When I was a student of Electronic Music at the Conservatory School of Music, there was a lot of interests in Multimedia projects that involved 2D and 3D animation. I was very passionate about it and I started studying it extensively, and offering my help in every project I could work on as an illustrator and animator. My work was appreciated, and I got a lot of encouragement from my teachers and fellow students. I continued developing those skills, and eventually 2D Illustration and 2D animation turned out to be the main part of my job.
I started the content business by working for Microstock Agencies and Freelancing Platforms. Well, I chose CrazyTalk Animator 3 because it is the perfect software for everyday people, like me, that need to produce animated content in a very limited time and that have to to take care of different aspects of designs from character design to sound design. The output quality is outstanding and the workflow is smooth and customisable. CrazyTalk Animator 3 is just the tool I have been waiting for a long time!
In my work I use Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects and Logic Pro on a daily basis. Most of my production requires vector illustrations. I usually like to sketch with Photoshop using my tablet, and then work on my final pieces in Illustrator.
Well, I am growing very passionate about CrazyTalk Animator, so expect me to create more and more content for the store. I like to push the limit of the tools and I try to find new and creative solutions. So I hope I will be able to surprise you!
One thing to mention is that after learning the tool I decided to check out the Reallusion Incubation Program, which gave me the push to become a CTA3 developer. The program is really great as I could apply to get the tools for free, along with direct Reallusion support, and even early funding for my projects!
CrazyTalk is Reallusion's brand name for its 2D animation software. The product series includes CrazyTalk, a 2D facial animation software tool, and CrazyTalk Animator, a face and body 2D animation suite.
CrazyTalk, the 2D facial animation software, is a real-time, 2D animation and rendering software that enables users to make 2D animated cartoons. It is a facial animation tool that uses voice and text to animate facial images vividly. It has an auto motion engine that allows animators to use the intensity of their voice to drive their animations in real-time. As of January 2016, the CrazyTalk software is in version 8.
CrazyTalk is developed and marketed by Reallusion, a company that has a software and digital content development base in California and Taiwan, with offices and training centers in the U.S., Germany, and Japan.
CrazyTalk 8 being a legacy product, does not have further updates or releases (note that a statement to this effect appears in the Google search results for the official website, but confusingly does not appear to be on the official website).
When Reallusion began as a company back in 1993, it first started developing full motion capture systems for real-time applications. During the first stages of development the company originally ran into issues on how to capture both; body animation and facial animation without having to do post-production of either. So engineers at the company created a small hardware device that would allow them to puppeteer a character's facial expressions in real-time during the body motion capturing process. Reallusion soon decided to create an in-house software application that could replace this handheld rig. Here is where CrazyTalk first took steps as an internal software script for company use only. Sometime later, Reallusion demoed the application to the American technology company Kodk, at a New York show. Kodak immediately took a liking to the software and chose to work with io in several marketing campaigns. From then ,on CrazyTalk was born.
Besides being used as a facial 2D cartoon and avatar creation tool, CrazyTalk is also a platform for app game development. Other applications include using CrazyTalk as a 2D training and marketing resource for education, industry, and business. CrazyTalk also enables users to export projects to iOS devices and directly publish them to social websites like Facebook, and Twitter, or use embedded codes to fit interactive talking avatars into HTML web designs.
Network studios have used CrazyTalk and CrazyTalk Animator in their daily production due to short delivery deadlines. Television shows like Jimmy Kimmel LIVE! use both CrazyTalk and CrazyTalk Animator 2D applications to produce real-time animations for broadcast.[1]
By default, CrazyTalk comes with a collection of usable, template-based content and projects that allow animators to begin animating upon installation. Content includes characters, props, animations, auto motion templates, audio scripts, special effects, and demo projects that can be further customized for specific needs.
Additionally, users can choose to purchase new content from the Reallusion Content Store, which hosts a large collection of official Reallusion content for iClone, CrazyTalk, CrazyTalk Animator, FaceFilter and 3DXChange. The Content Store also hosts content packs from 3rd party developers such as Daz 3D, 3D Total Materials, 3D Universe, Dexsoft, Quantum Theory Ent. and others.
Another source for CrazyTalk content is the Reallusion Marketplace which provides a worldwide platform for independent content developers to promote, trade, and sell content with CrazyTalk users worldwide. The currency in the Marketplace is known as DA (Direct Access) points which can be used to purchase content packs or redeemed for real cash. Currently, 100 DA Points are equivalent to US$1.
With the launch of CrazyTalk Animator 3 (CTA3), Reallusion says the company aims to open the door to 2D animation for beginners and quicken the process for pros with innovative character templates, valuable motion libraries, a powerful 2D bone rig editor, face puppeteering, and audio lip-syncing tools to give users unparalleled control when animating 2D talking characters for videos, web, games, apps, and presentations.
Lots of graphic designers create, but hesitate to animate because most animation tools are designed to exclude first-time animators. Animation takes time, and unique talent on character creation and keyframing to achieve attractive results. CrazyTalk Animator 3 helps to change that. It is, in fact, the One-for-All solution. Through the combination of character creation options, motion libraries and quick animation tools, CTA 3 opens the threshold to enter, produce, master animation no matter the prior skill or expertise.
Improved 2D character templates offer a variety of character creation styles and options. Animating a head from a photo to make it talk is still a key feature of CTA3 and there a many more ways to create characters from scratch or using a character template. The new G3 Character Templates include, Human, Animal, Bones and Elastic or Custom sprite and free bone character creations. To save effort on custom bone-rigging and key frame animation, we provide these rigs with full facial and body rigged character templates to allow users to utilize shared bones structures while enjoying a huge library of cartoon motions.
Rigging 2D Characters from images incorporates the new 2D Bone Editor that offers all the tools to structure sophisticated bone rigs. Users can use pins to constrain areas to selected bones, and optimize subdivision topology for smoother bending effects. The easiest way to create a 2D character is by simply aligning bones along an image shape. Setup intricate 2D character rigs using custom bone structures, with pins to define static regions.
Polishing animations in CTA3 with professional results is made possible with the all new Motion Curve library. Select an animated element in your scene and add a motion curve preset from the library to ease and affect the smoothing of entry and exit of your animation performance. Curves are an essential tool pros use to make their animations pop and move with style and CTA3 puts the professional power in a one-click solution.
The Generation 3 (G3) head system can finally be applied to both human and animals. It allows you to do much more with fewer sprites. The FFD tool (Free-Form Deformation) gives smooth transitions between expressions, and the Transform tool provides continuous sprite movement. Create and edit the Sprite list for facial expressions: 9 for lipsync, 14 for emotives.
CTA3 can instantly animate an image, logo, or prop by applying bouncy Elastic Motion effects. Import an illustration, image or photo into CTA 3 and use the Elastic Motion effects library to squash and stretch animate any graphic element in the scene.
Use the Prop Composer to Easily Build Multi-parts Animated Props and combine parts or sprites into one single prop for quick editing. Organize prop sprites with child-parent hierarchy and arrange their layer orders. Assign each sprite part with unique animations, and sequence their playback time.
This is a very simple and easy-to-learn software. We were able to mix and match premade body parts from the character library to create unique actors. Like Toon Boom Harmony, this software uses puppeteering to control the movement of your character's limbs and facial expressions. We were able to bring our characters to life very quickly by selecting predetermined actions and expressions from the puppeteering panels.
There are no drawing tools included as CrazyTalk comes with its own character library. The "Pipeline" version, a step up from "Pro", was meant to be used alongside Photoshop and Illustrator. It imports and helps you animate your own character creations. This heftier version of the software also provides sprite templates for humans, faces, cats, dogs, horses, wings, and spines that you can attach to your Photoshop or Illustrator characters. This makes it so your own creations are quickly turned into puppets and will respond to the premade animations found in the library. Just be aware that vector graphics creations will need to be converted to SWF files since CrazyTalk cannot open AI files.
