Get animating faster than ever with better puppet rigging, making it easier to apply behaviors, search through many layered puppet rigs, and tag puppets more quickly within your established workflows.
Mar 08, 2019 Example Puppets. Select any character to download its shareable puppet file. You can open these in Character Animator CC. Note: These will be updated to use the latest October 2017 features soon (new triggers, auto attach, etc.) Goldilocks: Dangle hair. Dojo Joe: Draggable hands. Character Animator enables expressive, high-quality performance-based animation. It's so fast, it can even be used live. Character Animator allows you to import artwork from Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator, and breathe life into them. You do so by first capturing your performance using a camera, microphone, keyboard, mouse, or touch screen.
Now a character’s jaw can automatically move in conjunction with their lip-synched, editable mouth visemes, for additional impact. You can also compute Nutcracker Jaw movement from scene audio.
Sensei has learned to produce better quality automatic lip sync, reducing the impact of noisy audio.
Improvements to Characterizer, including faster user interaction, three new styles, and better looking results.
Get started using Character Animator with two new in-app example puppets, which you can use as-is or as a foundation for your own designs.
To know more about these features, see Edit puppet structure and Prepare artwork.
With this update of Character Animator, the bottom of the character’s face can warp or move up and down in synch with the character’s speech. The Nutcracker Jaw behavior also has new parameters to control the extent of the movement.
For more information about the behavior, see Nutcracker Jaw: control the lower jaw with your face or voice.
This release intorduces two new puppets to the existing collection of in-app example puppets which you can use as-is or as a foundation for your own designs. For more puppets that you can use or build upon, see Charecter Animator Examples.
Powered by Sensei, experience better quality automatic lip-sync, reducing the impact of noisy audio. Additionaly, the Lip Sync behavior now can vertically offset a Jaw handle automatically based on the height of the current viseme, specifically the offset of the bottom edge of the viseme relative to the bottom edge of the Neutral mouth shape.
To know more, see Lip Sync: Control a puppet’s mouth with your voice.
Characterizer has been enhanced for faster user interaction and better looking results. Also, there are three new styles that you can apply to your character.
