Book Description
Adobe Character Animator is a power app for non-animators that provides easy rigging and easy-to- understand tools that enable you to create entertainment or business videos in no time.
This guide to Character Animator gives you a comprehensive overview of the app, helping you learn the entire process-from importing a character designed in Adobe Photoshop to animating a sequence. Complete with background art, multiple character rigs and Character Animator project files, this book will show you how to animate a scene in Character Animator from start to finish.
Starting with a character PSD from another artist, you'll organize and condense the file to prepare it for rigging and animation.

By the end of this book, you'll be able to create appealing animations in Character Animator for any purpose.
