The Adobe Auto rigger is definitely something to look into if you want to quickly and easily prep 3D Animated Characters (without having to learn all the difficult ins and outs of Adobe 3D Rigging.) It’s a perfect tool for beginners.
Especially those that aren’t really looking to create big animated projects, just small animated characters or objects that they can use for their websites, video content, video game development, etc.

01 [What’s Adobe Auto Rigger?](#Part 1)
02 [How Do You Auto Rig a Character in Adobe?](#Part 2)
03 [Other AWESOME Auto Rigger Tools](#Part 3)
Part 1 What’s Adobe Auto Rigger?
Alright, so what is the Adobe Auto Rigger and how does it differ from Adobe Animate Advanced Rigging or Adobe After Effects Rigging? Is there any difference at all??? The simple answer? Yes, there is a definite difference.
It’s all thanks to the third-party tool, Mixamo, which will allow you to upload characters for auto rigging (basically bypassing the kind of work that is usually required for manually rigging and animating in Adobe Animate and After Effects.) We’ll talk more about this in the tutorial below. For now, all you need to know is that it takes care of setting up a character for you with only a few simple steps.
Thus, enabling you to quickly move forward in your projects if you wish. Whether you’re intending to create a quick little animation for your website, or jumping into a video editing software like Wondershare Filmora Video Editor (which is great professional software with everything you need to start creating high-quality content that you can share with your audience.)
Part 2 How Do You Auto Rig a Character in Adobe?
Now onto our promised tutorial. Here, we make use of the Adobe Auto Rigger, Mixamo, in order to demonstrate how you can bypass Adobe Rigging by making use of Mixamo’s auto-rigging functions or their pre-existing character models for creating your projects.
01Upload Your Own Character
To start, you’ll need to visit ‘Maximo.com’ and sign in with your Adobe ID (email and password required.)
You can also sign-up for free if you’d like. That option is available for those who may want to explore the available options first.
Once you’re logged in, go to the ‘Editor’ panel and prepare to upload a custom character for automatic rigging. This is assuming that you have a character design already prepared, of course. If not, then don’t worry. The next should help.
02(Optional) Browse for Downloadable Characters
The best part of Mixamo is that it has a rich library full of pre-rigged characters that you can use should you wish to. These can be found under the ‘Characters’ tab (shown in the image below.)
So, if you don’t have a character model prepared just yet or have no intention of diving too deeply into character design just in general, you don’t have to worry. You can just download one of the pre-rigged characters here and use them for your project.
03Rig a Custom Character
If you’ve decided to go forward with a custom character, after all, upload it to the Adobe Auto Rigger (shown in the image below.)
This is a very straightforward tool that you can use to place the most important markers on your figure (chin, wrists, elbows, knees, and groin). Once you’ve confirmed the placement of all these points, you can continue and come out of it with your Model auto-rigged and work-ready.
04Download Rigged Character and Begin Animation
It may take several minutes for the Adobe Auto Rigger to completely finish auto-rigging your project, so have a bit of patience. You’ll be taken back to the main interface when complete, and you’ll be able to download your now rigged model for use.
Part 3 Other AWESOME Auto Rigger Tools
Now, just in case you’re interested in other methods of automatically rigging outside of what we demonstrated above for rigging in Adobe Animate and After Effects… We’ve included some other add-ons and tools that you can use with other popular Animation software. They’re all a little bit different, so make sure to pay attention to the details provided (and watch the video attached too. As it should show you just what exactly each of these auto-rigging tools is capable of doing for you.)
01InstantRig - Auto Rigger
The first Auto Rigger on this list is ‘Instant Rig.’ This is a rigging tool for the Animation software called 3ds Max. More specifically, it’s a ‘modular rigging’ tool. That makes it very versatile, allowing you to determine the features of the character that you are working with based on their attributes (no matter how many fingers, toes, tails, ears, etc. they need.) The tool is particularly popular with game developers, as it is a quick and easy way of rigging game characters — whether they be humanoid or beastly in form. (A free version of the tool is available, but a full license will require a one-time fee of around $35.)
02Auto-Rig Pro
Next, we have the auto-rigging addon for the free, open-source Animation Software, Blender. This add-on can be used very similarly to the Adobe Animate Puppet Rig tools — and is free to use besides. The add-on has a ‘smart feature’ that is capable of automatically rigging up joints and bones of humanoid forms in an instant and can also be used for rigging up non-humanoid characters — albeit, it would have to be manual.
03Perseus Auto Rig - Maya
Next up, we have Perseus Auto Rig. This one works with Maya (which is a very popular professional software used by a lot of animation studios in the industry) and actually comes in three versions. There’s the Perseus ‘Biped Rigging’ license for humanoid characters, the Perseus ‘Facial Rigging’ license for rigging facial features, and the Perseus ‘Quadruped Rigging’ license for non-humanoid creatures.
04Auto Character Setup
Next is the auto-character set-up tool for MODO. This is a tool designed for rigging up bi-pedal characters — so mostly humanoid forms. But it does offer some flexibility as to the form that bipedal character takes. So, you can adjust it as needed if there’s something incongruous with your design and the auto-rigger itself.
05IKMAX
For our last tool for auto-rigging, we have IKMAX. This works for 3ds Max and Maya (both of which we’ve mentioned before. It’s very easy to use and adjust as needed — with sliders that you can fiddle around with the work through any problem areas if need be.
● Key Takeaways from This Episode →
● If you’re interested in introducing animations into your content but you don’t have the time or the patience to get too involved with Adobe Rigging (which is a complex subject to talk about even for some professional animators), the auto-rigging solutions are definitely something to consider.
● The Adobe Auto Rigger, Mixamo, is an especially exciting tool to try out. Not only is it incredibly easy to use, but it comes with pre-made character designs that you can play around with to start your experimentations into animation early.
● If Adobe is not your software of choice, don’t worry. There are other auto-rigging tools that you can try out if need be. We introduced at least five that you can use with some of the more popular alternative animation software in a list for you to look through.

In this article
01 [5 Best Places to Find Animated Christmas GIFs for Free](#Part 1)
02 [How to Create your Animated Christmas GIFs (with Music): A DIY Guide](#Part 2)
03 [Pro Tip: Customize your GIFs on the Go with Filmora Meme Maker](#Part 3)
Part 1 5 Best Places to Find Animated Christmas GIFs for Free
While there are plenty of websites and apps, I would recommend exploring the following sources to find Merry Christmas animated GIFs for free.
1. Pinterest
Pinterest has to be one of the best sources to get free Christmas GIFs of all kinds. While some GIFs can readily be downloaded from Pinterest, you might be redirected to third-party websites at times. Also, before you use any GIF from Pinterest, make sure you check its copyright policy.
Mostly, you would find aesthetically pleasing Merry Christmas wishes GIFs on Pinterest about DIY activities, food, animations, and so on. The only issue is that the range of GIFs at Pinterest is pretty extensive, and there are no inbuilt categories or filters.
2. Giphy
If you are looking for funny Christmas GIFs, then Giphy would be one of the best places to explore. It has some of the most extensive GIFs collections of all styles, including Christmas wishes GIFs.
You can head to the website of Giphy or use its mobile application to find all sorts of animated Christmas GIFs as per your needs. There are tons of stickers, animated stories, and funny GIFs related to pop cultures that you would also find on Giphy.
3. Tenor
Tenor is another clean and user-friendly website where you can find different types of funny Merry Christmas GIFs for free. You can look for stickers and GIFs by simply entering keywords of your choice on Tenor.
Once you load an animated Christmas GIF, you can save it offline or generate its shareable link. In this way, you can directly share the Merry Christmas wishes GIF to your loved ones on platforms like WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger, and so on.
4. GyfCat
Having thousands of anime Christmas GIFs, GyfCat is another popular online source that you should check out. Most of the free Christmas GIFs here are animated or related to pop culture videos.
You can enter multiple keywords and hashtags on the search bar of GyfCat to find specific Christmas wishes GIFs. Most of the results here are ideal for funny Xmas GIFs that are bound to make your friends and family smile.
5. Funimada
From elves to Santa Claus and reindeers to fireworks, you can find funny Christmas GIFs of all kinds in Funimada. Unlike other places, Funimada has a curated list of animated Christmas GIFs that you can explore on its website.
Once you find a perfect anime Christmas GIF at Funimada, you can download it on your device or system and share it with others however you like.
Part 2 How to Create your Animated Christmas GIFs (with Music): A DIY Guide
Most of these readily available animated Christmas GIFs are quite generic and lack a customized appeal. Therefore, if you want to come up with some customized Christmas wishes GIFs, then consider using a dedicated editing tool like Wondershare Filmora.
Since it is a user-friendly video and media editing tool, you won’t encounter issues working on an animated Christmas GIF. You can explore and use the wide range of media assets of Filmora or import anything from your system. Besides that, tons of transitions, filters, captions, and other effects would let you come up with some customized Merry Christmas wishes GIFs via Filmora in the following way.
Step 1 Load the Media Files of your Choice on Filmora
You can start by installing Wondershare Filmora on your system and launch it whenever you want to work on any animated Christmas GIF. Afterward, you can drag and drop your media files to it or go to its Menu > File > Import Media to browse and load your files.
For Win 7 or later (64-bit)
For macOS 10.12 or later
Step2 Create your Animated Christmas GIFs with Filmora

Part 1 Why GIF?
Before we move on to the tutorials, let’s do a brief account on GIF files We’ve also answered some of the more common questions regarding using a GIF image maker below for your edification
But, first: Why GIF? Well, it all comes down to what you’re looking for A lot of people use GIF files to create animated icons that they can use for their accounts. Some just genuinely want to create a GIF file that they can share with their friends and families (either for a laugh or something else) GIF files are a convenient vessel for doing this because they have a lot of flexibility and are accepted by most platforms
01Why Gif from My Images Are Blurry?
One of the biggest issues people tend to have when turning an image into GIF is that they come out of the process with a blurry end-product. No one wants that But, how are you supposed to avoid it? Well, it all depends on the tool that you’re using and your initial picture For the former, it’s best to review the upload requirements of your chosen GIF maker to get a better end result. For the latter, it’s best to pick a good, high-quality GIF creator for a better outcome
02There Are Jaggy Strokes Around Gif?
Another issue that you might suffer from while trying to create GIFs from photos is jaggy or raggedy strokes around the GIF when converted. These occur often with GIF makers that support transparency If you find these happening to you, adjust the transparency settings to get rid of the white pixel outline around your converted GIF.
Part 2 How to Add an Image to a GIF?
Now it’s finally time for the tutorials that we promised at the beginning of this article These tutorials will range from online to software solutions — so that you can get a clear idea of what you can expect from all these different GIF makers. To be more specific, we’ll be demonstrating with an online images to GIF converter, how to create animated GIF photoshop, and how to easily turn any image into GIF with the photo GIF creator, Wondershare Filmora Video Editor.
01Image to GIF: How to Turn Photos into Animated GIFs
For our first tutorial, we’re going to be demonstrating how to create GIF from photos with an online photo GIF creator More specifically, we’ll be demonstrating with Loading.IO, which is an online tool that you can use to create animated icons for your profiles or on your video content It comes with several animation options and other settings that you can use to quickly create GIFs from photos
**Step 1: Go to Loading.IO
Of course, we start off this tutorial by opening the GIF maker. In this case, since the tool is hosted online, that’s as easy as opening the link that we’ve provided below It will take you directly to the online GIF creator.
URL: https://loading.io/animation/icon/
**Step 2: Upload Photo
Once on-site, it’s time to upload the photo that you want to turn into a GIF As this is an icon creator, you should pick a photo with the proper parameters
To upload your icon for animating, select the ‘Upload’ button and browse your computer or your Google Drive for the image in question.
**Step 3: Choose animation Style
Next, choose how you want the uploaded photo to be animated Loading.IO offers a couple of animations that you can choose from Including the ‘beat’ animation, which is what we choose for our example
**Step 4: Adjust Settings
This step is technically optional, as there are default settings already prepared if you have no other specifications for your image-turned GIF. But, if you want, you can adjust certain settings for a better outcome
For example, you can speed up the animation with the ‘Speed’ slider. Or, you can increase the number of times the GIF loops by adjusting the ‘Repeat’ slider. Test out a couple of settings to get the best result
**Step 5: Download as GIF
To wrap things up, it’s time to download your finished animation Loading.IO gives several options for this. But, of course, in our case, we choose to ‘Download As: GIF’
02How to Make an Animated GIF in Photoshop [Tutorial]
For the next tutorial, we’ll be showing you how to use Photoshop to create and edit an animated GIF This process is fairly lengthy and is not recommended for beginners. But, it is a very professional method of creating an animated GIF — one that will allow you to control every step of the process (which may be exactly what you want)
**Step 1: Import Images into an Image Stack
First, starting on a new product, upload the images that you want to turn into a GIF into a photoshop ‘Image Stack’. This can be done by clicking the ‘File’ tab and selecting the ‘Scripts > Load Files into Stack…’ option
Afterward, a pop-up window will appear where you will be prompted to browse your computer for the aforementioned images Click ‘OK’ when done
**Step 2: Organize Layers
Check the ‘Layers’ panel for the images that you uploaded and organize them based on how you want them to appear for your animated GIF
**Step 3: (Optional) Import Video
If you want to work on a video to turn into a GIF instead, you can do such by selecting the ‘File’ tab and clicking on the ‘Import > Video Frames to Layers…’ option. This will get you to the same place shown in Step 2
Note: Just be careful that you do not transfer an image that is too long Photoshop may not be able to properly break it down, if so.
**Step 4: Open Timeline Then Create Frame Animation
Next, in order to start working on your animation, open the Timeline Window This can be done by clicking the ‘Window’ tab and selecting ‘Timeline’
With the ‘Timeline’ Window now open, select the ‘Create Frame Animation’ option to begin working
**Step 5: Make Frame from Layers
In order to transfer your uploaded images from the ‘Layers’ panel to your timeline, select the ‘Menu’ option on the top-right hand corner of the ‘Timeline’ window and select the ‘Make Frames From Layers’ option
**Step 6: Preview Animation and Adjust as Needed
To preview your animation, click the ‘Play’ button This is the best time to check that your frames have been organized correctly If they are not, you can adjust them by dragging and dropping them on the timeline.
OR, you can use the ‘Reverse Frames’ option if your animation has been completely flipped around
**Step 7: Create an Animation Loop
In order to be a proper looped GIF, the animation should repeat endlessly You can make sure of this by changing the ‘Repeat’ option to ‘Forever’ (as is shown in the image below).
**Step 8: Export Finished Animation to Gif
In order to finish turning your image into GIF, you’ll need to export it in the proper format This is possible by selecting the ‘File’ tab and then clicking the ‘Export > Save for Web (Legacy)…’ option
A pop-up window should appear where you can control export settings Do so in order to ensure that you have the best outcome

The following are the steps to help you create a rig in Adobe animate.
Step 1: The first step involves selecting the shape for rigging. Otherwise, you can also use bitmap on stage for it.
**Step 2:**Look for the “Asset warp tool” present in the tool panel. This tool will help you in the process of rigging.
Step 3: Create the first joint using the “Asset warp tool” by clicking on the image or the bitmap with the tool. You will see that a triangular mesh-like structure has been formed on your image or bitmap. And the part where you clicked on the image or the bitmap with the “Asset warp tool” forms the first joint.
Step 4: The next step involves making more joints on the image and instilling bones between the joints. For that, go to the “Warp Options” and choose the “Tools” tab. There you will see the option of “Create bones”. Ensure to enable the “Create bones” option; otherwise, you will not create bones between the different joints.

1. 2D Animation
Let’s start with 2D as our fist animation style, which is the traditional or oldest form in practice for more than 100 years since 1908. 2D has widely been in usage to create animated short films, cartoon characters, games, marketing videos, and educational materials. In 2D animation, the characters or items, creatures, and backgrounds get crafted in a two-dimensional space. It produces a graphic of movement with the drawings played serially one after another.
Recommended Software: At present, various free animator tools like Creatoon, Blender, and Pencil 2D, whereas, for professionals, Encore, Flash, Toon Boom Harmony, and Adobe Photoshop can be handy!
The above 2D animation style video is a short film “Dark Dark Woods” directed by the students at “The Animation Workshop.” It is all about the young princess, Maria, drenched, and tired of living a royal life being filled with rules, duties, lessons, responsibilities, and customs. One night, she enters into an adventurous event where she finds herself in a mysterious monster-filled dark wood. Watch the film and find did she find out there!
2. 3D Animation
As the next version of 2D, in the animation industry, 3D revolutionized the market since its first appearance in 1972. Like 2D, 3D finds applications in varied platforms like a business, education, and entertainment. Still, the difference is they are unique and created in three-dimensional space using computer graphics and cinematography techniques as well. The pictures or characters look perfected with cutting-edge technology where toy story movie is an outstanding example.
Recommended Software: One can try some of the 3D modeling software packs like Maya, Houdini, Modo, ZBrush, and Lightwave 3D.
Do you know how it feels if you are trapped alone on a deserted island? “It’s a Cinch!” is a fantastic, funny 3D short film that is an adventurous movie made by the ESMA team at CGI. For sure, you will like this funny movie all about atrocities happening with a man and a pelican and enjoy it as much as I did!
3. Motion Graphics
Our next animation style is motion graphics of the animated graphic design, where text appears to be the main enhancing factor. It is a piece of animation or digital footage that illuminates a motion or notation incorporated with audio. It is a new way of communicating to the audience and in driving them deep into the story. You can categorize it under the visual effect technique, which involves the movement of graphic images or elements like logos or text, sound, music, and motion. Motion graphics are best to be found in action and finds a place in multimedia projects, advertising agencies, branding, television title making, and storytelling.
Recommended Software: Tools that are best for motion graphics is Mocha AE, After Effects, Illustrator, and Cinema 4D.
The world is a great place, but we always forget another beautiful hidden green world behind the fantastic buildings we reside in. Yes, “Beautiful World” is a motion graphic video by Blasterjaxx & DBSTF feat. Ryder presents how we humans have developed a great empire by destroying the other beautiful part of the world.
4. Stop Motion
Stop motion is one of the traditional animation styles that is the most popular filmmaking technique that uses hand-crafted or manipulated objects, mostly clay models. Puppets, silhouettes, and cut-outs can also be implemented as stop motion aids to produce animation. It is labor-intensive, a form of art, and has its flavor in animation, although 3D and visual effects have replaced it quite a long time before. But still, filmmakers like Tim Burton use stop motion in their films, making it to withstand the animation industry.
Recommended Software: You can make your stop motion video with software like Dragon frame, Stop Motion Pro Eclipse, and IKITMovie.
Although stop motion has gone before ages, there is still a fantastic introduction. Here is an award-winning short film, “Tokri (the basket),” which is a clumsy accident that leads a juvenile girl onto Mumbai’s streets with the trust of making things correct. Studio Eeksaurus, an Indian bastion animation company, has depicted a father and daughter’s tender emotive tale.
5. Paint-On-Glass Animation
Here is a Paint-on-Glass animation style that is a technique used for making animated films that gives a lot of fun. Artists paint short stories on glasses using oil paints and film them by recording it frame-by-frame. Russian animator Aleksandr Petrov is a famous artist well known for making award-winning paint-on-glass animation. Animators use different objects like brick dust, sand, pastels, and charcoal, to create outstanding drama in their films.
Recommended Software: You can also become a paint-on-glass animator now with tools like Pencil 2D, Blender, Krita, and GIMP.
Suppose you are wondering whether you could find any paint-on-glass animated movie on social media sites. In that case, there are numerous animated films, like “The Old Man and the Sea,” and “My Love,” produced by the experts of pictures of Aleksandr Petrov animation.

5 Different Animation Styles
Ready to enter into the world of animation along with us? We are all set to take you through a ride of different animation styles, their importance, and some of the videos that one should give a try!
1. 2D Animation
Let’s start with 2D as our fist animation style, which is the traditional or oldest form in practice for more than 100 years since 1908. 2D has widely been in usage to create animated short films, cartoon characters, games, marketing videos, and educational materials. In 2D animation, the characters or items, creatures, and backgrounds get crafted in a two-dimensional space. It produces a graphic of movement with the drawings played serially one after another.
Recommended Software: At present, various free animator tools like Creatoon, Blender, and Pencil 2D, whereas, for professionals, Encore, Flash, Toon Boom Harmony, and Adobe Photoshop can be handy!
The above 2D animation style video is a short film “Dark Dark Woods” directed by the students at “The Animation Workshop.” It is all about the young princess, Maria, drenched, and tired of living a royal life being filled with rules, duties, lessons, responsibilities, and customs. One night, she enters into an adventurous event where she finds herself in a mysterious monster-filled dark wood. Watch the film and find did she find out there!
2. 3D Animation
As the next version of 2D, in the animation industry, 3D revolutionized the market since its first appearance in 1972. Like 2D, 3D finds applications in varied platforms like a business, education, and entertainment. Still, the difference is they are unique and created in three-dimensional space using computer graphics and cinematography techniques as well. The pictures or characters look perfected with cutting-edge technology where toy story movie is an outstanding example.
Recommended Software: One can try some of the 3D modeling software packs like Maya, Houdini, Modo, ZBrush, and Lightwave 3D.
Do you know how it feels if you are trapped alone on a deserted island? “It’s a Cinch!” is a fantastic, funny 3D short film that is an adventurous movie made by the ESMA team at CGI. For sure, you will like this funny movie all about atrocities happening with a man and a pelican and enjoy it as much as I did!
3. Motion Graphics
Our next animation style is motion graphics of the animated graphic design, where text appears to be the main enhancing factor. It is a piece of animation or digital footage that illuminates a motion or notation incorporated with audio. It is a new way of communicating to the audience and in driving them deep into the story. You can categorize it under the visual effect technique, which involves the movement of graphic images or elements like logos or text, sound, music, and motion. Motion graphics are best to be found in action and finds a place in multimedia projects, advertising agencies, branding, television title making, and storytelling.
Recommended Software: Tools that are best for motion graphics is Mocha AE, After Effects, Illustrator, and Cinema 4D.
The world is a great place, but we always forget another beautiful hidden green world behind the fantastic buildings we reside in. Yes, “Beautiful World” is a motion graphic video by Blasterjaxx & DBSTF feat. Ryder presents how we humans have developed a great empire by destroying the other beautiful part of the world.
4. Stop Motion
Stop motion is one of the traditional animation styles that is the most popular filmmaking technique that uses hand-crafted or manipulated objects, mostly clay models. Puppets, silhouettes, and cut-outs can also be implemented as stop motion aids to produce animation. It is labor-intensive, a form of art, and has its flavor in animation, although 3D and visual effects have replaced it quite a long time before. But still, filmmakers like Tim Burton use stop motion in their films, making it to withstand the animation industry.
Recommended Software: You can make your stop motion video with software like Dragon frame, Stop Motion Pro Eclipse, and IKITMovie.
Although stop motion has gone before ages, there is still a fantastic introduction. Here is an award-winning short film, “Tokri (the basket),” which is a clumsy accident that leads a juvenile girl onto Mumbai’s streets with the trust of making things correct. Studio Eeksaurus, an Indian bastion animation company, has depicted a father and daughter’s tender emotive tale.
5. Paint-On-Glass Animation
Here is a Paint-on-Glass animation style that is a technique used for making animated films that gives a lot of fun. Artists paint short stories on glasses using oil paints and film them by recording it frame-by-frame. Russian animator Aleksandr Petrov is a famous artist well known for making award-winning paint-on-glass animation. Animators use different objects like brick dust, sand, pastels, and charcoal, to create outstanding drama in their films.
Recommended Software: You can also become a paint-on-glass animator now with tools like Pencil 2D, Blender, Krita, and GIMP.
Suppose you are wondering whether you could find any paint-on-glass animated movie on social media sites. In that case, there are numerous animated films, like “The Old Man and the Sea,” and “My Love,” produced by the experts of pictures of Aleksandr Petrov animation. Surprisingly, this bind-blowing introduction is a result of oil paints on a sheet of glass.
Conclusion
