12th February 2008

The Reallusion Company has presented an updated version of CrazyTalk 5, a program designed for a wide range of people, both professionals in the field of animation and amateurs.
CrazyTalk will be useful to users involved in creation of videos, family photo albums and other multimedia projects.
CrazyTalk 5 allows reviving static photos, adding them with facial expression, speech, and, most important, all this in real time.
You only have to download a picture into CrazyTalk, select character points at the portrait, indicating the location of eyes, mouth and nose, outline face oval: the rest depends on our own fantasy.
You can make the person at the photograph talk, by moving his lips in the real way. The program has a library of movements corresponding to different emotions, with the help of which you can easily teach your virtual hero to smile or frown.
The special library of “virtual teeth” will help complete the image. The result of your work can be recorded write into a video file of various formats, or stored in the form of a flash-trailer, posted on a website, send via e-mail.
The program costs $50.
