Adding physics is a great way to give extra motion and life into your characters and scenes in Adobe Character Animator CC. In this 3-part tutorial we'll cover the fundamentals by walking through an example project (free download below). First, Basic Physics will show you how to make colliding shapes through the dynamic and collide tags. Then we'll show you how to make things like hair and drawstrings automatically sway with your character's movements in Dangle Physics. Finally we'll create some rain and cannon particle systems that collide with an umbrella.
