This has to be one of the most frustrating, poorly designed sites on the 'net. I've just spent half an hour literally going round in circles trying to download some of the Crazy Talk tutorials - click on the 'Download' button, (rather than the pdf or play video options) and I wind up, after logging in (repeatedly) at the same screen again.
Also, whoever thought that tiny dark blue text against a black background was readable? Someone here needs to learn a few facts about colours and readability.
The 'Quick Guide' for Crazy Talk pdf is equally poorly designed ... what on earth possessed the designers to create it so that, printed out to fit standard A4 paper, it appears reduced by nearly 50% ... i.e., microtype, and unreadable?
Some of this poor design is reflected in the manual for Crazy Talk - which refers for example to clicking a certain button - with no mention of where that button could be found (on one of the sub-screens, in one instance, and hence not on display).
The product is excellent. The manuals and website, abysmal.
Sorry. But right now I am very frustrated at being unable to download the tutorial videos to make it all work.

Thanks for the fast response Popeye - much appreciated, but it doesn't really solve the problems - I can see the videos on line at the Crazy Talk site without having to go 'off-site' - but I want to download them to view later. Clicking the 'Download button simply takes me on a tortuous route that eventually arrives back at the original screen screen again. This is simply silly.
I will have a look at the forum you refer to - but frankly, when a publisher says there are tutorials to download on his site - and offers a link button, in my old-fashioned way, I expect that button to link with the download.

Know what you mean Mike. Have you tried Videoget. It is a free software and you can download Youtube videos so you can watch them at your leisure. I do this sometimes if I am teaching myself something whether it's Crazytalk, Iclone, 3D studio max etc.
just a thought

Hello Mike, very sad that you're having problems with the Reallusion website.
The text on the tutorial appears white on a darkgrey background for me, exactly as on the forums here. Maybe a customized color setting in your browser or Javascript/CSS cannot be run properly for some reason making the site look different as intended.
I agree, the quick reference card printed on DinA4 is barely readably.
You can download the video tutorials as one ZIP file from the bonus section of your premium membership account.

Thanks for the reply.
I do have a Premium account, but when I log-in and go to the Crazy Talk pages (I have CTPro 5.1), I see no downloads at all, let alone a zip with them all! All I can see are add on packs being sold.
I've allowed 'pop-ups' and marked the site as a 'safe site'. No difference...
But good to hear it should be available!
Mike

Sent the link also via PM to you.

nks - downloading that file now. I had seen it before - but dismissed it as being a 'What's New' list of, ummm, what is new, rather than the combined range of tutorials.
I appreciate your help in getting me there - but it doesn't do much, I'm afraid, for the way this site is organised!!
I see the forum UI as a black backgriound (not the posts) - and the thread headings in dark blue on that black. I've examined my settings and they're all pretty 'default', so not sure what is going wrong there.
Oh well. Thanks for your help -much appreciated.
