Reallusion
Launches CrazyTalk on the Apple iTunes Store
CrazyTalk
allows iPhone and iPad users to puppet and record their
animations by simply touching, shaking and talking!
San Jose, CA June 3rd, 2013) — Reallusion,
the award-winning leader of 3D and 2D Cinematic tools, has introduced the
mobile version of CrazyTalk to iTunes Store. CrazyTalk is unique. Unlike other talking
app programs, CrazyTalk
allows you to directly interact with characters in an instinctive way by
providing you with truly natural controls over characters. It lets you animate with the power of your
voice, fingers and wrist movements.
Users are able to puppet projects, add automatic lip-syncs, generate
volume sensitive performances, save their projects and directly share on
YouTube, Facebook and through emails.
In
the last 6 months, Reallusion has won two renowned Mac awards for CrazyTalk. Reallusion’s
CrazyTalk7
(CrazyTalk desktop version) won “Mac App Store Best of 2012” and “Macworld Best of Show
2013” on its first entry into the Mac market. Now Reallusion have turned this
award winning technology into an iPhone and iPad app. Every user can now experience
the new wave of animation creation.
What Makes CrazyTalk Different From Other Talking Apps-
Touch, Move and Animate
There
are many talking apps in the market. Most of them are just click and playback
pre-designed animation, or they mimic your voice with basic lips movement. Reallusion
make the animation truly different based on your own unique control. Reallusion focus on intuitive animation. With
very few buttons, on the user interface, CrazyTalk app can generate very
natural animation based on your MOVE, your VOICE, and your TOUCH.
·
Intuitive design for one thumb touch and slide: Stream lines the
creation process for the non-animator with few buttons and options to clutter
up the stage. Its layout is based on the iPhone’s ergonomic design, making
users feel immediate response from actors once they lay a thumb over the screen. This allows
users easily create brilliant animation with one hand.
·
Make the most of built-in motion sensors: The iDevice’s built-in motion sensors are also put to
good use, allowing CrazyTalk users to shake and tilt to make their characters
follow, look-at, sway, pop and bounce. The muscle-based animation technology
also lets users slide to animate by simply tapping and dragging their fingers
over the application’s puppet grid which contains references to an actor’s
facial parts and expressions.
·
Voice to animate: Real sound lip-syncs are also automatically generated by recording
your actual voice and letting the built-in phoneme library animate mouths
accordingly. The audio technology also analyses the strength of your voice in
order to determine the intensity of the animation. A whisper might generate a
subtle character motion, while a loud yell would make the character react in
passion.
·
New content for new possibilities: Content add-on packs will include new, dramatic
characters each with their own personalities for use in different scenarios.
These characters perform unique idle motions when left untouched, and react to
sound with their own Auto Motion styles. The character-embedded Auto Motion
styles behave differently in each actor, mimicking their preset moods and
attitudes - making them ideal for use in different situations.
CrazyTalk Is Not Just an App!
CrazyTalk
is a new way to enhance media communication and social interaction. It's a natural visual revolution to the
intuitive iDevice which already comes with touch, motion sensor, even in the
future for Siri voice recognition. The CrazyTalk app aims at being one of the
most intuitive, simple, yet powerful companion in anyone’s pocket; delivering
fun, form, functionality and fantastic life-life results every time.
Additionally,
CrazyTalk marks the beginning of a multi-platform animation ecosystem that
allows users to create content on their desktops, upload to a cloud server, to
later animate and share on their iDevices; making CrazyTalk one of the best
paired applications today.
CrazyTalk
users will enjoy future updates for both function and content to enhance the
CrazyTalk mobile experience. Function
packs will be available to unlock additional features including Voice Morphing,
which allow users to instantly morph their voice to many different options;
Puppet Recording feature, which will enable users to create and layer their
very own unique motion detail by touching, swiping and shaking. Content add-on packs include new, dramatic
characters each with their own personalities and their own Auto Motion styles
for use in different scenarios.
The
CrazyTalk app is powered by the same high-tech engine found inside the
