Intro To Adobe Character Animator

  • Adobe Character Animator is a fun and accessible way to create performance capture animated characters. If you've never used it before, this is a great place to start. We'll begin by setting up your webcam and microphone and bringing in a basic character to control. Then we'll show a few different ways to control them, including your face, voice, mouse, and even your full body movements. We'll then run through a tour of some of the primary panels in the app, like the Project and Triggers panels. Next we'll record a short animation and learn how to edit multiple performances together or make tweaks to takes in the timeline. Finally, we'll export out a video and learn how to bring our creations into other video software like Premiere Pro and After Effects.

    I've played with this software in the past and I've wanted to use it for a cartoon but I realized I had to just quit messing around and do some serious learning. I'm nearly in tears at how many features it has and I can't thank you enough for this tutorial! I can't wait to go through the rest of the playlist and starting making some new cartoons!

    Honestly, I've been an Adobe Suite subscribed forever, and I never knew this app existed. I can't tell you how amazed I am, and excited to use this. I have a play I wanted to do a test animation of, and have been dreading the amount of time it was going to take... using this app, I can see not only is it going to take a tiny fraction of the time/effort I imagined, but looks like it will be incredibly fun. If it works well, I have so many old scripts in my archives that I can bring to life.... thank you immeasurably.

    Love this series!! Just getting started but I'm blown away by how much this tool has evolved in the last 2 years! One question about calibration - if you need to wear glasses, should you take them off while that process is happening?

    • @okaysamurai
      @okaysamurai  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks! Many people on the team wear glasses and in general we find it should still work well as long as your face is well lit. If you notice any issues with pupil or eyeball tracking, you could try without to see if it improves anything, but in our practice this hasn't been a major issue thankfully!

    Hello Dave, Thank you so much for this video. I am from Nepal, quite interested in visal animation since my childhood. But because of the lack of proper learning institutions and other limitations, i can't learn good training. Please keep updating about visual animations. Thank you so much.

  • @allyncia
    @allyncia ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you, so much! This was truly everything to get started. I did find real time recording with my rodecaster as an audio interface workable yet, the sound still needs help even with my amazing shure and neuman mics. I need to figure out the best latency and I could not get the ASIO driver to work. Maybe I better just pre-record a track and then animate the character to that. Just as I labored through the process of rigging with Duik in AE, I see a lot of transfer of that experience to how I can custom create in Ai and Ps to import into Ch. Really, I just want to make my character animation with speech a bit faster for weekly fun posts and future work projects. I love all the videos and templates and puppets I'm finding too. This is amazing and thanks for how well these videos break down the set up. Once I get something posted, I will definitely tag Okay Samurai and Adobe Character. Back to it! I'll start simple as possible. I'm still newbie to animation since last year :). Thanks so much!!!

    You make it look so easy.
    Having just purchased CC to on my nice new computer I bought in order to use this software specifically - am literally tearing my hair out with frustration at trying to follow along. Maybe i’ll get there eventually but at the moment i want to throw things at the wall.

    • @okaysamurai
      @okaysamurai  ปีที่แล้ว

      What part(s) are you stuck on?

    • @NekonataVirino
      @NekonataVirino ปีที่แล้ว

      @@okaysamurai I think what’s got me is because I have ADHD etc I get kind of literal about following and about what I see or don’t see, so when you open your version you see things like puppet maker on the home screen whereas I don’t and i don’t know where to find it (hunting around on drop down menus is not intuitive when you expect a big area) and it totally throws me, - maybe because i am neuro-divergent or maybe just because i am old and slow.
      it takes me about five or six goes of trying to copy exactly what you do to try (and some screaming that this doesn’t work) to eventually get the same effect. I know this is a long tutorial but it’s kind of going to fast to watch then follow. I keep missing the throwaway lines that something is different on PC than on a Mac.I’ve got the tutorial playing on my iPad and the computer set up in front of me as I tried to follow along, and literally I kind of need to stop the video every 15 to 20 seconds but that’s almost impossible so I keep watching and re-watching in two minute chunks and eventually I kind of get there but it is so hit and miss that it’s doing my head in. I get the wrong button to click or when i try to drag something it doesn’t drop on the right place, or the double click is in the wrong place and nothing happens because i need to be in a different space about three millimeters over on the screen or something - and on and on.
      I’m going to try to persevere for a bit longer to see if I can echo what you’re doing but if not and i can pin down exactly where my specific point of failure in an action is I will definitely get back to you.
      (I still think your stuff is awesome)

    • @okaysamurai
      @okaysamurai  ปีที่แล้ว
