This issue had been fix in v3.21, which you can UPDATE HERE.

With the launch of CTA 3.2, Reallusion had noticed some issues related to PSD export feature.
Most of the issues will result in program or even computer crash while launching characters to PSD editors from Composer Mode.

There are two major causes to the crashing issue:

Cause 1  
The inconsistency of the naming of the original six eye sprites. Photoshop requires that the layer names match the original template. For instance, if you create or apply a character with random names for the first six eye sprites. You will need to change them manually back to the original sprite names, as shown in the attached graphic. Otherwise, the character will possibly cause CTA to crash. However, we are planing on fixing this issue in the future patch.

Cause 2
Due to some characters have a lot of facial sprites that make them vivid and expressive, and the launch to PSD editor function of CTA3.2 has a limitation of 1,024 layers. 

Hi, I have a few questions.
1. Does installing the hotfix solve both cause 1 and 2?
2. Is this is an official release and if so why isn't the hotfix installed though the usual channels?

Thanks,

Brooke

Hi brookelustig

To answer your questions:
1. The HOTFIX only solve issue 2. The program in the HOTFIX increase the sprite export limitation to 5,000. However, the naming issue (issue 1) still needs to be manually adjusted even with this HOTFIX version.
2. The HOTFIX is a Reallusion released version to fix issue 2, but not an official version of CTA, such as V3.21. The reason we provide this version is to quickly allow CTA3 Pipeline users to have a temporary solution. Although the future patch will fix issue 1 & 2, the scheduled date may not meet the needs at hand. Therefore, we provide this HOTFIX that can solve certain issues quickly for users.

BR,

Ola(RL), Thank you. I should have posted this sooner when you posted it but I was having too much fun with the extra export limitations :) Works great for Garry Pye's Little Mates and Harvey.  As you mentioned you still need to change the names for the eyes, but that is something that takes almost no time at all.

There is one thing I noticed after an export to photoshop (then saving the .psd).  It does not seem to put the sprites for the mouth and eyes correctly in the folders for the headimages, and this needs to be manually done to import it back to CTA.  I assume this is part of the naming convention that is used on the sprites other than the eyes for the initial export.

cynsegura,
I copy-paste the whole hotfix files to the c: drive  eg. C:\Program Files\Reallusion\CrazyTalk Animator 3\bin64
Then, created CTAppPipeline as shortcut.
