Auto Swap

Tried Character Animator Auto Swap for the first time.

It was… interesting. Kinda magic, kinda work in progress. I only set it up with two drawy arm drawings, which is probably the bare minimum you can get away with, and it showed. lol

Sometimes the swap landed where I wanted. Other times it didn’t, but even with that, it was enough to see the potential. You can feel where it wants to work, even if it’s (or I’m) not there yet.

What I liked was how fast it was to test. No huge setup, just drop in a couple of drawings and see what happens. It feels like one of those tools that could become useful once you learn its quirks — or give it better art to work with.

For now: promising, a little awkward, definitely unfinished. Which is kind of fun in its own way. Mr. Cane will be a part of a larger counting series that I am working on with Character Animator.

Try it yourself. https://pages.adobe.com/character/en/autoswap or watch the ever-awesome — Okay Samurai.
