Hello to all, and happy new year Smile

I am new to animation, and I am evaluating the very interesting Crazytalk software (just 2 days remaining !).
At the step of creating a new G3 character, i have several issues. So I would like to mention them here.

I followed this tutorial (that were a very good help!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kN-mKg5KlmM
The screens below will be more explicit than some words, so I just list the 4 or 5 problems I get :

1) One of the sprite/pic I imported in my character in the Sprite Editor is truncated (the hair !). I changed several times the original pic but it is always truncated.
2) In the Layer Manager, one of the layer is always desactivated (the left arm here, but in another copy of my test files it is the 2 feet layers that are bloqued !)
3) In the preview mode, the torsion is not smooth at all (with arms for instance), no elasticity as I can see on the CTA G3 models.
4) In the preview mode, the 2 feet are not integral with the legs
5) In the preview mode, the 2 feet are not aligned on the baseline anymore (I know I just missed 1 thing here, just don't remember what !)

Here are the screens :

Tumulonimbus, I'm sorry I did not respond before the trial period of CTA3 ran out for you. I'm currently still on my Christmas holidays and haven't checked the forums as often. To be honest, I cannot guarantee that I can help resolve your issue, but if you are still using CTA3 and would like to Dropbox your project file for me, I would be only too pleased to cast an eye over it and see if I can help. I must admit, I'm more of a 'hands on' person than being able to resolve the issues by your screenshots.

Nothing wrong with program, just the joints need to over lap some.(2&3)  The hair cut (1) we have seen in beta by jlittle and their is a fix.
Hang in there your work look good.

If you find the edge of image was cut after load within creating bone actor in composer.
You might need increase the wireframe with the expand slider in the bone editor.
