Character creation made easy!

By Dom Carter

Create, modify and animate Photoshop characters FIVE times faster with CrazyTalk Animator 3.2.

Animating just got quicker and easier with CrazyTalk Animator 3.2’s new PSD export function. With this tool, character designers can effortlessly move assets back and forth between Photoshop and CTA3. By doing so, you can adjust the look of your characters, experiment with image effects, and pose them with the help of specialist frameworks.

With the launch of CrazyTalk Animator 3.2 (opens in new tab), character designers and Photoshop users will find their work process become five times faster than if they didn’t use the software. This is because they’ll have access to the software’s new PSD character modification and PSD graphic design tools.

Creating a professional animation can be a long and difficult task. Even with the help of digital tools, designers and animators can find the whole process a chore that takes longer than it needs to. CrazyTalk Animator 3.2 (opens in new tab)makes animation faster and easier than ever.

CrazyTalk Animator (opens in new tab) is a 2D animation software that’s already won over a legion of fans in the creative community thanks to its simple animation tools that deliver amazing results. These tools include a motion library for humans and other creatures, templates that can turn any image into a 2D character, plus a range of props and scene elements that can be controlled just how you want.

The best complementary tool for Photoshop

With the ability to access PSD character modification, animators, video creators and graphic designers will be able to make use of visual enhancements such as textures, colours, and make-up editing. This opens up the possibility of creating truly unique looking character designs, complete with individual touches that you couldn’t deploy before.

Exporting to Photoshop allows for custom editing

With the capability to launch Photoshop and synchronise updates, CTA3 can send props or characters to Photoshop in layers for further custom editing. You can easily design clothes, alter colour shading, or apply filter effects to your animatable assets.

By using CTA3’s powerful pose and expression tools, designers can easily transform a single character to a full series of actors, each with different styles and gestures

Meanwhile the PSD export function will allow creatives to easily export PSD files from CrazyTalk Animator 3.2 to external tools such as Photoshop and other compatible tools. This will allow for better character modification options, as well as providing the opportunity to recreate a character pose and refine their overall look.

Customise your characters with different clothes and accessories

When used together, these tools mean that an animator, video creator or graphic designer can work five times faster than if they didn’t use CrazyTalk Animator 3.2.

Use framework tools to bring life to your images

These tools provide lots of opportunities across all sectors of graphic design and animation. Along with the other features on offer with CrazyTalk Animator, these additions will instantly bring an image, logo or prop to life. Users can apply effects themselves to get the perfect animation, or choose from a selection of motion templates to whip up movement in a matter of seconds.

Topped off with a powerful 2D bone editor rig that creates a realistic sense of movement and weight, plus facial puppets and audio lip-syncing tools, the hassle of creating an animation has gone out of the window thanks to CrazyTalk Animator 3.2. You can even try the tools before you buy, or upgrade in a matter of clicks on the CrazyTalk Animator homepage.
