Reallusion has also enhanced CrazyTalk Animator 3 into an even better 2D animation tool infused with the power of importing and animating PSD files directly. With CrazyTalk Animator V3.1 (CTA 3.1), you can do anything CTA 3 can do. On top of that, the new features of CTA 3.1 are: 1. Direct PSD character animation. (Pipeline only) 2. Save facial parts independently. 3. Replace G3 Characters under stage mode. 4. Timeline enhancement. New Features 1. From Photoshop and PSD Compatible Tools to CrazyTalk Animator 3. (Pipeline only) Besides the layered images, the PSD tools must be able to import and export information containing GROUP and MASK, so that CTA 3.1 can correctly read back the complete data. PSD files from Photoshop, AFFINITY, Xara, CLIP STUDIO PAINT and KRITA are fully supported by CTA 3.1, other tools may not provide the full PSD implementation. Let's take a look of how to animate PSD files with CTA 3.1 from basic to advance. See the tutorials to find out how easy it is to animate PSD directly. (1). Animate a Character from 6 Body Parts - only 6 images required (2). Create a standard G3 character with 10 Body Parts (3). Adding a Full Set of Animated Hand Gestures (4).
