Importing iAvatar (New for v8.1)

In addition to the 3D actors provided in the CrazyTalk Content Manager, you are also allowed to import characters in iAvatar format made with the iClone Character Creator tool, or default CC Characters in iClone. Thus, your anchor man in your CrazyTalk project can be much more varied, interesting and attractive.

Alternatively, the character can be created in the iClone Character Creator tool and then saved as an iAvatar.

For more contents, please visit the official Content Resources web page, in which:

ClosedNote:

Only CC Characters in iAvatar formats are compatible; any standard characters of G6, G5 or earlier generation, or non-standard, non-human characters are not supported.

ClosedImporting Free or Purchased iAvatars
  1. Create a new project in CrazyTalk (with or without actor).
  2. If you have installed iClone or any *.iAvatar packs, then go to the directory where they are stored.
    • iClone CC Character Directory by default: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Reallusion\Template\iClone 6 Template\iClone Template\Character\00_CC Character.
  3. Choose the desired template from the directory.
  4. Drag and drop the template onto the view port of CrazyTalk.
  5. The character will be imported and the current 3D actor (if any) will be replaced.
    ClosedNote:

    If the character contains any accessory, then the accessory will be removed before the character is imported.
