Test Your Skills with The Lazy Animator Beginner's Guide to Cartoon Animator Demonstration Project

If you have completed The Lazy Animator Beginner's Guide to Cartoon Animator and are in need of a project to help retain all your newly gained knowledge, without having to start from scratch, then this Demonstration 'draft' Project should do the trick.

The project comes with a suggestion sheet of potential 'upgrades' you could make that will test some of the skills you learned throughout the Beginner's Guide Course.

There's also a storyboard document so you can match 'suggested' camera shots if you wish (or you can make up your own).

All the character audio files (created with Replica Studios AI voices) are included should you need to reimport any dialogue into the project (or add your own dialogue if you sign up to Replica Studios for 30 minutes of free Text To Speech audio).

The Demonstration Project is still worth buying, even if you haven't bought the Beginner's Guide

Aside from being able to use it to test your own Cartoon Animator knowledge, it's the only place you can purchase side facing (315 degree) versions of my tutorial Business Man and Woman characters. As well it is the only place you can purchase the office scene I created for the Beginner's Guide without buying the Guide itself.

If you haven't purchased any of my tutorials and want the front facing version of my Business Man and Woman too, they are available, free, from my Reallusion Marketplace store.

Read full details, and play the project video in the product box below. Get creative and see just how much you can improve upon the 'draft' project.

How to Import Vector Images into Reallusion's Cartoon Animator (without Adobe Flash) and Apply Render Styles

Reallusion's Cartoon Animator 4 used to feature vector images more prominently for character and prop creation back when it was launched as CrazyTalk Animator 2 . So much so that they built into the application a Render Styles system that made it easy to recolor vector images if you took the extra steps to create vector color groupings for G2 vector characters and props. Unfortunately G2 Vector characters weren't the success story Reallusion hoped for, proving to be too difficult for the average user to make, and they also required Adobe Flash (now Animate CC) for which many users weren't willing to invest in a subscription. Since then CrazyTalk Animator 3 , and now Cartoon Animator 4 , have focused more on high resolution bitmaps to create quality characters and props, however the Render Styles system and support for vector images still remains. Reallusion Not Interested in SVG Support? The only vector file supported by Cartoon Animator is Adobe's SWF format which i

The Fastest Way to Rig a Character in Reallusion's Cartoon Animator - A How To Tutorial

One of the biggest hurdles for beginner animators, new to Reallusion's Cartoon Animator Studio , is learning how to rig their own character designs from scratch. While Reallusion has worked very hard to make the process easier it still can seem complex and overwhelming, particularly now that CA's flagship, G3-360 character rigs are being adapted to work with live motion capture and pre-animated 3D motion files. Fortunately, by combining some of CA4's newest features (G3-360 body rigs and Bone hands) with one of its oldest (Morph-based heads), newcomers can get into animating their own character quickly and easily. The Lazy Animator tutorial, The Fastest Way to Rig a Character in Cartoon Animator , uses just one custom character sprite, and takes, around an hour or so (once you're familiar with the process) to rig a relatively simple, but still quite versatile character. The course is presented as a 19 page PDF document, with just two steps per page and clear diagrammati
