Everything works on the latest version of after effects (24.6.4 as of writing) except for the actual character animator. I’m not sure if it is due to changes in track mattes or something but the ‘_Character Animations’ comp is a complete mess. It’s weird though because if you place the comp into another one it looks completely fine but opening it up to edit is a mess. I’ve managed to do some things like changing the eyes and mouths on a couple of animations and it worked as expected but making new animations as I had hoped to seems like it’s going to be more trouble than it’s worth.
I’ve attached an image link as an example: https://ibb.co/RGwcbX64
I’m not sure if the creator is still interested in updating this project but just thought any future customers should be aware of it’s current limitations.
After some further experimenting it seems that the Draft 3D feature was enable by default and was causing the issues I was experiencing. Disabling Draft 3D fixed everything.
Hi! Exactly, that’s the problem. For some reason, in the latest versions of AE, it seems to be enabled by default.
Hi, I’m so glad I bought a good toolkit, but when I run it, a link error pops up and the character can’t be implemented… I’ll attach a screenshot. Send me an email! my email address is (wittyshinks@gmail.com)
Hi! Just sent you an email.
Hi, Can i bring my own characters from vectors? Also can you release a demo with just 1 character to see if my system can handle this?
Thanks
Hi! You can adapt the characters to looks similar to yours. Take a look in these tutorials to understand better:
DESIGN and MOTION Character Kit Tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcZljcr_PIs7312prJoV77D2G1sCPY4RF
Right now I don’t have a demo version, sorry!
Thanks
Hi, do you plan to issue MOGRT version for Premiere Pro?
Hi! It’s something I’m studying, yes. Unfortunately it may take some time, as I will have to make a lot of adaptations.
can I use it on my YouTube channel for multiple story videos , or this license is only for 1 video upload ?
Hi! Yes you can use for multiple stories.
hi, i got error “Zrotation of layer 3 (‘L_Forearm_perspective) in comp ‘L_arm’” can you help me to solve it?
Hi! Can you share a screenshot?
sorry im not really understand how to share picture in this comment form, can i get you email address so i can email you?
You can use a service like wetransfer.com. You can also send a message via my profile, so I will be able to reach you via email.
Hello, I just bought this wonderful kit on Elements, and i’d like to know, how can i add the walk modular action move and keep the character in the center of the screen instead of having him move from one point to another ? Thank you !
Hi! In this case you can use the loops modules, not the cycles. Let me know if it works for you!
I bought a dispensation for the design and motion character kit.
The kit contained only caricatures.
I’d like to purchase an animation project from the preview video
Hi! Sorry, the promo video is not included. If you want, I can sent it to you, but it will not be so well organized as a template suposed to be, because it was just to my use. Please send me a message troght my profile.
I’d like to change the character design a little like the tutorial video included in the current kit.
Can I buy it?
Hi! Sorry, I didn’t understand exaclty what you need. You can customize your characters using Illustrator or directly in After Effects.
Hey. How do I edit the characters like making them tall, fat etc? Im having a hard time understanding the tutorial. Thank you!
Hi! You can use the numeric parameters in the character settings. Just turn off the automatic mode and play with the numbers. You will see the results in real time.
If it’s not working for you, my suggestion is use a character with the proportion that you want as reference, and make adjustments to it until you have the character that you want. You can copy and past parts of the other characters. You can do all this in illustrator or directly in After Effects using shape layers.
Let me know if it works for you!
Hi! Somehow the set it is not working for me – it is not possible to set up the character after i switched off the automatic setup, the animations are not running properly – like the character is not bending his knees (?) etc.
Could you give me a hint? I don`t know if it matters, but am also getting an expression errors by opening the project. Using the last version of AFX. Thank you in advance!
Hi! What’s your AE language? If it’s not English some errors will happen. I suggest you to change the language to use the script. It’s totally reversible, you can back you the original language when you want. See this tutorial: https://youtu.be/5rgrhXlUtm4
If it’s not the case, please, send me a screenshot shot, so I can understand it better.
Thank you!!
Hi! My original lang was DE, I reinstall the version on EN, now looking good, it works as it should. So far, so great! Thank you very much for the quick support!
Great! Let me know if you have any questions!
so problem #1 for me now is how to put my custom animation to the DESIGN and MOTION – CC2019 and above? so i can use the D&M_Transition between regular animation and custom.
Hi! The kit was made in a modular way. It means that if you start and stop your animation in a specific pose, it will fit with the others. The transition file is to create a special effect transition from a character to other.
You can use the DESIGN and MOTION – CC2019 and above file to create the animation, use the composition _character animations, all the other animations are there too. So you can pre compose your custom animation to it become a module too. Let me know if I was clear, or if you have any questions.
Thank you for buying.
is this compitable with Lottie SVG ?
Sorry, it’s not compatible right now.
I’m having trouble trying to have multiple characters. Will there be an update that will address issues with using multiple characters?
Hi! Please open a new clean file in After Effects, and do the following:
-Import the Design & Motion project into it. -Rename the comp “_Character Animations” to “_char1”. -Import the Design & Motion project into it again. -Rename the comp “_Character Animations” to “_char2”.
You may need to purge your memory (edit / purge / all memory and disk cache)
The next update will come with a project with 5 characters include. It will be available tomorrow.
Will give this a try. Thanks for the response!
Hello!
Pre-Sales question: Is it possible to FULLY change the character to a different .ai file character? My own character has different proportions and a different face… If yes, where do I find a tutorial to do so?
Thanks!
Hi! I wasn’t able to answer you before, and now I see that you already bought it, sorry for that!
About your question, you always will need to use the template guide to create a new character, and it have some structural limitations.
My suggestion is find the most similar character from the kit to the one you want to create and adapt it.
Thank you for buying.
Hi, I simply drag and dropped a actions comp but the placement of the pants / dress for all the characters is incorrect.
Can you help?
This fixed it for me https://videohive.net/comments/24731871
I’m having problems with the characters, they are deformed. When I opened the project I had 127 expression errors
Hi!
There are two possible reasons. Or your AE are not in English, to fix it just change its language, it’s totally reversible. You can check out any Youtube vídeo, like this one: https://youtu.be/5rgrhXlUtm4
The other reason is for some reason your expressions engine is in JavaScript. To change this go to file/project property/expressions/ExtendScrpit Legacy.
Please let me know if it resolved your problem. Thank you for buying! Jack.
Hi! Pre-sale question. I wonder if it’s possible to control the width of the head. I need a “more human” format of the head for my project, not a perfect circle head.
Hi! The base is always a circle. Maybe with some accessories you can give the illusion of other format, like this: https://pin.it/2HKo6tt
If you’re an advanced user, you can change the head mask manually, but all the pre made characters will not work properly.
Thanks for your interest!
Hello, I downloaded this amazing kit from Envato Elements. I just have a quick question and I hope you can respond…When exporting the animation, how do I remove the outlines that are like grids around the chraracter’s head and torso? I’m not sure where to turn it off.
Hi! Can you send me a screenshot?
Thank you for the response! You can check the screenshot here. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cvmA5CHXnxy4SWjD0r1WvufuG18VnrXG/view?usp=sharing
I’m pretty sure it’s just easy to disable…I’m just not able to find the setting for it (AE newbie). Hope you can help. Thanks!
Great, I got it. Probably in the Illustrator file, the first layer should be hidden. These guides are only to help you draw the textures. If you are drawn directly in After Effects, you can check if these guides can be disabled at comp character texture.
Thank you! It worked great!
2DeadFrog! I love this project what a great purchase 10x worth the money. I hope you add auto lip-sync in the up-coming update and keep this project alive.
Thank you for this wonderful message! I have some plains to keep it alive. I will study a solution for the lip-sync. Tnks for the feedback!
Hi, I really love your product. I’ve do research & learn about your product from around the net.
Question: Do you have any plan to update or add more character & animation template? Thank you.
Hello there! I have some plans, but I don’t have a deadline to complete yet. I plan to release more thematic packs, like I made for soccer and Christmas. Character and Animations pack like Office, Vacation, Sports, etc.
