Can you import your own .jpg or .png characters to use in Motion Live 2d or can you only use CA characters?  If you can only use CA characters, are there only certain ones you can use?  I see that if you click on  you can only save or open .json files but if I convert a picture to .json, it still won't open. Also, is there any workaround for glasses?  If I take them off, I can't see what I'm doing but with them on, it can't track my eyes.  Any ideas?  
Thanks for your time.

Hi...

You can use custom characters with Motion LIVE 2D. These can be standard G3 characters or Free Bone characters. Morph based heads (created from photos)are also supported.

However, you will need to create your character first and save it into your content library. You can't just load a photo and use it with Motion LIVE 2D. It must be a working character you have created.

Regarding the glasses problem this can be tricky to fully resolve. If you can stop glare on the lens you can get quite reasonable results. It can also work if you lower the glasses onto the end of your nose and look over them while using the tracker. Then tilt your head back if you need to see to be able to click the controls.

Hi,
So This Is a Newb Question.  Can I Use Motion Link for Characters in CC4?

I Have It for Cartoon Animator, and I Have a iClone Version Too.  I Just Don't See It in Writing Anywhere.

Maybe I Need to Do the Motion Editing in iClone, and Then Pipeline the Character Into Creator?  Hmmmm

Thanks in Advance!
