I see CrazyTalk as a kind of middle ground between being limited to rendering 2d static images only, and the complexities of animating a MH character in a sophisticated program like Blender. It took me about a week of watching video tutorials and playing with the software to become comfortable with basic operations.

It's all just point and click, and there's no arcane nerd stuff involved. It's main value seems to be that it's free or cheap, and pretty darn easy to use. IDEA: You could create a pretty involved movie by creating clips of numerous MH characters talking, and then combining the clips in to a full movie in your video editor.ĬrazyTalk creates talking heads, so it's not a full animation solution for sure. This is no problem for a MH character obviously. This allows CrazyTalk to do the animating. That is, subject should be looking directly in to camera with a dead pan expression, no smiles. TIP: A limitation of CrazyTalk is that you have to feed it neutral images. I didn't find the new features compelling, but you might. This adds 3d features that may have appeal. Or, you can buy the latest version CrazyTalk 8 for $49. Contact support and ask for a free copy, and hope for the best. I did so because you may be able to get it for free as I did. I've linked to a demo vid for CrazyTalk 7, an older version of the program. Here's a sales demo video of the CrazyTalk program, which can be used to create animated talking heads of any 2d image, including a render or screenshot of your MakeHuman characters.
