I have iclone 5+, Crazytalk 7 both installed. In facial animation tab with character and facial animation added, I don't have the "Launch Crazy Talk " button in the Modify tabs.

From the tuts I've seen seems like it should be there. Any ideas?

Thanks, -Jeff

Hi Jeff,

This feature was available in earlier versions of iClone because iClone lacked many of the advanced facial animation features of CrazyTalk. However in iClone5 you now have almost the same facial animation system built in. As a result, the dependency on CrazyTalk is now no longer there and this feature has been removed.

With iClone5 and CrazyTalk 7, they are now considered two separate standalone products, however you can still import CrazyTalk 6 .cts scripts and .clp motion clips if you wish.

Thanks, that answers my question. Does seem like there's more functionality to CrazyTalk7 though, so I will try to use it in the pipeline.

Peter,

I just noticed though that you said I can still import CrazyTalk 6 scripts, do you mean that CT 7 scripts will not import? Hadn't tried it yet but I just bought CT 7 with that in mind. Is it no longer compatible?

As I mentioned previously we now consider iClone5 and CrazyTalk 7 as two independent standalone products. There is no option in iClone5 to import CT7 scripts or motion clips unfortunately.

iClone5 does still allow import of CT6 scripts and motion clips as iClone5 was released before CT7. However going forward with iClone6 it is unlikely this feature will be carried over as there is no real requirement for it.

Wow! So I purchased iClone 5 Pro, and then went and spent another $120 on CrazyTalk 7.31 Pro to use with iClone 5 Pro, and now I read that iClone 5 Pro does not support CrazyTalk 7.31 Pro!!!!

What is going on here!???? Reallusion should have made it CLEAR that you don't need CrazyTalk 7xxx Pro, if you have iClone 5 Pro!!!!

I think there may be a bit of a misunderstanding here.

iClone5 and CrazyTalk 7 are two standalone products as were iClone4 and CrazyTalk 6 before them.

However in earlier versions of iClone we did allow you to use scripts from CrazyTalk for convenience, but it was never a requirement. To be clear no version of iClone has ever needed CrazyTalk for facial animation. The lip-sync and facial animation features have always been built into iClone itself.
