We’ve designed this course not only for aspiring/professional animators but also for anyone who wants to use animation in their project, even if they never tried it before. Adobe Character Animator levels the playing field by letting you use your webcam and microphone to drive the character’s performance. No key-framing necessary. This is the EASIEST way to get started with animation, with groundbreaking technology that lets anyone become an animator.

Key Concepts
We'll start by understanding how Adobe Character Animator works. We'll go over the interface, and learn how layer names and tags work, as well as the triggers, physics, and custom behaviors.
Face Rig
We'll learn the process of rigging the character's face, including advanced eye techniques, mouth and lip-sync, jaw animation, head turns, and even create custom art styles for use with the Characterizer feature.
Body Rig
After finishing the facial rig, we'll cover the body mechanics. We'll learn how to create animation triggers for body actions, add a breathing behavior, set up a walk cycle, and use magnets to interact with objects.
Animating a Shot
We'll cover the entire process of creating a fully animated shot, through working in passes to record and adjust lip-sync, animate different parts of the body separately, changing backgrounds, adding particles, and exporting a finished scene.
Advanced Tips & Tricks
We dedicated an entire section of the course to go over some advanced techniques such as using a fader, rigging a 3D model, animating particles, adding an auto blink, adding wiggler effects, and creating parallax for the background.
5 Custom Rigs Included!
The course includes access to five fully designed character rigs, including the fish character from our animated short Tasteful. With these rigs, you can apply the techniques and principles taught within the course in a practical way.
Super detailed,
fast-paced.
We dislike long, drawn-out tutorials. We prefer bite-sized lessons with a clear, direct structure that gets straight to the point without losing important information.
