CrazyTalk introduces a major feature - Auto Motions, which are the biggest
breakthrough in generating animations from your own voice strength;
with all sorts of animation styles, you can save a lot of time while increasing the realism
of your actor's motions.
Auto Motions are basically motion patterns that react to the voice. Once you apply an
audio file, CrazyTalk then utilizes two basic motion patterns for Talk
and Listen modes. You may also change to another pattern by applying different
templates from the library.
Load an audio file as the actor's voice and use the default auto motions
of Talk or Listen modes.
In the Content Manager, switch to the Auto Motion >> Functional or
Auto Motion >> Scenario libraries.
Double-click on the desired template to change the motion pattern.
Choosing an Ideal Auto Motion Template
In the Content Manager, there are two libraries that contain Auto Motion templates,
Functional and Scenario.
Functional Library: The templates in this folder trigger the actor
to do basic movements for head, body or eyeballs without facial expressions.
Scenario Library: The templates in this folder apply not only to the movements of
the head, body and eyes, but also add personality, usually with facial expressions, to the actor
which is suitable for specific situations or animation styles;
such as thinking in a study, being scared in a haunted house,
or singing a song on a stage.
Functional Library - Basic Movements
If you want the actor to do basic movements without facial expressions, such as head leaning back and forth, body moving left
and right, or actor stretching, then choose one of the templates from this library.
The actor talks with head moving forward and swinging motions
(Without facial expressions).
Scenario >> Human Sound, Talk and Sing Libraries - Active Auto Motions
In the Scenario library, the templates are categorized into different folders; for the active auto motions
with facial expressions, the templates are
put in the Talk, Sing and Human Sound folders.
You may then apply either of the template according to the context of the actor's voice.
