Truly amazing stuff! Is there a way or a plan to create your own custom motion for your library? I’ve been loving this software, bringing live characters into my twitch livestreams. As a professional game animator, I’m always thinking of characters in terms of state machines: looping cycles with different transitions between different cycles. Looping triggers and looping layer cycles would be huge for my workflow! Awesome stuff, big thanks for everything you do!

@okaysamurai Жыл бұрын

Awesome, just followed you on Twitch and shared with the CH team - fantastic work! There isn't currently a way to make custom motion library additions, you best bet are replays - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o8CZoqqAptqcgnk.html - but those also don't loop. That being said, you could conceivably make a swap set with a bunch of long replays filled with a repeated action - like a walk or dance or wave hello or whatever - and it would seem like they were looping (when in fact they were just playing long prerecorded animations). Hope that makes sense - just followed you on Twitter, DM me if you run into any issues.

Could you tag the origin of the body as the waist as well? Or do I have to create a new handle? And I always used to tag the origins of the arms and legs as shoulders and hip tags, but it still seemed to work when I used the walking behavior, is that different in motion library? Thanks for your videos I love them, this software is mindblowing 😅 sooo many possibilities ❤

@okaysamurai Жыл бұрын

From our developer Jun: "It may work in some situations but it's easier to tell users to avoid origin handles. Origin handles rigidly move everything under it, making the virtual ground plane remembered by Limb IK to move too. This causes foot sinking etc. This restriction is not new. Walk behavior has the same issue."

Awesome tutorial, thank you! One question. I'm doing my puppet maker puppet, and I'm having trouble getting the motion library to work with it. I'm using one that has arms and legs but I can't get it to read the motion library.

@okaysamurai Жыл бұрын

I don't believe any of the Puppet Maker puppets are set up for motion library, so it's very possible they don't have all the necessary components. I would walk through the rigging section here at kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kLqVqc52xsrXm58.html and make sure the character has all the correct behaviors and tags. If you try that and it still isn't working, please upload a screenshot, video, or your File > Export > Puppet file to the official forums at adobe.com/go/chfeedback so we can take a closer look.

I have a puppet that is used for some training content messaging. I sometimes change the color of the clothing to refresh it every so often. Is it possible to basically copy all triggers and behaviours from one puppet to the other? They are identical apart from the colors but I have to manually do everything each time I bring the new puppet in.

Yes, if it's the exact same dimensions and hierarchy - just select the puppet in the project panel, click the blue link in the right properties - and select your new file.

Remarkable achievement. Tech and creative commitment meeting in an amazing way! I'm not sure how I will be using it but I look forward to trying. Someone here said "Game changer" and it's true. I do have a question that's in the new zone of all you're doing. The puppet maker feature (where we customize an Adobe puppet using your choices), is it still being worked on to apply to a puppet of our own original making? That feature I already know how I'd use. Curious. Thanks and bravo!

Hello Samurai! I was just rigging some characters and noticed I do a lot of repetition with replays. And I wondered…. Is there a way of saving replays so that it can be used for multiple characters? For instance… maybe we could create a motion of some sort and then save it into the motion library for the next project?

@okaysamurai 27 күн бұрын

Sadly no. The rigging info is very particular to each character and handles don't translate when they're in different hierarchies / positions. I do this with my characters too, and unfortunately it's just something you gotta do as part of the process. It would be awesome if one day we could be more like the generalized treatment that Motion Library uses.

Character Animator will only look for one person in the webcam and one audio signal in the audio. However, you can either a) use 2 computers and connect them via a livestream in something like OBS (see kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZryRZsKWkprGe3k.html) or b) record them separately and composite them in something like After Effects or Premiere (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jM5zfqdm29KcZGw.html).

@MaschiTuts Жыл бұрын

this is great. Awesome stuff. One problem I am having though is that once the dance moves end and then when the character goes into the "normal" position again, the movement is never completely fluent. I know that I can smoothen this transition by dragging the clip from the right, so that it eases into the "regular" position. However, it seems that even if I do that, there is always some correction that takes place even when the smoothening process is over...so for example for the robot, the legs slightly change the position after the smoothening period (going back to the normal position) is over and this makes the character seem to be laggy. I am not sure if you understand what I mean. But I would love to know how I can make sure that after these animations my character will just go back to a normal position as smoothly as possible.

@okaysamurai Жыл бұрын

For my experiments, I tried to find an idle motion that was closer to my standing character's original position, and ended on that before transitioning back to normal. There might be some other tricks...I'm asking the team to see if they recommend anything and will respond back here if they do.

@MaschiTuts Жыл бұрын

Awesome. Thank you very much, Dave. In fact, I have already created a tutorial video on my channel using the robot and implemented some dance moves and stuff. In case you are interested to see it, here is the link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jqeoatOd18qbnIE.html Can't wait for future updates of you and Character Animator in general. I love that stuff. Best, Marcel.

@okaysamurai Жыл бұрын

Oh awesome, thanks for the support! I asked the dev and he said pretty much what I did: "I guess this somewhat depends on the definition of the “normal” position. If we are talking about the initial pose as in the rig mode, then there is no general solution because we have no control over how the initial poses are drawn. My general suggestion is to never “let go” but transition to one of the idle motions in the motion library, which is guaranteed to be natural idle poses with the foot placement close to the rest pose in Motion Library."

Our system requirements are here: helpx.adobe.com/adobe-character-animator/system-requirements.html. I would recommend more RAM for better performance - I'm using a Macbook Pro with 32gb of RAM and that helps a lot.

Hi, it is surprisingly good news though... it is not possible to apply motion library to some characters. I tried to apply motion library to the character called cecci from puppet maker, but it didn’t work. is there any solution for it???

@okaysamurai Жыл бұрын

You have to follow all the steps in the rigging section, and for prerigged characters you may need to remove certain parts (like fixed handles) to work properly. If the problem persists, please upload a screenshot, video, or your File > Export > Puppet file to the official forums at adobe.com/go/chfeedback so we can take a closer look.

Unfortunately most of the motion library parameters can't currently be keyframed.

Not exactly, but you can add the Motion Library behavior and select the same motion to make any character work this way.
