My business is construction, but this kind of art is super interesting to me. Thanks for the very useful video.

There is always something wrong with my rigging whenever I try to make a puppet...thanks for making my work a lot easier🙏🙏🙏

I just tried this ... and I had a bunch of issues lol this is really cool, have to play with it more and see how deep it can look into the puppets!

Thank you so much !! Your advice worked

Man your videos are precious.

Hello. Sometimes it’s very annoying and confusing, and have to start all over again . This would make it easier 🤗

Hi there, thanks a lot for great tutorials. Just a quick question, in Adobe Character Animator, is there a way to animate both left and right arms together in same time like mirror effect? Like I would like to lift up both arms together same time during the record.

Nice! This is brilliant

This saved me from going down insanity road

Hi I just stumbled upon these videos and really love your stuff. To use Adobe Character animator would I have to buy a subscription to the adobe creative cloud?

Thanks!!!

Thank u!

Hey, I love your videos! I have just learnt to use adobe character with your videos this past week and it's incredible. I am having an issue though. I have just recorded a character and it has a very subtle shake to it. I don't want to re-record the take because it was a pretty perfect take. Is there a way to remove this shake after the record? And why has this happened?

Hey, i was watching your tutorial on using a existing puppet take it into illustrator and change it to my liking, everything was working fine until i decided to change the name in illustrator. BAM! My rig just got messed up, and facing all sorts of weird issues, like when i go into recording mode my head is almost leaving the body behind not following properly, i decided to check the previous rig settings such as which parts are INDEPENDENT, still no luck, it behaves weird, i still have the previous puppet template below my puppet, when i change it to the template puppet everything is fine but my modified one seems to act weird. I wish they fixed this issue. any help? I dont want to remake the characters face again in illustrator it was long.

Do you have tutorial sir in mouth? Because may puppet didn't show my replacement mouth i create my own mouth but its not working

Can you make a video explaining the elbow threshold? I’ve noticed that when bending the arm for different poses, the elbow will sometimes bend in a way that does not look good, and I have to set the keystones in different positions on the threshold for each different triggers that I create I assume do you want to place a hold key frame Keystone in the trigger to make sure that animation looks correct, but it doesn’t seem to work when I have different animations at different threshold‘s because they seem to overlap each other. Is there a workflow that you can provide that would make this easier for me?

Good Afternoon :) I have an little issue that hopefully is something very simple to correct. I have created a puppet, aligned the anchor points, set parenting. I was able to manually select the nodes and they would turn green, however, now when I click and drag the default rig on top of my puppet , the rig window pops up like normal but once i select the initial node and click on my puppets hip anchor point, The rig window disappears like I closed it and the magnifying glass turns into the cursor. If you have any tips, please let me know. My project is soo close, yet so far... help please!

Hello first time viewer, my animation teacher suggested your page. Ran into a problem i have no idea why its happenin. As im tryin to record, the right side of my face (left side of puppet) is either strecthin as i pull away or squishin as i get closer. Any suggestions?

Hi! I was wondering if you could help me with an issue i'm having, but first of all i want to give a big THANKS YOU for all the amazing videos you share. I'm having a problem with a puppet i created and the Arm Ik doesn't detect the handles that i add. But i think that it must be a problem with the "body" because when i select it, its contour doesn't turn to green (i have a similar puppet and it works fine and the contour turn to green and also when i select the sleeve handle, for example, it point also have a green contour -in the new puppet it doesn't happen either). Update: I import it again and the green contour issue it's solved, but not the one of the ArmIK, one thing that i noticed is that in the place where the number of 'handlers' appear next to the name (body......Nro) in the body only appear a number 1. And only appear the number of handlers in each arm separated. If you know why could it be i would really appreciate the answer. Thanks from Argentina and keep teaching us please!

Hi, whenever I import a character, its head is squishy, I made most of the parameters independent, like eyes and eyebrows, yet I don't know which parameter is forcing my character's head to be squishy whenever I move my head around. Also, Should hair and colouring layers be merged with the Face background layer, or can I leave them separate?

Hello, there is a bug thats been anoying me for a while, after i record the arm movements, in the preview they get inverted, i cant find a way to fix it, it even renders inverted !

Hi @okaysamurai ! I am stuck on a problem and would love a little help. I recently got a new imac and am running CA2020 and am trying to open a puppet that was made on my previous computer running CA2019. When it opens the puppet looks like a set of barcodes, with each layer being its own barcode. Cant find an answer for how to fix this...

Hi Dave, any idea why a character's mouth shapes would get messed up after updating an unrelated part of the puppet art? I added to her legs, and now her mouth shapes have a weird little "bump" in the middle of all of them, like it's not calculating the mesh correctly, but I didn't touch her mouth. Any idea what I could do to fix this?

Thank you kindly!!! It's only 6 am lol. This is my first day and I CAN'T GO TO SLEEP lol

Thanks for this video it is very helpful. I just have one question, my character's head is moving but the face is not moving with it, it is not following the head, how can I fix it?

Great vid as always! I'm sure there's a way of doing this: I'm happy with how a puppet is currently moving/rigged; is there a way of copying the puppet in Character An. and Photoshop and retaining all of the rigging of the original puppet in Ch An. while at the same time being able to change the look/color/shape/etc of the new copied puppet in PS -while at the same time not changing the original puppet? Sorry if that didn't make sense. I know I can create a new puppet based on the PS art, but I'm not wanting to go through the process of rigging a new puppet in Ch An. -I can never quite get the same rigging set up for new puppets.

Hey Dave, what could be the cause of a character just dropping down with and without camera on

Hello! Hey, the arms of my character seems to react in slow motion to the draggers. I don't know why. I've been testing it with and without ArmIk behaviors but it does not seems to work. Any Help?¿

Hi, my puppet often seems to close its eyes for long periods. I record using camera capture, and my eyes are not closed. Do you know what would cause this? Also, when I load my puppet, the background size seems to be random (zoomed in too big about 50% of the time) and I always have to adjust it. Do you know why this would happen? Sorry for the newbie questions.

I have an issue where my puppets eyes are overlapping each other. ie the blink or worried eyes always have my neutral eyes overlapping. Any idea what’s happening here?

Hello my friend how do I stop the head mesh from being and entire body mesh and vice versa?...they are both showing as one? Thanks

my characters head is kind of seperated when walking. only the mounth is moving but other parts of by head is not moving correctly when walking. How do you think i can fix that?

Hi! I'm having a problem where the walk behaviour is not available in the drop-down menu and the fix rigging issues icon isn't showing up. I have a Standing, Right PRofile and Left Profile groups with head and body and the body has +right leg, +left leg, +left arm, +right arm groups with hands/feet in them and a Torso group. Care to help?

Hey, i'm learning to do rigging and stuff... But, i was wondering if u could help me. The body doesn't shows but it's there, i checked the layers and i set up according to a puppet i downloaded for having a reference, i don't know what to do or if I'm missing something :(

The text in panels are often out of focus. This makes it difficult to follow what you are doing. Also, The tiny size of your cursor and the speed with which you move and clck makes it difficult to follow. A highlighted cursor might help

Hello, I have not been able to get the legs to move with the body tracking, it already has the joints, however they do not move, what could be missing so that I can apply the tracker correctly? Thank you

Hi my mouth movements stopped working and in the rigging issues it saying: layer tagged as L is not being used by any behaviors. My mouth was working but for some reason it doesnt anymore.

I was really hoping this tool would help me but it found no issues... My character's arm art is deforming wildly between the upper arm stick and the shoulder handle when I move the arm dragger. This doesn't seem to happen on example puppets with the exact same arm structure (the art seems to blend nicely between the shoulder handle and the stick on the example puppets). What might I be doing wrong? I noticed there's no yellow outline around my arm art when I click the arm layer, and I'm not sure why that's happening, or whether it's related to this issue. Any ideas?

Hey my charecter is not imitating me well i mean my pupil .may be it is because of my glasses but I cant work without them is there any way to do it manually with mouse and keyboard

Greetings! I've recorded a take using the dragger. But when I disengage it to do a new take with other controls, the body parts separate in space. Any ideas? Thanks

having an issue where the transform , scale function has no effect on my puppet.

I have a very strange issue. Whenever I add or change something in the photoshop, all my position keyframes in my timeline are messed up. Like my puppet just shifts more down and to the right in general. Now when I fix the position keys and I change something again in my photoshop, like add a layer, and hit save, the same thing happens again! It just shifts. And I have to redo all the keyframes. How can this happen? What am I missing?

just wondering why after i import my puppet from photoshop to character animator his eyes is all messed up
