Summary

As stated previously, Character Animator is a robust piece of software with lots of ways to tackle the animation process. There is no right or wrong in choosing your path. So long as you’re making progress and taking advantage of features that suit you, that’s what counts. But with everything you’ve learned in this book, it’s good to know you can quickly produce puppets with Puppet Maker, control puppet bodies with your camera, and even set up a stream-friendly environment. And with Adobe updating Character Animator regularly, there’s always something new to look forward to and explore.

Above all else, have fun with your productions. Don’t be afraid to put your complete self into it. The creative process can be an unwieldy ride, but those who see it through will find exceptional rewards, both personal and professional. Happy animating!
