Generating Unity Assets from CrazyTalk

To generate Unity compatible assets (actors and motions) from CrazyTalk, follow the steps below:

1. Make sure your CrazyTalk 7 has been updated to 7.31 or above version and the CrazyTalk Interactive Plug-in has been installed as well.
2. Create a CrazyTalk project with actors, voices and motions.

   Note:

   Please refer to the CrazyTalk Online Help for more information about the details of creating a performing actor.

3. Export the assets in accordance with your needs:

   Method 1: Exporting Interactive Assets from Menu and Panels

   If you want to export the current project only, then you may follow the steps below; otherwise, you can do the batch export with the Content Manager as described in Method 2: Click the Interactive button on the tool bar to open the panel. Alternatively, you may access the panel by the menu, Interactive >> Export Interactive Assets. Adjust the settings in the Exporting Interactive Assets panel before exporting the assets mentioned in the previous section. Note: Please refer to the Exporting Interactive Assets Panel Introduction section for more information about the settings in the panel. Click the Export button to export assets. Note: In accordance with the settings in the panel, the asset files you can get are: Project (*.uctproject) Actor (*.uctmodel) Idle Motion (*.uctidle) Script (*.uctscript) Motion Clip (*.uctmotion) The prefix "u" in the extension names means the assets are CrazyTalk formats dedicated for use with the Unity Player.

   Method 2: Batch Exporting from the Content Manager

   CrazyTalk Interactive Plug-in also provides a batch exporting method for you to quickly export multiple assets at once via the Content Manager. It is fast in terms of exporting large amounts of content, however you can not adjust any export settings for the assets as in the Method 1 section: Execute Interactive >> Quality Settings. Choose the radio buttons to determine the quality for the files about to be batch exported. Switch to one of the content libraries listed below in the Content Manager (in this case, the Project template library). Note: The libraries with the content that can be batch exported are: Project (template or custom libraries) Actor >> 01_Model (template or custom libraries) Auto Motion >> 03_Idle (template or custom libraries) Voice Script >> Script >> Sample (template library) Voice Script >> Script (custom library) Motion Clip (template or custom libraries) Select one or more template files. Right click on either of the selected files to show the right-click menu. Choose the command, Export Interactive Assets, in the menu. Browse the exported assets with the system browser.
