Please read through the following guidelines before dealing with these new asset types:

Part 1: CT Contents & Corresponding IC/CC Contents

*There are two types of Actor, one is image-based 2D Actor, another is 3D Actor. We are talking about 3D Actor in this Submission Guide.
  • The CT contents are converted from IC/CC contents via CrazyTalk 8.1 Pipeline. If you plan to sell CT contents, please take time to learn how to create IC/CC contents first.
  • For the current IC/CC developers, CrazyTalk 8.1 Pipeline gives you an opportunity to showcase and sell your IC/CC contents; while CT users also get benefits from the larger content bases.
  • During the content converting process, be cautious of NOT using DRM-protected IC/CC contents to do the conversion, but using the IC/CC contents which are not uploaded via the Uploader yet. If you are using the IC/CC contents with DRM information, those IC/CC contents will become the "base content' of CT contents, which implies that users have to buy the base contents, or they will get watermark overlay on the screen when using the CT contents.
  • IC/CC contents can be applied to CrazyTalk, but the CT contents can only be used in CrazyTalk.
