CHARACTER ANIMATOR FEATURES
Turn yourself into a cartoon with motion capture.
Start animating with Adobe Character Animator motion capture technology. Create a virtual avatar that walks, talks, and mimics your facial expressions in real time.
Start by sitting in front of your camera with your head centered in the frame. Character Animator will assign tracking points to your face.
Character Animator comes preloaded with a variety of colorful characters called puppets. Choose one and get rolling.
Character Animator puppets are fully customizable. Fine-tune your character or create your own in Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop.
With machine learning, Character Animator tracks your jaw, eyes, ears, and pupils. Move your head and your puppet will too. Talk into your mic and the puppet will lip sync in real time or even mimic recorded audio.
Tag a puppet’s hips, knees, and other joint angles. With those points in place, an animation rig can add human movement onto your puppet.
Control how a digital character’s hair, clothes, and accessories respond to the laws of physics. Character Animator lets you play with gravity, wind, and add other VFX.
Integrate seamlessly with other Creative Cloud apps to bring assets from Illustrator or Photoshop right into Character Animator. Create backgrounds, props, and more for your characters to interact with.
