Building A Puppet From Scratch (Adobe Character Animator Tutorial)

Note: This is an older tutorial and many features have changed as Character Animator is still in Beta. A more comprehensive and updated tutorial can be found here: https://youtu.be/_smLXODTd6U

Learn how to build a puppet in Photoshop from scratch and watch it come to life in Adobe Character Animator. This step-by-step guide shows how to create the head, eyes, nose, mouth, and body in a Photoshop PSD, and how to customize everything to get the quality of animation that you want. You’ll learn about when and why to mark something as “warp independently,” how head tracking and auto lip sync works, and why dragger and stick handles help you make bendable arms. You can follow these steps to make your own animated characters, or download the free example files to see how several complex characters were made.

OkaySamurai - 0
Want to add some extra life & emotion to your creations in Adobe Character Animator CC? Check out these 10 advanced rigging tips, from using invisible eyeballs for more constrained eye movement to hooking up multiple parts to a MIDI-controlled dial. Hopefully there are at least a couple of ideas here to help take your puppets to the next level. The character featured here, Almasol, is available for free at http://okaysamurai.com/puppets/.
