" Fluid / Liquid" behavior. Why not do it?
Why not do a "Fluid " behavior for Character animator?
You already have the "particle" behavior, and all you got to do is make it fluid.
Think about:
Pouring a cup of water.
Water running through a path.
Or.. Water being pumped up and down pipes and through valves to push actuators such as hydraulic cylinders and motors... That is the stuff that I am working right now with Character animator.
Maybe industrial hydraulic circuits may sound too intimidating for some, but just the animation of fluid running through pipes may not be too hard to do... you could even…

fluid 360 head and body turns on y-axis
Hi
I am still learning, so I apologise in advance if this is already possible.
Is there a way to create more fluid head and body turns, a bit like what can be achieved using https://aescripts.com/joysticks-n-sliders/?
Currently the solution seems to be to make more layers in Photoshop/Illustrator in-between similar to
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bA8_R6kRgj8 This is as far as I have gotten https://sagesoftware.box.com/s/jsqxyuvp2n6cm3mnd5dl92u5ymq0nrpxIs it also possible to do a full 360 rotation of body on Y-axis? I assume there will also need to be rigging layer flips/re-ordering to achieve this?
Thanks

Allow keyframing using draggers
The workaround for keyframes (using the transform behavior) being used in draggers is good. The problem I run into is now both objects marked (like the elbows) are rotating using the transform tool (because ARM IK is set at the body level). Posing arms would be a lot easier with the ability to set keyframes for arms or wherever draggers are.

Swap Set / Layer Picker flow between intermediaries
Please enable a feature on layer picker or swap sets where it works just like a swap set, but it also plays the layers between each trigger to arrive at the new held frame.
So if I had a group with 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 in it, If I pressed 5, it would play 1,2,3,4,5 and hold on 5 (if latched for example) then if I hit 7, it would play 6,7 and hold on 7. Then if I hit 2, it would play 6,5,4,3,2 and hold on 2 etc.
If there was a default layer, then if a trigger wasn’t latched it…

Being able to copy ALL parameters from one puppet and apply it to another
It would be great if you could copy and paste all rigging and other parameters from one puppet to another. Say you're creating minions, each slightly different looking from the others, but largely the same. Hours could be saved if you didn't have to rig each.
And if there were then a couple of issues that needed to be adjusted due to the unique properties of one (say he's only got one eye), that would still be much quicker.

Live scoreboard number counter
Use CA as a interactive quiz/scoreboard. I would like a better way to add numbers and add the desired number increments to allow for live scoring.
Using a shortcut/number input box the counter will change or plus button to add to the score. I can then set this up via a trigger so I can overlay the animation on top.

Introduce a shy (like in AE) option in the timeline layer stack to focus on specific layers.
In some cases it would be nice to be able to work on just one visible layer in the timeline. A shy option like in After Effects would help you decide what layers should be active in a certain moment.

Viseme Pop-Up Menu Visual
When you right click on a viseme in the timeline you get a menu which shows a list of phoneme option. It would be nice to have the specific mouth shape next to each phoneme. See attached.

This would be nice to have like an easy thing, so you could make like thoughts bobbles over characters when they not going to talk, like things that are in comics sometimes when one character speaks and the other one thinks when the character speaks. :)

Full screen mode
This would be nice for screening your character in a show on a projector or a tv that you have hooked up the program to. Where you don't see the record buttons. For preforming live without streaming. It could be used then easy for live shows on school without having to get it up in another program. I did my exam in this way, having my computer atached to a tv screen with HDMI from computer, then midi controlling everything from one drum mashin and to other midi devices. But it was sad that i couldent get the full screen,…

Viseme order when pasting into AE
The information available on how to do this is, at best, incomplete and at worst, wrong.
Referring to the page here: https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/adobe-character-animator/using/export.html#LipSyncTakeexportforAfterEffects
Step #2 says to create a comp with the visemes "matching the order of visemes in Character Animator’s Visemes context menu" and gives an example of the order being Neutral, Aa, D "and so on".
The problem is that in Character Animator (current version 2.11) the viseme order in the context menu is different. See screenshot.Just to complicate things, the layer order of the visemes in the default head PSD is different again.
So… which is the…

Adjustable frame rate for Face behavior
It would be great if there was an option to adjust the frame rate of just the Face behavior at any time. I like the look of head movements when I change my scene frame rate to 12fps, but all body movements are too jittery for what I'm doing. Enabling the "Limit Camera to 12fps" option doesn't produce the same visual results as changing the scene frame rate, nor is it flexible since it can only be set before starting a recording.

I would like to see more templates with various mouths types (preferable in Adobe Illustrator)
I would like to see more mouth shapes being available. The mouth shape used is already the same since the start of Adobe Character

Dangle lags / stutters / jitters
I have back hair that is independent. Suddenly it started to stutter. I tried to re-rig the puppet and suddenly it started again. It looks like this: [https://community.adobe.com/legacyfs/online/1663494_Dangle%20Capture.gif]
The stutter is only visible if I move my head slowly. If I hold my head still and then move it fast to another location and then hold still, the jitter is not noticeable.Win10 64, GTX1080Ti, Ryzen 7 1700

1 voteJust curious… is this in Version 3.3? There were some jittery issues addressed in recent versions, so curious if this is something in the latest version.
Thanks.
