Changing the Layer Order - Body Parts and Facial Features

In CrazyTalk Animator, each character is composed of body parts and facial features (sprites). Therefore, there is a certain layer order for them. You may change the order manually with the Character Composer, so that when the character scratches its head, the hand will be behind the head instead of being in the front of it. You may also use this method to stylize faces and hairdos.

Body and Head
Character hand order: Behind the head	Character hand order: Above the head

Hair and Face
Hair order: Above the head	Hair order: Behind the head
