Intro to Rigging (Adobe Character Animator)

Rigging in Adobe Character Animator is the process of adding special animation information to an imported PSD (Adobe Photoshop) or AI (Adobe Illustrator) file. In this tutorial, we’re going to walk through creating a character completely from scratch, learning how to set up your artwork and add things like tags, handles, behaviors, sticks, and more in Character Animator’s Rig mode. You can follow along and create your own character, and by the end you should have a customized creation ready for your next animated project! 0:00 Intro 1:13 Photoshop vs. Illustrator 3:35 Artwork File Setup 7:40 Making the Head 9:46 Making the Body 18:17 Importing Your Character 21:15 Rigging Basics 26:08 Arm Rigging 33:55 Eye Rigging 42:14 Customizing Behaviors 47:35 Mouth Rigging 1:04:39 Independence 1:07:23 Inverse Kinematics 1:13:00 Triggers 1:31:05 15 Basic Rigs Walkthrough Free 15 Basic Rigs project download at Related videos: Intro to Character Animator: Walking: Head Turns & Parallax: Body Tracking: Triggers: Creating Lip Sync Mouths: Physics: Basic Eye Rigging: Replays: Download Character Animator: Get free puppets: (official adobe puppets) / (okay samurai puppet pack) Check out the official forums: Share your creations on social media with #CharacterAnimator!
