Dear Reallusion Users

CrazyTalk V8.1 official launches on September 5th!

We are more than happy to announce that CrazyTalk has once again excelled itself and pushed the boundaries of fun of animation with the release of NEW version 8.1.2024.1.
Besides continuing on the effort in creating talking avatar, talking pet and 3D head, this time CrazyTalk V8.1 also brings VividEye, neck and head adjustment alone with a large number of contents to create a carnival. 
Furthermore, CrazyTalk V8.1 is also connected with the 3D tools of Reallusion family, such as iClone 6 and Content Creator. 

To learn more about these features, please see the update webpage HERE.
For CrazyTalk Standard and Pro version users, though you do not have the pipeline to import 3D contents from iClone, you can purchase contents HERE with an much favored CrazyTalk content price.

  

What's New:

Importing iAssets from iClone 6 and Content Creator

• Work Seamlessly with other Reallusion 3D Tools: iAvatar, iAccessory, and iHair can be imported from iClone 6 and Content   Creator. (Note: this is for CT 8.1 pipeline version only, iAvatar must be converted from Content Creator, imported iAvatar will have accessories removed.)
• Thumbnail in the Content manager will now include a new icon to indicate   that the actor was imported from iClone 6. Scroll down to see detail.
• Select one eye texture when exporting the RL Head file. Click HERE for detail.

 
(Imported iAvatar will have accessories removed because the way of attaching contents to characters are different between CT 8.1 and IC 6. This can be solved by importing iAccessory then assemble them back)
