Comtatible webcams that work with Adobe Character Animator . Compatibility List 2023
Adobe Animator can be a bit picky when it comes to webcam compatibility. A lot of users have been experiencing problems with several webcam models on PC and MAC. This has especially been the case with Logitech Webcams under Macintosh OS. This list features devices that have been confirmed to work with Adobe Character Animator.
Is there any difference between 720p and 1080p?
Adobe Character Animator works flawlessly with webcams that offer a 1280×720 pixel resolution. Even pupil and eyebrow tracking works as intended.
Is there any difference between 30fps and 60fps Webcams
I haven’t experienced any difference regarding frame rate in real life use. However if you want to track fast movements or produce animations in 60fps you might look for a native 60fps webcam like the Razer model listed under Premium Webcams
What can I do against latency?
Adobe Character Animator offers a setting for offset – you can enter an offset value in ms (milliseconds) to keep video and audio in sync.
What field of view works best
Recommended field of view is 60° to 90°. All our recommended webcams are in this range. Below 1m distance from webcam to actor you shouldn’t go below 90°. If you are closer to the webcam and still need to capture arm movement the Asus Webcam with it’s bigh FOV listed under Budget Webcams might be the best choice for you.
Even while I have a supported webcam it still is not getting recognized in Adobe Character Animator
Adobe Character Animator has to be in the list of apps that are allowed to access the webcam (Go to Windows -> Settings/Privacy/Webcam and allow Character Animator to access the webcam)
Compatibility List: Approved webcams that work with Adobe Character Animator
Recommendations
Budget friendly webcams for Adobe Character Animator:
ASUS Webcam C3 – Good Image quality, big field of view, still low latency Creative Live! Cam Sync 1080p <- Good image quality, latency is good Logitech C270 <- Cheapest device that has been confirmed working in CA, low latency and the image quality is fine
Premium Webcams for use with Adobe Character Animator
Logitech C922 PRO – <- Premium Image Quality, low latency works best on PC – Has some issues with Character Animator on Mac because of the audio sample rate Logitech Brio Razer Kiyo – 60 FPS
El Gato Facecam
Creative Live! Cam Sync 1080p
ASUS Webcam C3
Logitech C922 PRO
Logitech C270
Troubleshooting:
vagnerj19086653 wrote on the Adobe Forums: I have the solution for this problem. Go to device manager and disable the virtual cameras that you have installed on your computer. Only that! Very simple!
Since I have to deal with infected computers and hard drives, ssd’s and usb sticks I came a long way to determine what the best hardware write protected setup would be. Upfront: Most manufacturers don’t care about a simple hardware write protection. Whether in the case of data storage nor firmware protection. Most manufacturers simply don’t care about a mechanical write protect switch that offers proper hardware write protection.
At least there are some options available to buy and choose from. Plus there are some workarounds and DIY solutions to securely transfer files from an infected pc to another one without risking to spread the infection any further. There are ways to protect yourself form Bad USB attacks and keep safe on the firmware side of USB sticks, hard drives and Solid State Disk Drives as well.
There also are options to create a non writable boot medium. If you want to boot from a hardware write protected drive you have several options like S-ATA Adapters with hardware write protection and commercial grade SSDs (DOM) with hardware write protection. This way you could boot a live linux that doesn’t allow any alteration of the system files and folders.
While the firmware of many USB devices should be secure by design, it often isn’t. You should always check if the built in microcontroller is vulnerable to bad usb attacks. However this by itself doesn’t tell anything about proper implementation of a hw write protection for the flash memory storage.
ICY BOX IB-256WP External Enclosure with Write Protection Switch for 1x 2.5″ HDD/SSD, USB 3.0
ICY BOX M.2 NVMe Mac Pro Design Case for M.2 SSD USB 3.1 Gen2 (10Gbps) Passive Cooling System Write Protection
USB Sticks with a hardware write protection
Regarding the security level we have to split the USB Flash Storage devices into 3 groups. Group 1 has no hardware write protection at all. Group 2 has a hardware enabled write protection for the storage space that is accessible by the OS but still has a unsecured firmware that can be tampered. Group 3 has a hw write protection and a secured firmware (Option 1: Crypto signed Firmware which may get flashed from within an OS & Option 2: a read only firmware & Option 3: a flashable Firmware that requires external SPI programming)
USB Sticks with write protection (No special efforts for secure firmware)
The Kanguru UltraLock USB 3.0 SSD comes in different capacities 240GB, 480GB, 1 Terabyte and 2 Terabyte.
SD cards with write protection
The problem with most of the micro sd cards, while offering a write protection or read only switch, they still rely on a simple flag that is set by switching to the protected state. However this flag may or may not be recognized by the micro sd card reader you use. Even if it is recognized by the card reader, the reader itself only reports the state of the flag to the operating system. After that the OS has to decide if it will comply with the “standard routine” or simply ignore it. Even if the OS does comply with the read only state, a malicious piece of software may still perform write actions to the card’s storage space by using exploits. Therefor a virus, trojan, rootkit or anyone with remote or physical access to the computer to which the card is connected, may perform write commands and alter the contents of the sd card.
Conclusion: mostly all Micro SD Cards may be altered regardless of the state of the write protection switch.
There are some micro sd cards which offer a card internal write protection. The card itself then doesn’t allow writing to the flash storage by filtering out any write commands. The write protection is within the card’s responsibility.
However, these cards rarely seem to exist in the wild. While there might be devices available somewhere, most of the time these aren’t made available to the public a.k.a. average joe.
These cards with an internal hardware based write protection are available to military and governments or businesses that aquire them directly from OEM’s (Original Equipment Manufacturer).
Workarounds – DIY write protection for Micro SD Cards:
If you don’t mind the hassle and really want a secure and write protected micro sd card, you can rely on a “man in the middle” device that filters out any write commands to the card’s storage. Unfortunately (or excitingly) you have to assemble these kind of devices yourself. The effort to do so isn’t that big.
Option 1: The SD Locker (Price range 7-10 $ US)
You just have to be able to solder simple stuff and get your hands on these parts:
ATmega328p microcontroller (2-5 $ US)
3.3 VDC boost regulator (4-5 $ US)
SD card socket (less than 2 $ a piece)
A simple and cheap Perfboard (DOT PCB even less than 2$)
Even if you can’t solder yet I advise you to just get a cheap solder iron and some solder wire. Soldering isn’t hard to learn and it makes so much fun to be able to manufacter electronic devices yourself. There are so many opportunities within the maker space. Get yourself a go and enter the hacker space – you really should start to learn how to solder in 10 minutes.
Professional Write Blocker / Read Only Adapter (Forensic tools)
Forensic Bridges are mainly used in the professional field. They offer tamper proof connections to connected drives and storage options and secure file transfers from infected drives to another computer / storage solution.
Coolgear USB 3.0 SATA / IDE Adapter with Write-Protection (discontinued)
The Wiebetech Forensic UltraDock is a read only device and offers a write protection based on it’s hardware design. The Firmware of the connected drives might not be manipulated as well. However the Forensic UltraDock’s firmware itself maybe altered without an external programmer since the device offers firmware updates by using the application Wiebetech offers for download.
Drives connected over PATA/IDE allow transfer speeds up to 133 MB/s. By using SATA standards, 6Gbps are the maximum. The homepage states only up to 3Gbps for I/O SATA but the product specifications say 6Gbps.
It seems to be one of the few safe and bootable forensic write blockers. As long as the computer is able to boot from one of the various ways you are able to connect the Wiebetech Ultradock to, the boot process should not be interrupted. Mainboards capable of booting from USB Media (3.0 up to 5 Gbps) should do well in the booting process. eSATA (up to 6Gbps) and Firewire (800 Mbit) are also available forms of connecting the Wiebetech Forensic Ultradock with a PC or MAC running Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, 8, 10, 11, Windows Server 2003 or later as well as Mac OS X 10.4.x or higher (USB 3 requires 10.8 or later) and Linux distributions.
The Ultradock from Wiebetech comes with an AC adapter & power cord USB 3.0 cable, 1x eSATA cable, 1x SATA drive cable, 1x IDE drive cable, a Molex MiniFit to legacy power cable adapter, a metal drive plate (for optional use) plus a packet of screws, bumpers and also a full 3 year warranty.
Adapter Bundles are available for 2.5in & 1.8in IDE, ZIF, mini PCIe, mSATA and MBA2010 connectors. Also a m2 Adapter is available as well. It works as described with SATA 512n and 512e type drives but is incompatible with 4Kn type drives.
It complies with EMI Standard: FCC Part 15 Class A, CEEMC Standard: EN55022 and EN55024RCM.
The UltraDock is a bit pricey for the casual user. But for people who have to deal with infected drives on a regular base, nerds and hardware enthusiasts this is one of the premium options to choose from if you want secure file transfers from unsafe media to another computer.
The Coolgear Adapter with the ability to write-protect data, the USB 3.0 Sata / IDE Adapter makes a perfect tool for any tech bench and forensics workshop. Supporting the latest USB 3.0 design with speeds of up to 5Gbps, the USBG-127ASD supports SATA 3G drives with speeds up to 3Gbps and ATA100 IDE drives with speeds up to 1Gbps, Write-Protect mode automatically reports the drive as un-writable to any computer it is plugged into.
Most “write protected” adapters simply allow the operating system to think it is writing data, when in fact it is silently ignoring write commands. This leaves an uneasy feeling where you aren’t sure if the data was actually written or not until you verify. With the USBG-127ASD USB 3.0 SATA / IDE Adapter, there is no uncertainty when in write-protect mode, the operating system cannot write data to a connected drive and will present you an error if you attempt to do so.
The Sharkoon device sets a write protect flag. However the firmware should be safe since the HDD’s are connected through USB protocol as a spokesperson of the company said. The Firmware of Disk Drives should only be writable through the native SATA or IDE port. At least no tool is known to them that realizes firmware updates over a USB connection. However, a tool that does so might exist in the wild told us Mr. Klein from Sharkoon Technologies. The device uses the Innostor Modell IS611 chipset. If anyone has more information about how this chip realizes the write protection, please share your knowledge in the comments below.
The Delock Converter allows to connect any SATA device like SSD, HDD, DVD, CD-ROM by using the USB 3.0 standard while the built in hardware write protect function prevents the writing of data to the connected SATA drive. The manufacturer yet has to confirm that tampering with the connected drives firmware will also be impossible as well as if the firmware of the Delock Converter is safe by design / not flashable.

We will update the road map as soon as new information will be made available by the devs from Night of the Dead. These guys are still very busy since the early access release in 2020. Since we had no Night of the dead road map from the early beginning, we are truly thankful for the release of the official roadmap.
Players are now able to dodge attacks. The player will not take any damage when dodging an attack but it will consume parts of your stamina. Be prepared for managing your stamina and condition bars when running, dodging and slashing zombies on your way. Don’t get too exhausted or you might experience how bad the zombies really smell out of their rotten mouth’s.
Introduction of the new guard system
The newly added shields can be used to block attacks. The standard key binding is used on your secondary mouse button. Using the shield consumes stamina as well as the newly introduced guard points. These guard points are displayed on the guard point meter and cap your amount of available blocking actions.
New Workbench: Machine table
The new machine table will enable you to craft more and more upcoming mechanical equipment. Be prepared to upgrade your crafting skills to a whole new level.
New Tools and Weapons
The Power saw will enable you to cut down trees faster and of course cut down zombies as well. The Chainsaw in Night of the dead is mandatory for a zombie game and we are really happy to see this new weapon introduced in the january update! But there are even more new weapons. The Rocket launcher will add a lot of fun to the gameplay. However, rockets are kind of rare and will be expensive to craft. The Brass Knuckle will take fist fights to a new level while the basic Polearm brings some more stoneage flair to the game. The medieval Javelin looks and feels fantastic ingame.
New Resource By cutting trees and different ingame actions you now can gather Resin. This new ressource enables the player to make Rubber / pieces of rubber.

Myblackboxhosting.com – 120 Slots – 122,40 US $ If you want to have a really crowded Night of the Dead Server Myblackboxhosting should be considered as a solid host for high player counts. 3,9 Ghz CPU’s are stock with the option to upgrade to the 4,7 Ghz + Ultra OC setup. You can as well pay for real-time-cpu execution priority to get rid of stuttering even with a player count of up to 120 simultaneous players. This is awesome but comes at a reasonably high price. Their low slot servers are fairly well priced offering a 10 Player Night of the Dead Server for only 10,20 $ US. Considering their high performance hardware this is well priced.

Hosthavoc.com – 80 Slot Night of the Dead Server – 30 $ Hosthavoc offers dedicated servers with a population from 10 to 80 players. While their smallest server setup already has a very good price point their high slot Night of the Dead servers are really a bargain. You won’t find another 80 slot server cheaper anywhere. Priced at 30$ this equals only 0,37$ or about 0,30 € per slot. This is an even cheaper per slot cost than the hoster with the lowest at all price (4netplayers.com with their special offer) can provide. 4Netplayers offer their 8 Slot server for a very reasonable price but compared to the high capacity servers from Hosthavoc this still is more expensive per slot. Hosthavoc has a lack of server locations but if their available server locations meet your region there is not much to think about.

I’ve been a member of the Toluna Influencers panel for years. If you want to find out whether or not Toluna is legit keep on reading my review. The Toluna panel exists since over 10 years and is often featured in articles regarding the top paid survey sites. But is Toluna really worth your time? Can you really earn money by answering paid surveys on the web? Read about the experiences I made by filling out surveys on the Influencer platform. This is my toluna review.
Is Toluna for real?
Many people are unsure whether or not Toluna can be trusted or not. Since I have served Toluna for years I can truly say that Toluna doesn’t scam people on purpose. If you read the questions carefully and answer truthfully, you won’t get banned and your earned points / earnings usually won’t get revoked.
However if you dare to betray or cheat on them, Toluna will take action. Toluna doesn’t accept cheating or clickbotting in any form. As a research panel Toluna is reliant on true opinions and they take a lot of countermeasures to fight spam / cheating / bot usage.
If you as a survey participant give contrary answers to similar questions you might get banned.
How much can I earn by partaking surveys ?
This depends on the country you live in and the currency used within your country. In $US a casual survey earns you something between 0,5 $ and 3 $. Depending on where you live this is a fair amount of money for answering some questions ans giving insight to your opinions.
However the amount of surveys you might do in a month differs from one person to another. Thats because of the differences in target groups or the target audience surveys are aimed at. It makes a difference if you have any kids or pets, own one or more cars, travel alot etc. Depending on your lifestyle, income situation etc. you are eligible for one survey while you can’t take part in another one.
Because of these dependencies it’s not possible to give a definitive answer. From my experience and the other panelists I know of a common range are 2 to 10 surveys a month. This equals a possible monthly income from 2 to 30 $. Imagine, this is the possible income from Toluna let alone the other survey sites. A lot of panelists are members of a bunch of survey sites. This way the possible income you might earn is much higher than it is from participating in Toluna surveys alone.
From my point of view Toluna is one of the better panels out there.

The devs have added new machinery to the game which change the gameplay aspect to some degree. Looting still is essential on harder difficulties, however maintaining your base and reloading your traps has become easier with this new update since you can produce Logs, Tree Branches and more within your base. You now are also able to gather resources like Ore or Stone without leaving your base by building the mining / quarrying machine.
It takes about 3 hours for the Quarrying Machine, Mining Machine and the Oil Machine to finish their production cycle. So they all take the same amount of time to produce the corresponding material. We are talking of ingame time ofc.
You can see if a machine is still working as long as the animation is running. Once the animation stops, you have to maintain/reload the machinery.
Maintenance Kit ■ To make the machines function properly you need a Maintenance Kit. The production of a Maintenance Kit costs 1x Rubber ring, 10x Research material, 5x Cloth and 4x Piece of iron. They can be produced at the Crafting Table.
Bush Plantation ■ After 7 hours of ingame time the Bush plantation produced Vines, Tree Branchees, Herb and Leaves. Reloading the Bush Plantation takes 1x Seed and 1x Manure.
Tree Plantation ■ This also takes 7 hours to finish a cycle and gives you Logs, Fruit (Apple, Pear), Leaves and Tree Branches. Reloading the Tree Plantation takes 1x Seed and 1x Manure.
Oil Machine ■ Yields Oil for you. No more need to gather all your supplies by looting around. To reload the Oil Machine you need Maintenance Kits and Logs.
Mining Machine ■ The output of the Mining Machine is random. It yields Copper ore & Iron ore as well as Pieces of Iron. To reload the Mining Machine you need 2x Maintenance Kits plus 2x Fuel.
Quarrying Machine ■ This machine gathers resources like Boulder, Stone, Small Stones and Limestone for you. Reloaing takes 1x Maintenance Kit plus 1x Gas.

Some fellow dude at the discord asked how to destroy a bush. Since the tutorial shows you how to break a car by using the f key and yield the materials afterswards it does not teach you how to destroy a bush in general. Since this isn’t done by pressing the f key and as other people have had the same problem we might help you in this short tutorial.
