Applying Character Motions from Content Manager

If you want to quickly animate Cartoon Animator G3 human characters with certain motion patterns, then the iClone Content Manager can be used to achieve this goal. With numerous motion templates provided, you can easily apply the motions onto dummy characters and use them to drive the CTA characters to move synchronously.

  1. Establish a link between iClone and Cartoon Animator with Motion Link Plug-in.
  2. Assign iClone Motion Link profiles to the character's body and hands in CTA Motion LIVE 2D.
  3. In iClone, open the Content Manager and switch to the character's Motion Library; you will see many sub-folders in which numerous motion templates are ready to be applied.
  4. Apply one or more motion templates to the dummy character.
  5. Enter the Sending Motion mode. The CTA character will instantly perform the pose of the dummy character.
  6. Press the Space bar to preview. The CTA character will be synchronously driven to animate as well.
  7. You can then record the character's motions to timeline tracks in Cartoon Animator.
