Question, do you need to have legs for a bodu turner behaviour? I have a character and I just want to have the upperbody/torso. I don't want to add legs but would like a body turner behaviour.

I use the body tracking feature to record character animations. However, when I turn on the body tracking, the camera becomes laggy, making the animated character's movements appear choppy and stiff. If I don't use body tracking, the camera works smoothly, but I can't capture detailed body movements. How can I enable body tracking and also ensure the camera runs smoothly to record fluid character animations?

Is it possible to keep the feet from dangling all over the place, as in stuck to the floor? I know you mentioned initial foot pinning but either on or off my character's feet are still dangling all over. Is there a way to keep the fit stuck to the floor while having body behaviour?

Hey! Is the unicorn full-body tracking? I can't get the legs to move, but have a feeling it is upper body only? Thanks!

Hi Dave! I just have a question, is it possible to record the tracking and use it with different characters?

It seems like you have different files(i.e. different scenes and rig files) just for the various views of the character. Do we have to make all separate files for the different views of our character before we can use body tracking? Can't we just use one photoshop/illustrator file with all the views in that file like the average character has?

Thank you for everything Okay Samurai. Thanks to you, I started making my childhood dream animated series! respect and love.😍😎

Thank you Trainer, its long since i started following you am now better but still following you. i went off from your lessons but am back i never had the born tool. but i now have it. its working

body tracking not showing character animator 2021 version

hi sir
in 2023 it is not showing body tracking

How do you get the hands to work correctly in body tracking.? Or is that auto swap?

I'm doing a project for a class, I followed your awesome video on how to take a basic character and make it personalized. I went through the whole process, only to find out at the end it wasn't set up to be body track. Is there a video that could tell me how to set up body tracking for the basic character since I went through all the work already to make my character?

I appreciate the time and effort to try to help people with Body Tracking. However, as with most training videos, when I duplicate the steps provided in the video, I do not get the same results. All of the puppets I use, whether provided by Adobe or an outside source, have arms that do NOT hang straight down at their sides. They look okay when Character Animator is not in "Record" mode. But the instant I click the Record button, 100% of the puppets I am trying to use move their elbows up so that their arms look like an upside-down horseshoe. Character Animator has been an incredibly aggravating tool to learn. After four months of using it, I spend at least half my time troubleshooting, instead of working on my deliverables.

Hi, how to add 4 or more character at same scene

is there a way to manually input body, eyes or head tracking instead of recording it with the camera? my puppet will sway back and forth and move his eyes when my head moves, but soon as it tries to transition to the next take, its not smooth. The graphic jumps.

Thank you for the amazing video, I recently got the software but mine doesn’t have the body tracker… I’m using the 2020 version and it only has the camera and audio option

Nice ch, but which camera can I use To make the body tracking, and can I use with more character example like Tom and Jerry photos to make them move behavior?

okay so what do you do if your camera is not capable to capture your body?

Still can't get full nody tracking to work. I've tried everything.

Can u use your own face

These are must have tutorials. Very engaging, very informative, yet oddly very easy to follow. Learnt all I know about CA from Dave's tutorials. Brilliant 👍

I wonder if there is a way to link the already rigged motion library character to our own character so that the motion library controls it without having to rig the our own characters ourselves. Is that possible?

What computer spec would you recommend for body tracking? 🧑‍💻

This is perfection 😢🎉❤

I bought character animator but I can’t make my character move

my software is adobe animate 2018. but i can't enabale body traking option

I love this 😍

Hello, may I ask why I moved the arm strokes to the body selection but it didn't turn yellow to green? Why?

Love your tuts and detailed information - really great stuff!

In the vid you mentioned the 'Scaling' on the your head as you lean into change settings from your full body capture. This scaling triggered a thought and Im curious how you would approach it.

Can I stretch or squash a puppet. For example if they reached up to take something from a high shelf how do you stretch their arm and body for better effect. In body tracking for example they would reach up to the shelf but not extend (stretch) their limps/body. Or if I jumped up and come down they puppet wont exhibit any stretch or squash, and on landing you may crouch etc but the puppet body would not compress or squash outward.
How would you mimic this in ACA. Im not looking for a perfect solution - perhaps none currently exists in the software - but wondering what tips/tricks you'd use to give a similar effect or appearance for the purpose of speed of execution. I'm not sure how to go about it or if its even practically possible.
What are the your thoughts on this or resources. Perhaps its a video-worthy idea. Cheers :)

It's been about 5-6 years since I last used Character animator, this is a feature that I've been waiting for!

Thanks a lot buddy , I was searching for how we can easily make animated videos without fully making animations manually , I really like the way you explain the things 👍

i love you

You took the words right outta my mouth.

Exactly what I needed and was looking for! Thanks!!

I took two months to learn Adobe After Effects and Premier Pro. Now I am learning soft soft to make soft so I can have more verity

does 2021 version have this future??

Love this. Is there a robot starter file that has both 1/4 2.5d views and body tracking?

Thank you so much for the great tutorial!💐

bro you genius work thx

I can't see the body tracing icon , all i have is the mic and camera icon?

thanks 👍

My body tracking icon is not showing please show me how to fix this!

No body behaviour in my adobe character.. What can i do? Please help me and reply

Your style of teaching is great! Thank you So much!

Thanks for your amazing tutorials.Please what version of Adobe animator supports body tracking? Mine is 2020

i cant find the body tracker icon. only mic and cam icons are showing. please help me, thanks

I suggest Adobe launch a free Character Animator App which allows people to do this on their phone (i mean performance mode only) .... so I could use my own character to do live streaming !!!!
