It&#8217;s a relatively easy and accessible 2D package for animators and also a drawing aid to cartoonists, and is one of Reallusion&#8217;s most appealing bits of software.  There&#8217;s a range of short tutorials on version 3 in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/Reallusion\/videos\">Reallusion YouTube channel<\/a>. But it&#8217;s really difficult to track down a &#8220;new features&#8221; overview in a ten minute video, and I don&#8217;t think there is an official one yet.  There are <a href=\"http:\/\/forum.reallusion.com\/301444\/CrazyTalk-Animator-30-Grand-Launch\">videos for each new feature<\/a>, though.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of new content enabled by version 3 the cats and dogs are new packs.

One of the big changes is that a user can &#8220;put bones in anything&#8221;, and create &#8220;free bone&#8221; non-human characters.  Animate a book, for instance.<\/p>\n<p>I see that a coming patch for the $299 Pipeline version will allow the creation of 2D rigged characters from Photoshop layered .PSD files.  Automated, I&#8217;m guessing, from a correctly named template .PSD?  That would be interesting, especially as Sketchbook Pro can output .PSD files.<\/p>\n<p>And apparently their real-time animation software iClone 7 is set to ship in December.  If it has a Comic Book Mode as good as the one in Poser 11, I&#8217;ll be interested.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CrazyTalk Animator 3 has been recently released.
