I've used Crazytalk for years (and years and years). I'm interested in the possibility of doing facial and shoulder animations with the Face3D Tracker and Motion Tracker (my apologies if I'm getting the names wrong). But try as I might, I can't get the demo to map my reasonably symmetrical face. At this point, I believe you have to be in Cartoon Animator (why, oh, why not Crazytalk?) and you need to have the two supplemental plug-ins working. BUT, being new to Cartoon Animator, I can't figure out how to open or create a face (unlike Crazytalk) or how to like that face to the input from the plug-ins.
Mind you, I don't need to fully understand everything yet: I just want to try it out to see if I should buy it - after which I can learn the detailed stuff. So...
•What apps and plug-ins do I need?
•And special order when turning them on?
•Is there a demo face/head I can work with and, if so, where would I find it?
•With the Face3D tracker on, it shows my face and the marker spots - but I can't figure out how to map that to a character face.
I've combed the demos and tutorials and none of them quite tell me how to do this (in part because I'm on a Mac, and many of the tutorials are showing the Windows interface). Also, I have to use the webcam as I don't have an iPhone. Any help would really be appreciated! Thanks!
