CHARACTER ANIMATOR FEATURES
Create expressive animation with facial motion capture.
Bring a cartoon character’s face to life with real-time facial motion capture and automatic lip sync using Adobe Character Animator.
Choose a preloaded puppet from the Character Animator home screen to explore facial motion capture. Then watch it come alive as you move.
Choose a simple character from the home screen and then edit their facial features. You can even copy and paste features from one character to another.
Line up the puppet’s face with yours during live video, using markerless facial capture. Speak into your computer mic and the puppet will lip sync in real time, or upload prerecorded audio for your puppet to mimic.
Choose what moves on your character and how, in tandem with the facial animation, using the capture system’s Physics tools to apply gravitational laws.
Select your puppet and go to Edit › Edit original to open your character in Photoshop or Illustrator. Changes you make there will automatically carry over into Character Animator.
Visit the home screen of Character Animate to explore animation production tutorials, exciting new features, and fun customizable characters.
