Get Started Quickly with CrazyTalk Animator 3
CrazyTalk Animator 3 has a deceptively simple but logical user interface allowing you to learn where everything is quickly and enabling much of your animation to be completed by dragging and dropping content into place. No drawing skills are necessary to get started as you can make use of the included content library of characters, props, backgrounds and more, which can be extended with purchases from Reallusion’s Content Store and Content Marketplace.
Elastic Motions Bring Business Animations to Life
Ease of use comes into its own when creating animated motion graphic explainer videos for business or education. Graphics can be made to feel more alive using CrazyTalk Animator 3’s elastic motions, which add dynamic movement, inspired by traditional squash-and-stretch animation techniques. Create complete animated sequences simply by drag and dropping elastic motion files onto your props.

See how easy it is for yourself, and consider creating a short motion graphic explainer video for the Animation@Work competition.
Easy, Time Saving, Comic Animation Tools for Non-Animators
For character animators, illustrators, or cartoonists CrazyTalk Animator 3 has all the tools needed to bring characters to life through puppet rig and sprite switching/deformation style animation. Time saving features include pre-animated motion files, automatic lip syncing, sprite deformation, and real time facial puppeteering. Save even more time by purchasing characters, suitable for almost any production, from Reallusion’s Content Store or Content Market place (for example, try adding characters to your explainer animation projects for even more viewer engagement).
CrazyTalk Animator 3’s new G3 series characters are especially flexible due to their Photoshop (.PSD) file integration. Customize individual body sprites of existing characters, or design full character rigs using Photoshop templates that are imported directly into CrazyTalk Animator. (Photoshop integration also extends to prop creation with the ability to import and animate multi-layer PSD files).
G3 characters can be created relatively quickly so if you have your own original characters that you’ve always wanted to bring to life, use CrazyTalk Animator 3 to put them in a short story or humorous sketch and enter your work into the cartoon storytelling category of the Animation@Work competition.

Saving time in the production of motion graphics and character animation makes CrazyTalk Animator 3 an ideal tool for YouTubers needing to create a high volume of animated content. Import live video and enhance it with animated motion graphic overlays or you could even use it to create scenes where animated characters interact with real people.
