I've used Crazy Talk 6 before but am new to CTA2 (and iClone 6).
Have watched several Reallusion tutorials on how to turn an image into an animatable character including these https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntUy_3AMsTs&index=14&list=PLNV5zSFadPdmE_qSPdOuQLkOFrfgVIGAf & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntUy_3AMsTs&list=PLNV5zSFadPdmE_qSPdOuQLkOFrfgVIGAf&index=15
But after deleting all my original sprites from dummy character and replacing them with new ones, my character doesn't animate properly at all - some parts scale up or down for some of the test animations or jump to the wrong body part. Tried starting over from scratch as went through tutorial but still not getting usable results. Any suggestions? Resources? Has anyone else had success or trouble with the tutorials listed above?

Thanks

Rather than delete a sprite and then add a new one just Replace the old sprite with your new one. Make sure you select the Replace Current Angle function otherwise it will replace the sprites for all angles.

Depending upon how you drew the sprite (i.e. size, dpi, etc.) how it is brought into CTA. You will need to resize and reposition any sprite that you import into CTA using the Sprite editor (i.e. blue box around the sprite).

After all your sprites have been imported, sized, and positioned, you need to run the "Confirm multi-angle Settings" function.
