameters. If the arms are looking weird in a resting position (45 degrees instead of to your sides), usually adjusting calibration (we recommend starting in an A position when calibrating, but you can try other poses and see if they work any better) or which body handles are tracked helps to fix it. We have also internally discussed about wanting to add a "smoothness" parameter to body tracking to ideally smooth some of the twitchiness out of it. Hope that helps...If the problem persists, please upload a video to the official forums at adobe.com/go/chfeedback so we can take a closer look.
This video really helped me alot thank you.
Thank you for the excellent tutorials
Great job as usual!
I was desperate to have a look at the entire process on the latest version. Thanks
Great tutorials, thanks a lot!
Oh my god so good explained thank you!!!!
AWESOME VIDEO! THANKS SO MUCH!
Great course - thank you very much! I've installed this program several times, but could never get started and figure out the workflow, but now your videos are allowing me to do that. I use Vyond for client work, but CH allows me to do so much more, especially having the rest of the adobe suite. Vyond is pretty good for a web-based program, but I always have to bring it into PR and sometime do frame-by-frame animation to get the results I need. Seems like a waste to pay for it when I already have CH as part of my subscription. Cheers
Much appreciation.
thank you so much, your videos help me a lottt
Thank you so much for this!

hanks lot Sir.. You helping us..
OMG THANKS SO SO MUCH THIS HELPED!!!
