Hi everyone,

I recently installed Cartoon Animator 5 (Trial version 5.34) via Reallusion Hub, but I'm having an issue applying motions to my character.

When I try to apply motion, I get a Failed to load animation data error. Looking at my Content Manager, the 'Animation' folder is completely missing under All (I only see Actor, Accessory, and My Collections).

I tried checking Reallusion Hub, but under "Add-ons for Cartoon Animator 5" I only see plugins (like Face Mocap, Rokoko, etc.) and no basic Resource/Motion Pack installer. My Registration/Order History page on the website also shows "No data found."

Has anyone experienced this on a fresh Trial install? How can I manually download or sync the default G3 motion resources so the Animation folder shows up?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

like im talking about the mouth and hands etc. so i can make anims

I've been creating my own animated series using Character Animator and wanted to share. As always, open to any thoughts or feedback you may have. Hope you like it!

After the latest update, this is how Animate opens. The program's fine, functional, works as I expect, but this welcome page is hecking irritating to look at. Is this just... how it is now? If there's a fix, I don't know it.

Intel Mac; Seq 15.7.7, latest Animate CC.

Heyyy uhhh new to adobe here, struggling slightly. been watching tutorials and stuff but I always work better with someone helping me ^^ I'm making a mod for my bfs birthday :3 and I'm pretty much learning all the programs from scratch XD

can someone repair or convert these old flas to in newer versions of adobe animate pls.

Hey guys.

This is my first time using animate (I use illustrator a lot) and I’m trying to animate my works logo. I want it to fade in and have used alpha 0% -> alpha 100% with a classic tween.

Everything looks great in animate but when I export (export video/media - QuickTime - apple ProRes 4444 with alpha) it gets this black outline and the people fade in transparent -> grey -> white not just transparent -> white.

I’ve included a video of what it looks like exported with no background playing in my camera roll. As you can see it’s got the black outline and the people fade in transparent -> grey -> white. Looks like this over any coloured background or other video.

I’ve tried troubleshooting but can’t seem to figure out the issue!

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I'm a indie developer working on POWER OFF 1, a 2D puzzle-platformer set in a broken mechanical world where you play as a small robot trying to restore power to the machines around him.

I launched my Steam page recently and somehow managed to reach 195 wishlists, which is exciting but also has me second-guessing every decision.

Right now I have a problem:

I don't have a proper trailer yet.

I do have a temporary gameplay trailer made from actual game footage and existing levels, but it currently has no sound effects, no music, and no voice-over. Just gameplay.

I'm trying to decide whether I should:

• Upload the trailer now and improve it later.
• Wait until I can produce a much more polished version with proper audio.

My gut feeling is that having some trailer is better than having no trailer at all, but I'd love to hear from developers who have already gone through this process.

I'd also really appreciate feedback on the Steam page itself:

• Does the game concept come across clearly?
• Do the screenshots communicate what kind of game it is?
• Does the capsule art catch your attention?
• Would you wishlist it based on the current page?
• What's the biggest thing you think is missing?

I'm looking for honest feedback, even if it's brutal. I'd rather fix problems now than discover them after launch.

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to look at it. Every piece of feedback helps a lot. 🙏

Mostly frame-by-frame animation made in Flash CS4.

As you can see I'm trying to make a simple running loop while my character is talking so i put the talking animation, bangs, and eyes in an object all together so I could tween it all! but unfortunately when i try to copy and paste the motion it resets the animation :( is there a way to copy and paste the motion without having to manually tween every bit?

WARNING: This is a beta, so expect bugs like TypeError 1009, some audio issues or the software just crashing.

tl;dr

Here's a link to a Video on how to install Swivel Source, along with the updated Code with as much relevant information on how to look over the code if you're interesting in further helping us out.

If you want to get to talk to me, you can do it, here, Discord, Twitter, Newgrounds or my updated email, swivelrevival@mailfence.com. Root and Fluxer are still under construction, will update when ready.

Long Version

Yes, it finally happened, the source code for Swivel has finally been updated. Thanks in no small part to Mike, the Haxe discord and my main programmer Bk20x. This was a long time coming and I do apologies for the wait, but it's finally here. Now, for what's new, it's mainly an internal update, being that it now runs under Haxe 4, Harman Air along with a few other fancy things (Flash Player 32 support). Ff hasn't been updated yet, that'll be for V 0.2, (Along with a Mac port) I just wanted a version out that works, so don't expect it to be a massive improvement from the previous version, in fact, it'll be a downgrade in some ways. This is ok, because with your help, we can finally get real world results and with it being open source, see what is missing or needs to be adjusted. Along with that, we can use Jpexs Decompiler and the Ruffle code to further help us out with missing or bugged features.

Now, for my animators, I ask if you want to try any of the new features Adobe has added throughout the years to see if it would work in this newer version, please let us know. If it doesn't work, could you please send us the issue you're getting with a 10 second Swf file. It doesn't need to be anything fancy, just a very basic animation, anything helps along this journey. Again, apologies for the long wait, I went into this thing head first with only a basic understanding of had to go into this and this project turned out to be a lot harder than I initially thought. But, it's here and just the beginning.

Thank you from the Swivel Team and a special thank you from Mike, without his help, we'd probably wouldn't be here right now.

I started using Adobe software very recently, seriously, it's the first time in my life, I'm mainly doing this to port "Whitty: Fire Fight" to the PsychSlice Engine...

When I downloaded the original files, I noticed a huge issue... everything was made using SpriteSheets (absolute hardware genocide) 💀🙏🏻

Here is the problem with the original files, there is a super interesting formula for how PNG images decompress in VRAM (Height × Width × 4 Bytes) the original mod uses textures with a resolution of 8192×8192, and not just for a single SpriteSheet, but for several of them (probably between 4 and 8 canvases of these dimensions)

From a technical standpoint, this is a massive hazard for multiple, complex reasons (VRAM overflow, massive VRAM consumption, and bottlenecks due to decompressing very heavy images)

The average consumption? About 256 MB of VRAM per texture, with all the visual effects combined, it could easily drain up to 6 GB of VRAM periodically, If you don't have a great CPU, you practically have to pray that the game doesn't crash when switching textures...

The solution (and my current problem)

After searching for a long time, I struck gold, a master key in FLA format that would allow me to export everything into texture atlases

Just to clarify (in case it's needed) texture atlases are like advanced SpriteSheets, instead of packing entire, fully assembled animated frames, they pack individual modules separately to animate them in real-time

This means that the monster that used to take up 2 GB of VRAM (across multiple canvases) calms down to a decent 256 MB, It is perfect so that it doesn't blow up while being processed

My questionI've hit a brick wall, due to my lack of experience with Adobe, I have absolutely no idea how to fix the issue I'm running into when exporting the textures...

Someone maybe... give me a hand? (please...?)

Hi all, I'm looking for some suggestions on how I could animate something similar to the following video:

https://youtu.be/0a4eIecSkKg?is=9D9XU9vKoPO2ORV3

Specifically, I want to animate a camera following a creature moving on a curved path, with the creature remaining on the center. I know about adding motion guides to symbols but there doesn't seem to be a good way to add motion guides to cameras, does anyone have any tips or suggestions I can use to achieve this?

Thanks!
