NEWS: REALLUSION LAUNCHES
CRAZYTALK ANIMATOR 2 FOR MAC
Good
evening, Synapse Circuit Readers. Here’s some great news if your personal computer
is a MAC!
London, UK, May 2, 2014 — After winning the
Best of Show at Macworld/iWorld 2013 with CrazyTalk7’s talking heads,
Reallusion now extends its technology to
a fully featured story-telling tool; complete with full-body multi-dimensional
avatars, props and scenes.
Reallusion announces a new era in 2D
animation inviting anyone that ever dreamed of animating to wake-up their
imagination inside CrazyTalk Animator 2. CrazyTalk Animator 2 is a
revolutionary animation suite with all the necessary tools to easily create
pro-level animation.
New powerful features have opened new
possibilities for freely editing 2D motions and viewing them from any angle
with a single click. In addition to HumanIK motion editing and seamless
mix-and-match character customization, CrazyTalk Animator 2 also offers
creative and fun visual render styles that can turn cartoons into comic style
art. Powerful features like body motion puppet and auto lip-sync further
reinforce its position as the most creative tool for 2D character animation.
It’s designed for everyone from cartoon and movie creators to artists,
illustrators, web designers, educators, web marketing companies and training
video departments.
Multi-dimensional Character System Empowered
the Mix-and-Match Creation with Unique Personalities
CrazyTalk Animator 2 has a new multi-dimensional
character creation system that allows anyone to quickly build and customize 2D
actors that are ready for animation. Design a custom character from scratch
through a series of selections for hair, body, face and style inside the
CrazyTalk Animator 2 character composer’s content library. It's easy to customize avatars to look like
you, a well-known celebrity, or people you know. Normally 2D animation requires
advanced artistic skills, but with CrazyTalk Animator 2 you can build uniquely
styled characters with no drawing necessary.
CrazyTalk Animator 2 goes beyond traditional
2D animation tools with each character created in our new avatar system already
setup for full standard 2D animation and compatible with 3D motion files that
turn 2D characters into multi-angled animatable actors. Characters can move freely and be viewed at
any angle when animating without the need to draw countless iterations of the
same actor. CrazyTalk Animator 2 has
many time saving tools so you can get on with telling your story or creating
your projects faster without the bother of tedious tweaks to bring your ideas
to life.
CrazyTalk Animator 2 Allows You to Apply 3D
Motions to 2D Characters
3D motion for 2D animation in CrazyTalk
Animator 2 is a major milestone for our animation technology and will provide
animators and storytellers of all skill levels with tools to visually compete
with big budget studios. Along with the multi-angled 2D character capabilities
in CrazyTalk Animator 2 we have added the ability to import 3D motion data with
the CrazyTalk Animator Pipeline.
Now 2D
animation is reimagined with the new developments in CrazyTalk Animator 2
making your characters easier to animate and achieve pro level animation
results in 2D without the need to pose every individual keyframe. 2D artists and professionals will enjoy the
ability to rig their own 2D work with our universal character rig template and
then take advantage of our 360 degree motion tools, motion library and motion
capture features.
CrazyTalk Animator 2 updates with a more
flexible dockable user interface that lets each user decide what panels and
tools to display on-screen to match the current work at hand. Now designing the workspace for your
animation creativity is completely customisable. CrazyTalk Animator 2 provides two main modes
for creation in the interface; character composition where you can create and
edit characters or sprites and our scene editor where you can control the
cameras, animation and props. Building scenes and animating with the CrazyTalk
Animator 2 camera system gives new and experienced users the best of both
worlds with 2D and 3D views making scene building a snap along with the drag
and drop features to add any character, prop or media element like videos or
images.
