Adobe Character Animator 2020 (v3.2.0.65) introduced several significant features designed to streamline the animation process and improve character expressiveness. Key features included:
: Enhanced tools for defining joints and limb behavior, allowing for more natural and fluid character movements without complex manual keyframing.
: A more organized interface that provided quicker access to essential tools like the Puppet Panel and Timeline, improving overall workflow efficiency.
: This version leveraged Adobe Sensei to automatically generate mouth shapes and head movements based on recorded audio, making lip-syncing more intuitive and faster.
