To get the most out of this book

It’s recommended you purchase a copy of Adobe Character Animator under a Pro license. This app is also included under the Adobe Creative Cloud subscription plan. We will also be using other apps within the Adobe Creative Cloud to help produce our animation. While you don’t need these apps to work with Character Animator, it is highly recommended for an optimal learning and production experience.

Software/hardware covered in the book	Operating system requirements
Character Animator v23.0	Windows or macOS
Photoshop v24.0	Windows or macOS

Be sure to have a webcam and microphone plugged into your computer, as this is the primary way we will be interacting with Character Animator. It’s also recommended you have nice even lighting to get the best results. If you plan to do a full-body motion, be sure to have plenty of room.
