Unrelated to this video but i have to say it. What you do here is amazing and i hope people at adobe take notice of this. Because AE and PR users feel absolutely left alone and not supported at all. Seeing that here is a tool with its own "representative" producing content, answering questions, taking notes and feature requests, discusses upcoming features and statuses is an amazing thing.

This is the most game changing thing ever. Along with triggered swap sets, I already have a 3d puppet that I want to try to implement with this. Also this actually makes fight scenes possible. Thanks for the tip about creating a new dragging layer option for errors as well.

it's almost always you coming out with one of these videos describing an exciting new feature that gives me all kinds of inspiration for a new animation...

[DesignDojo]

Thanks for the plug and opportunity, Dave! Creating "Armando" was a super-fun challenge. Hope he comes in "handy" for folks out there :)

[TerriFonicDigital]

You guys are "off the chain". You never cease to amaze me. The creativity is extreme and I really admire the work you all do to help us improve our craft.

Many thanks to you for the awesome video as well as the creative engineers. Be safe and well.

I’m in the middle of creating a ‘historic documentary’ using Character Animator. I’m turning the historical people into puppets. It’ll take a couple of weeks more to finish, but it’s coming out great!!!

Hey,
Can you make a tutorial on complete rigging of body tracking from absolutely scratch? (On a completely unrigged puppet)
That'd be really really helpful!

[jhappysemall]

It's crazy. I went back and forth with this tutorial. At first thinkin, "Yes, I need to watch this tutorial to get my V for Vendetta's puppet's cape to follow along my Right Arm when I lift it. But I second guesses my instinct. Turned out... YES!!! This is exactly the video I needed to watch to get the puppeteering to act right. THANKS DAVE, YOU DA MAN!!!

It keeps getting better and better and better, maybe in the future it will evolve to a somewhat 3d version which everyone can use even without a 3d animation background, amazing dedication and software

Man, I love how innovative this team is to continue developing such cool features. People are making some great looking cartoons, and it's all thanks to the work being put into this software. I love that I can make cartoons without needing complicated tools or frame by frame

[callousrascal]

i love what you do...and right now I feel like I'm 10 years behind you in experience but man how well can someone actually explain something so perfectly? I really appreciate what you do sir. I hope I would creat something truly profound to impress the world.

Love these new features. Would LOVE to see Character Animator available on an M1 iPad Pro … the ability to hand draw characters and scenes and quickly bring those into Character Animator .. and to be able to utilize the Apple Pencil.

Now we need a two or three person talk show setup discussing sports at the same time. That would be epic and funny.

[OneWingedErin]

This combined with body tracking will be a game changer with speeding up animation workflows! No more recording voice lines and head first and then doing a second or third take for just triggers and draggables!

[bariseroglu]

Makes our work easier and easier, and also gives us more space for our creativity. Thanks a lot, Dave and other team members.

[TimeTech]

this software never ceases to amaze me

[dungeondelves]

Incredible!! I've been wanting this sort of thing to be implimented for ages and I cannot wait to play! It's SO COOL, thank you!!

[SirWade]

Ooooh I love this! What an awesome feature :D

what i think CH really needs is about 10 base body characters where we users can just change colors body clothing and fully be able to customize the characters ourselves with few clicks. Make it more user-friendly.I know new update has a costomizable user friendly mode, but it needs to be incorporated to main CH( very good start) Dont get me wrong creating from scratch is great, but not many are trying to dig around and create layers, tag them, etc. in any case Thanks Dave this is still huge improvement

[oskararnarson]

Been waiting since you teased this and boy oh boy, you did not disappoint. This is the holy grail. Amazing! Great job! Thank you!
