CreateStudio:Everything You Need to Know About Characters (Tutorial)

[@safetyretail1942]

Love your simple explanations and not assuming anything. Subbed. Will now search all your videos as I'm totally new and couldn't find a good starting point. Thanks

[@createdbymaureen]

So glad to hear! Sometimes I feel I may repeat myself too much, but could be first video someone sees. So figure it’s ok 😊 You can always check the Quick Tips which are brief. Then if those don’t help, look at longer tutorial. The Know Your App playlist may also keep frustrations lower if can’t find something 😊 Have fun, and let me know if there’s something that needs a tutorial! I’ve run out of ideas 😂

I have another question. Do you know of any undocumented keyboard shortcut? An example would be rotating a 3d character to that it stays on its axis when rotation. The way I've found to do it is to put your mouse at the bottom or top of the box surrounding the character the keep your mouse on the line as you go left or right.

[@createdbymaureen]

I don't know of any BUT what a great idea. You should send that in as a feature request on their support page! I always mess up the rotation - and I'm going to try your tip. I think I may be sloppy, and tend to go towards the center of the character when rotating. Your way makes so much sense! thanks!

Watching it, and it soo good and helpful 😊

[@createdbymaureen]

I’m so glad it helped!

Hi there, the video tutorial is so amazing. I just subscribed. I'm new to this software, I used canva before, but I find it hard when it comes to characters actions. Love how you teaching on all of your tutorials, thanks for the laugh on this video, it helps rid away the stress while learning 😂... 👍

[@createdbymaureen]

It definitely is different than canva (and do love canva!). I have to go back to watch this one. Don’t remember what i was laughing at, undoubtably some mistake I made 🙃

[@WayneHendersonsr]

Other than the 3d Creator characters, is there a way to use the regular character action to have them walking forward? i.e. Position and scale has the character in the background waking towards the screen and getting larger as they walk forward since they can only walk left or right. I love your voice by the way. Very soothing and welcoming.

[@createdbymaureen]

Not really - sometimes (rarely) you may be able to change perspective of a character (I have done with rotation; but haven't tried since with the distortion tool, so not sure if that would work). But it never really looks great. It's something that will be so much more versatile as the new characters are loaded in And thank you :) I have learned I interrupt myself and change topic mid-speak (didn't ever know I did that 🙃)

Can these characters be exported as FBX and modified in external program like Blender and be brought back in the CreateStudio. Many thanks 🎉

[@createdbymaureen]

no, sorry, CS isn't a rigging program like that, they only render as a video file. CS is an alternative to needing the learning curve and cost of a rigging app...they added the 3D character creator with CS3 last Nov, but we are limited to the actions, clothing, colors etc they have in the app. You can export as a video and edit that in a video editor perhaps.

[@vivektyagi6848]

@@createdbymaureen Got it. Many Thanks.

Is there a way to create a girl character, just like Danny that we can edit. In the Studio, there is a character called, Ester. We would like to change her features, like hair, etc. Is there a way to do this?

[@createdbymaureen]

Bella will be arriving soon!

How do I stop my 3 d character from rotating to the left or right once the walking animation has finished ? As my character walks on but then stops and turns Thank You

[@createdbymaureen]

You need to disable end, or start, or both (depending on what effect you want). Characters always return to idle for transition to next action (360 characters, you can turn off transition for that). If not sure, I show this in many tutorials. But do know in my scrollstopper one a few days ago I show all 3 of those if that helps.

[@happymemes2849]

can i create a animation like a clapping 👏 👏 ?

[@createdbymaureen]

This isn’t a rigging program. Limited to animations available. For more specific or individualized animations it would require a different program. CS is the easy solution to creating, because creating characters and actions is a lot of work

If I purchase a $67 lifetime offer, can I then purchase just one character from the All Access subscription?

[@createdbymaureen]

Hi! I do have links for the LTD and All Access Pass on my page (and all tutorials). They also have something called Platinum (that shows up after purchasing the LTD). And then then do have some other packages. Here's a link from CS Support Page to see what they include (just don't purchase from there without owning the $67 or you wouldn't be able to access) :) store.createstudio.com/character-packs store.createstudio.com/scene-packs store.createstudio.com/templates Back in version 1 I used to purchase characters and think it was ore per character, so some of the packs may be just what you're looking for to add to your app :) Let me know if you have any other questions!
