Rigging in Adobe Character Animator is the process of adding special animation information to an imported PSD (Adobe Photoshop) or AI (Adobe Illustrator) file. In this tutorial, we're going to walk through creating a character completely from scratch, learning how to set up your artwork and add things like tags, handles, behaviors, sticks, and more in Character Animator's Rig mode. You can follow along and create your own character, and by the end you should have a customized creation ready for your next animated project!
