i have 1 one wish, and 1 dream for next Craytalk release :

my wish :

full support of UTF8 and chinese SAPI voice


my dream :
option to export the animation in a poser7 scene animation

:-)

My proverbial three wishes are :-)
1) Expressive TTS
2) Runtime/Dynamic rendering of script X applied to model Y via some type of API (either ActiveX methods, action script or other SDK)
3) Macro and "batch" processing ala Photoshop

- adding more morph targets to puppeteering mode
- each morph target has it´s own timeline, with the ability to change the type of interpolation between keys (linear, constant, bezier...)
- testing in puppeteering mode should playback previous recorded animation (switchable).
- time display should be switchable to "seconds:frames" (depending on frame rate set in output dialogue)
- more distortion functionality for teeth ("pseudo" 3d rotating (x/y axis)).
- not preloading any project, when starting the software
- rendering compressed (LZW) tga files (it´s not always funny importing 1.5GB tga files into compositing suite).
- some templates for proper custom eye/teeth importing would be nice

How about assigning the alpabet keys to each phonic, so the lipsync word can be acurratly typed in when cleaning up the initial rough auto sync.

Great Software. Here are my Requests:

1. Side view fitting and Side lipsync ( Not profile)
2. 3/4th view fitting and 3/4th view lipsync
3. The ability to lipsync across multiple fitted sequenced heads(side, 3/4th and front views) in the same animation.
4. Direct export to Photoshop and Afterfx.

I realize 4 is a stretch. But it is crucial that 1 and 2 happen in order to make it feasible to 2d animation work.

My number 1 wish for CrazyTalk is the same wish I've been wishing for a long time... The ability to animate mutiple heads in a single photograph, without having to do multipass and exports out to a seperate video editor.

I'd missed this section of the forum (blame TINY blue print on a black background - very difficult to read) - so here I unashamedly repeat a previous post so that everything is 'in one place'. (I agree with all previous 'wishes' as well!)



1. The option to SAVE as well as the current 'SAVE AS' (which is labelled as simply 'SAVE' - but is really a SAVE AS option).

2. Better control of the the Timeline marker - the mouse must be positioned with some precision to avoid 'dragging an area' instead of simply scrubbing the timeline.

3 The ability to remove random movements of the face during editing (they confuse what is actually on the timeline) Note: This is probably already an option - I just haven't found it yet. !! (Note - A reply has shown where this option is now - thanks!!)

4. I'd like to see more - or different - moutrh shapes 'clues' for speech. The 'automatic' mouth adjustments for an added waveform etc can be pretty inaccurate, and it seems to me that many shapes are conmstructed by using several of the 'basic' mouth shapes. In fact, the mouthing expressions used diring the 'test' (in particular, for the vowels - 'A, E, I, O, and U' ) are exfcellent, but don't seem to be duplicated by the phenome patterns given. They obviously have been created wsith these - so I'd like to see how!!

5. The ability to resize some of the screen - in particular, the timelines - to occupy more of the screen. I use a dual monitor system and split the display over two screens, but it is not possible to extend the timelines vertically, so each property line can be seen clearer.

I would like to see ....

a way to add animation clips to billboards and props

a way to move and control particles like the actors (to place them just where you want)

a fade in and out control for actors and props (that can be controlled on the timeline)

Thanks

What I would love to see in the next GREAT version of Crazy Talk
1. The ability to cut and paste, unlink sound with puppet motion
2. Multiple face morphing on the same image
3. Some body puppet movement
4. Fade in / fade out
5. a way to turn on and off when you want voice associated with puppet or as some other sound. All in all, I am having such a GREAT time with Crazy talk.... Cool application
