To All Alpha Testers:

With CrazyTalk Animator V3.1 (CTA 3.1), you can do anything CTA 3.0 can do. 

On top of this, the new functions of CTA 3.1 are

  1. Turn you PSD files into animations.

  2. Save facial parts independently.

  3. Replace G3 Character under stage mode.

  1. Use provided PSD Human_Template to create G3 characters, then animate them in CTA 3.1. 

      Other than the layered images, the PSD tools must be able to import and export information including GROUP and MASK, so that CTA3 can correctly read back the complete character dara. So far we found Photoshop, Affinity and Photopea have the full PSD in/out capability, other PSD tools like GIMP, KRITA, CorelPainter, Photo Impact, Xara and ArtWeaver do not provide the full PSD implementation, there are also many other PSD tools we don't have a chance to fully test out, please give them a try. We need as much information from you as possible to enhance the official version.

  2. Create FreeBone PSD characters from zero and bring them to life with CTA 3.1.

      In the official version of CTA 3.1, there will be PSD templates for wings, spine and quadruped characters. Although the Alpha version provides human PSD template only, you can still create your own FreeBone characters and animate them with Motion Key Editor. If you want to apply animal motion onto your FreeBone character, please make sure the namings of bones can match.
