Hi,

I like to create an interactive animation which displays a car and allows users to find out details about the car by typing a query (i.e. show me engine, or interior) and the specific part of the car animates an action, say the the bonnet opens and the engine starts.

1) How can you do this with animator?

2) How can you integrate the above interactive animation with Flash so the text box is written in actionscript and can control the interactivity i.e. which animation sequence to run?

thanks
zard

Hi Zard

It isn't really possible to do what you require with CrazyTalk Animator alone I'm afraid. You could use output from CTA along with another product called WidgetCast which allows for user interaction.

Unfortunately it may not meet your requirements fully though as it doesn't allow live text input which you mention as an example. You can find out all about WidgetCast HERE. A trial version is available if you would like to see what it can do.

Thanks. I had a look at widgetcast and not sur eif it is the right tool.
iClone4 seems a little more promissing with its iProps and ability to interact using awsd keys. Do you kno wmuch about iClone 4 and integration with Flash?
