Hi Visconti I am Massimiliano Giannini from Italy a registered user of ALL of your products (i LOVE your software company ) I want to know if I can try Crazy Talk 5 pro Beta and if in the commercial version will be mantained the possibility to export cts and ctm file for javascript interaction crafting a html page calling the active x via the web output (in the next version no more directly supported, what a pity, it was a great feature).

Thanks in advance for your kind reply

Hi, Giannini

Thanks for your reply about CrazyTalk5 Beta.
You can request for the beta program in our web page.
http://www.reallusion.com/crazytalk/ct5_beta.asp

As to the issue about web output, we are really sorry about the difference from 4.x.
But I think flash video output will help in the other hand.

Thanks
Jason

感觉5.0比原来更近了一步,提供的新的功能让操作更加简便,也更符合使用的想法。对于一个craytalk的老用户来说是一件很快乐的事情。

对原来的cts部分,之前4.x版本,不能够在不同的cts文件中对部分设定好的内容进行复制粘贴(ctrl+C,ctrl+V)操作很不方便的。好像new feature没说是否有改动?

此外,以前在网站上看到有输出flash文件格式的插件,不知道再哪里可以找到,并下载?

here's a little music video i put together using iclone and crazytalk 5 beta - i'm still learning the ropes with lip synching but here's my attempt - the close up scenes were with CT5 and the medium shots were using CT4 and iclone.
