To install Crazytalk Animator 3 Standard we recommend you use the Reallusion Hub. Once you login to the Hub you will see CrazyTalk Animator 3 listed with an install button to click on. Once CTA3 is installed you can then install the Resource Pack and Bonus pack. If you need download links for these you can find them in your Member Account > Registration page by clicking the Download link for CTA3 Standard.

I was able to download and install the main files with my recent purchase, but there were also some bonus packets that I am not sure how to install or use from the main program (animator 3 for example) if possible. Here are some in question: 
CTA_G3_Pipeline_PSD_Ai_Template_Sample_Project
CTA_G2_Pipeline_DrawPlus_Template_and_Tools
CTA_G2_Pipeline_Flash_Template_and_Tools
CTA3_Resources_for_Live_Facial_Mocap
Is there a resource file or instruction page for files included in these tools? I did not find these particular files on my hub. I downloaded directly from my purchase page.

 But, but, but sir... those ARE the resources.

There's no readme file in CTA3_Resources_for_Live_Facial_Mocap.zip
What is the user supposed to do with the .ctTBactor, .ctFBactor and .ctActor files in there?
Should the double-click them to open in the s/w after they've installed it? (they do seem to show a custom icon in 7-zip so probably they open directly, but a readme in the .zip file wouldn't harm)

All you need to do is unzip the file CTA3_Resources_for_Live_Facial_Mocap.zip, and then in CrazyTalk Animator 3 select File > Import Model and choose a character model from the unzipped folder. Alternatively once you have unzipped the files, just drag the models into CrazyTalk Animator 3.

Once you have one of the characters open in CTA3, just switch to Content Manager > Custom > Actor > Character and click the ADD (+) button at the bottom to save the character for later use.
