  • 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!

    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!

    • @okaysamurai
      @okaysamurai  7 місяців тому +5

      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.

    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 🤗 💖😴

    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?

    • @okaysamurai
      @okaysamurai  2 роки тому

      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.

    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
