However this doesn’t always produce the desired results when characters are of a different proportion to what a particular motion was designed for.
One of CrazyTalk Animator’s key time saving features is the ability to create and save motion files for reuse with many different characters. CrazyTalk Animator 3’s IK constraints checkbox is expanded with more options in Cartoon Animator 4. For my own work this feature alone will make it even easier to create custom cartoon squash-&-stretch style motions, and to properly anchor a character within their environment for more realistic interaction.
It also gives you options to stretch limbs while they are being constrained.ĬrazyTalk Animator 3 already has IK constraints in a very limited way (as a single checkbox on the 2d Character Motion Editor), Cartoon Animator expands this into an entire graphical user interface with more constraint options. The general process involves locking character limbs such as hands and feet into place, constraining the rest of the character rig to movement based upon which limbs have been locked. Smart Inverse Kinematic/Forward Kinematic SystemĬartoon Animator 4 includes a new Inverse Kinetic/Forward Kinetic Graphical User Interface that specifically makes it easier to get your characters realistically interacting with their environments. These features will be a real benefit in making the process of character animation much easier. CrazyTalk Animator 3 makes character animation easy with its G3 range of character rigs that can be imported directly from artwork created using Photoshop character templates.Ĭartoon Animator 4 will have all of the features of CrazyTalk Animator 3 as well as bringing plenty of new tools that will make classic cartoon style character animation so much easier and even more intuitive. However my real passion is character animation, specifically seeing my own cartoon characters come alive.
