Man! You are cool! The best video about making puppets and control them!!! You are the best tutor of that! +++++ Subscribed to your channel! Thanks a lot!
30 mins in and I gotta say, this tutorial is fantastic. Everything is clear and concise, easy to follow and actually fun. I cannot tell you how many tutorials will put me to sleep 10 mins in. Okay Samurai is the best, arigato sensei.
You could not have been clearer in explaining the step by step process for beginners into how to use Character Animator, fantastic! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this, it was so easy to follow and clear. I'll be binging your other videos now!
This video made me restore the faith I lost in my own computer skills. You’re a great teacher for achieving that, it’s the first video of this length that kept me interested until the very last second! Now I’m confident that I can make an animation video of and for our band playing a Christmas song
I love it; thank you so much!!! A year later, this is still super helpful. I've rigged my character in this video using your tutorial. Still got some fine tuning to finish, but it's SO MUCH BETTER than my previous ones!
"Thank you so much for your amazing teaching! Your explanations are always clear, engaging, and easy to understand. You've made learning so much fun and accessible. I appreciate the time and effort you put into creating these videos. Keep up the fantastic work-you're making a huge difference for so many of us!"
it was impossible for me to get started with animation but after watching your videos I am so confident and able to make my own animation, thank you very much.
Lo estoy viendo... No he podido encontrar un tutorial más completo que este de adobe animate, es extenso y a la vez breve para todo el conenido que abarca...Increible. Gracias!!!
Damn, knowing Adobe Illustrator since day 1 saved me a lot of time. All I need to master are the process on how to transfer these into Animate smoothly and rig it! Thank you so much.
I never comment on RUclips videos but I have to say your tutorials are extremely well done. I have to go rig up a collection of characters now thanks for help!
You are such a great teacher!!! thanks to you I could do this I was getting overwhelmed and didn't want to start on a project that I had to do and thanks to you I made it!! thank youuu maaaan!!!! I subscribe !!!
How! How!! Just how can a human being be such a good teacher. I am not an animator but I am going to get this software and try my hands. Thank you so much
All of your tutorial videos have helped me with a goal of making classical Aesop's Fables come to life with animation. Animals have been tricky to animate but your videos have been instrumental in learning the program. Thank you Dave for all that you do and keep the awesome videos coming!
Check out sample characters in the app like Chloe. Typically you add a hand group inside your arm group with a bunch of different states and make a triggered swap set to move between them.
5 hours and 46 minutes later I finished it. Okay did take a few breaks. I believe 4 or 5 years from now I am going to be so good at this. Thanks for the lessons.
"Now NORMALLY we don't float in the air like this and pivot from our necks" 🤣🤣🤣 Amazing tutorials as always! Literally spent the better part of my weekend watching your videos.
Yessss!!! Finally rigging comes to CA! Been rigging and animating in after effects with a combo of CA alpha exports and rigging in AE with rubberhose! WOO!
That`s a really great tutorial, workflow explained in a very simple way, great tutor, I`ve just installed Adobe CH few hours ago, watched this and 1st tutorial and going for more!! Thanks mate!
I really appreciate the videos you make. Im an absolute beginner and almost gave it up, but thanks to this video i got a fresh start and it got me excited to learn much more! X
Wow! Wow! & Them some! You’re amazing in every way illustrating Adobe Character Animator. Thank you for presenting the first steps using this software (Best RUclips Video I Had seen so far) Well job done😎
Great course - thank you very much! I've installed this program several times, but could never get started and figure out the workflow, but now your videos are allowing me to do that. I use Vyond for client work, but CH allows me to do so much more, especially having the rest of the adobe suite. Vyond is pretty good for a web-based program, but I always have to bring it into PR and sometime do frame-by-frame animation to get the results I need. Seems like a waste to pay for it when I already have CH as part of my subscription. Cheers
I don't have anything exactly like this - if it were me, I would probably fake it with two puppets with only one arm rigged for walking and the other in a set position, and then place them side by side and have their arms overlap. If you need more help, 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.
@@okaysamurai I really appreciate you taking your time to answer this comment. You are super inspirational and also a talented teacher. I wish you all the best.
Hey Dave! Thanks for all of your videos. Super helpful. We have rigged a few characters with body tracking, but the characters arms are glitchy/twitchy. When working to adjust the sensitivity, the rigging causes the arms to pop up at like 45 degrees at a resting position. Have you seen this or heard of it? Any suggestions possibly?
With any body tracking character I do, I have to do a lot of adjustments in the Limb IK and Body parameters. If the arms are looking weird in a resting position (45 degrees instead of to your sides), usually adjusting calibration (we recommend starting in an A position when calibrating, but you can try other poses and see if they work any better) or which body handles are tracked helps to fix it. We have also internally discussed about wanting to add a "smoothness" parameter to body tracking to ideally smooth some of the twitchiness out of it. Hope that helps...If the problem persists, please upload a video to the official forums at adobe.com/go/chfeedback so we can take a closer look.
Thanks a lot for the vid! I've been learning a lot with it, I'm watching it slowly as I work step-by-step. I'm finishing my first puppet but I still have troubles as I don't want my girl to be Elastigirl, LOL... her limbs stretch a lot and I don´t know how to prevent it. But well, I'll keep researching and watching your videos. Thanks for the help and the learning I'm obtaining :)
This is the best Puppet production tutorial I have ever seen.
If no one learns even after watching this video, they can never learn.
You are a great teacher
TOTALY AGREE ,best teacher ever
Is there a National award for amazing teachers? Because you deserve it and a raise✨💯👍🏽

Everytime I forget how to use character animator, I go to this video right here to get me started after I create the asset. Works every time.

Thanks for doing this. I used to do a lot of Adobe Character Animator a few years ago. This was a great refresher.
I love your teaching style. Others have gone too fast and I wasn't able to retain much of anything. Thanks for sharing this!

Wow.. would you be sharing your channel? I want to see them. This guy here has made me want to take my drawings to a new level.. ANIMATION!
One of the best youtubers ever! Dave, respect!
How do you structure Hands triggers using Photoshop with the layers?
Check out sample characters in the app like Chloe. Typically you add a hand group inside your arm group with a bunch of different states and make a triggered swap set to move between them.
You're the man!!! @@okaysamurai
This is an amazing overview. Love that you also shared all those types of puppets at the end.
5 hours and 46 minutes later I finished it. Okay did take a few breaks. I believe 4 or 5 years from now I am going to be so good at this. Thanks for the lessons.

thank you very much for the lesson. Its very useful and easy to understand.
Huge thanks to you for your dedication. May I know if there's any tutorials on multiple character rigging? E.g. Two people holding hands walking...
