Introducing the Model Page

The Model page in CrazyTalk provides the starting point of the application. The interface features tools for image selection, image processing, wire frame fitting, profile style setting, standby motion, background mask editing, and background with camera movement. Once you select an image to be used as the model, you can use the image processing tools to enhance the quality of the image. You can then use the fitting tools to fit a wire frame to the image. This creates the talking image which can then be animated with a script along with gestures and expressions for creating a talking message. CrazyTalk provides 9 types of profiles to fit the models according to their characteristics. Changing the background image and specifying if the image moves along with the camera or the movement of the model is simpler than ever.
