Thanks for answering those questions. I got more
1) As you said assets can be created in software like blender. Is there a software to quickly create assets? A software that is very user friendly or quick to learn.
Any 3D modelling software you decide to use will have a learning curve and that includes the free Blender. There is no way around this and you must be willing to invest some time to learn. However, there are a multitude of tutorials available on YouTube and other sites that can help you get started with 3D modelling.
If you are a complete beginner you can start with something like Paint 3D which comes with Windows 10. This easy to use software is more powerful than it first looks and you can create some decent looking 3D models very easily. And as an alternative to using any kind of 3D modelling software, you can use iClone's own 3D Block system. This is a collection of different 3D shapes that can be resized, repositioned and merged together to create different types of 3D models.
Finally, you can avoid the modelling process altogether by using pre-made assets. We have a Marketplace of characters, props and accessories that can be used, or you can import free models from sites such as the
Trimble Warehouse using 3DXchange 7. There are thousands of different models available.
2) for crazytalk animator, is there a tutorial to show me how to create a character from a picture?
We have many tutorials that can help you create characters in CrazyTalk Animator 3. There are various ways to create characters such as using PSD templates if you have Pipeline version, or by creating the character within CTA3 itself if you have the Pro version. You can also use the "Free Bone" system to add bones to almost any picture and bring it to life instantly. To find the tutorials please click

I hope this helps a little.
