Hello
I'm now trying CTA2 Demo, but I have a problem that I can't find a solution about it on the help.
Please tell me how to create my own multi-demention character.
I found a button to load G2 actor templete SWF, but I don't know how to create a SWF data.
What is "naming rule" ?
Can I make a character with a paint soft like "Photoshop"?
Please help me.

However for creating multi-dimensional characters we are preparing a whitepaper on the process. This will explain all and should be available in the next day or so.

On CTA1 I had the problem of jerkiness between motion clips, I could never fixed this, now on CTA2 trial, I see the same problem of jerkiness between one motion clip and another. Is there a fast easy fix for this? I've tried 'time warpping' to my heart's content with no hope..
This single problem is what will determine weather I buy CTA2 pipeline or not.
Can anyone help me?

Can someone explain how to get all the content I just bought for CTA1 on to CTA2? I just bought all the powertools packages and dont know how to add them to the content library in CTA2.
ALso, I am new to this. By getting the CTA pipeline version, does this mean I no longer need CTA1?
Very confused newbie!

Very confused newbie!You can just install the content packs again and you will be prompted if you wish to install to CTA1 or CTA2. Just select CTA2 this time and you will have the packs in both versions. It is entirely up to you if you wish to remove CTA1 from your computer. They can both be installed without issue. Overall CTA2 can do everything CTA1 can (some features in different ways) plus a lot more, so once you master CTA2 you will probably find you won't need CTA1 any longer.

maxomax, hi. In CTA1, this was accomplished by dragging out left end of animation clip in timeline. This does not seem possible in CTA2 unless I'm missing something. I just re-introduced the question about blend in the Forum, wondering if this is now accomplished by using Time Warp between clips (?).

I tried to install the CTA1 content pack and I could not, I could not even re-installed any of my previously installed contents, it displays a unknown registration number, it tells me the serial number has not been registered the number its:27q8m83en5eve242df7422 and I cannot download anything including previous marketplace lists????

This may seem a silly question, but based on what I'm reading Adobe Flash is the ONLY acceptable program for the pipeline template?
|
|
By AverageJoe - 11 Years Ago

Technically, it could be anything that can create a layered SWF file. But it wouldn't surprise me if Adobe Flash was the only app, it's not an uncommon practice. I believe Peter said there'd be a DrawPlus template eventually.

I hope for a drawplus template soon. My initial purchase of cta1 was with a drawplus bundle & I cannot find a downloadable flash.

Iv'e tried to create a character of my own in flash following the whitepaper but although I changed all the characters parts from the 0 view when I imported it as a swf into crazytalk animator 2 (importing the dummy character first etc) none of my characters vector shapes are showing....I think I might have to wait for the video tutorial in January.
|
|
By niceblinkluck - 11 Years Ago

OK...I've finally got the vector body parts to appear in my inported crazytalk character...but when i tried a walk cycle... parts of the arms dissapear....so im still doing something wrong...what????

|

By niceblinkluck - 10 Years Ago

That used to happen to me at first...but then I took my time and followed the instrucrions on the whitepaper ...I also checked each sprite I changed one at a time in Animator 2

Im still getting odd vector shapes that don't show up when opened in animator 2 ...most of them are there....and I don't think im doing anything different...the lower torso I managed at angle 0 but the other angles it doesn't show up...very frustrating.

Hi all. I want to shoot a dancer in real life against a green screen, then convert the moving image to a popvideo file, and then import that dancing person into Crazytalk Animator 2, BUT, once in CTA2, I then want to replace the human figure with a CTA2-generated figure.
Is that possible?
I've checked through the various CTA2 tutorials and I know that I can move a popvideo image into CTA2, but I can't figure out if I can then replace that image with a CTA2.
Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks!

I know this seems very simple, but I am trying to have a character pick up an object, but I am brand new to the program, so I am missing something. I move the character to the object and link the object to his hand, but it does not pick it up. I am missing a step or something. I have looked at the videos and manual. Still not working.
|
|
By jlittle - 9 Years Ago
|
Once you link the object to the hand it should follow the hand whenever it moves.
1) Click on the prop to select it.
2) Then click on the Link button
3) Now move the cursor over the hand until you see a blue box around the hand.
4) Click the hand.
To test to see if it is linked just move the arm and the prop will follow the arm movement.

Hello,
I work for a company that just bought CTA2 Pro, I am trying to import a character from another program, but can't figure out how to do. I saw in a youtube video that this was a possibility. Was I wrong?
|
|
By jlittle - 8 Years Ago

You can not import a complete "Character" from another program unless it was CTA1.
The character format is proprietary to RL and is not used (or exported by) any other program.
What is it that you are trying to import?

I've downloaded crazytalk animator 2.1 pipeline but everytime I open it, it always says that the serial number is invalid. What should I do? I'm really in a hurry now and this makes me frustrated. please help. thank you so much!

Your best bet it to put a ticket in with support.
Also check your RL account to make sure that your serial number usage is not over the limit.
If you re-installed the software without uninstalling it will increment your usage count.
Uninstalling the software automatically decrements your usage count.
You can reset the usage count in your RL account if needed.
