How to Animate an Object in Adobe Character Animator CC 2023

If you're looking to add a touch of creativity to your animations, Adobe Character Animator CC 2023 offers a fun and engaging way to bring objects to life. In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to animate an object, such as an orange or any other item, using Adobe Character Animator.

Download and Prepare Your Object

  1. Begin by acquiring a 3D object that you'd like to animate. For instance, if you reside in Florida, like me, you could download a 3D orange model from sources like Mavado Elements.

  2. Ensure that your chosen object is suitable for animation, allowing you to add eyes and a face convincingly.

Setting Up Adobe Character Animator

  1. Launch Adobe Character Animator on your device.

  2. Navigate to the "Home" tab within the software.

  3. Look for the "Chad" puppet and download it. I recommend using the Photoshop version for ease of customization and editing.

  4. Locate the Chad puppet in the project bin, right-click on it, and select "Edit Original." Alternatively, you can use the shortcut Command + E to open the puppet in Photoshop.

Customize Your Object in Photoshop

  1. In Photoshop, replace the face background with the image of the orange or your chosen object. Ensure that the new face aligns correctly with the puppet's features.

  2. Once you've completed the modifications in Photoshop, save the file by heading to "File" > "Save" or by using the shortcut Command + S (on Mac) or Ctrl + S (on Windows).

Bringing Your Object to Life

  1. After saving your changes in Photoshop, switch back to Adobe Character Animator. Your puppet will automatically update with the new visuals that you've implemented.

  2. You are now ready to animate your object. Explore the various controls and features within Character Animator to make your object come to life through movements and expressions.

Now, with these simple steps, you can control and animate your object in Adobe Character Animator. Whether it's a playful orange or any other item, let your creativity shine through in your animations just like Mike Murphy controlling his cheerful orange character.

Add a touch of creativity to your animations by following these steps to animate any object in Adobe Character Animator CC 2023. Let your imagination run wild with the endless possibilities of object animation.
