10 Advanced Rigging Tips (Adobe Character Animator Tutorial)

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/.

Correction: In the shadows section, you need to tag both Head groups (normal and shadow) as Frontal for it to work properly – not just the shadow group as shown in the video. Sorry about that.

This month starts with a great example of branding your Character Animator creations with Josh King’s Little Top, a 23-minute South Park style episode, a colorful promotion for a children’s building toy, and an interactive display with talking cartoon characters. Then we’ll answer a couple of mailbox questions about working around an auto-attach bug and making strokes move. Finally, we’ll show how adding extra behaviors like breathe and transform can give you a lot of additional control to your characters.

We kick the new year off with some amazing community examples – a live Twitch cartoon from Geek and Sundry, a live comedy art show from the Upright Citizen’s Brigade, an updated head-turning version of the frog pillow Hector, a broadcast-length cartoon with multiple characters, and expressive animations from a dragon and bird. Then we walk through the different ways to customize the controls panel trigger icons, including a secret way to get custom icons. After a quick time-lapse of making a raccoon puppet from scratch, we’ll finish up with fixing a broken puppet, touching on 5 places to look for issues and how to remedy them.
