Specifying Idle Settings

When a conversation happens in CrazyTalk, you may have the mute model sway or breathe rather than being all stiff and still. Every model can have its individual idle motions, which can make your story more life-like.

1. Select the model you wish to assign idle motions to in the Model page.

2. Click the Model Motion Settings button. The Model Motion Settings panel displays.

   

• Check the Idle Motion checkbox and select the desired motion from the drop-down list. The motion is used when the model is silent or in standby mode.

  Note that if you are in the Script page, you may also turn on/off the standby motion of the selected model by pressing Ctrl + L.

• Adjust the Head Motion Strength slider to adjust the intensity of head movements.

• If you have a custom motion clip, you may use it as your standby motion:

  1. Select ...[Custom] item in the Idle Motion drop down list.

     

  2. You are prompted with an Open File dialog. Select the desired motion clip.

  3. Click Open to apply it as the standby motion.

• Click the Preview button to preview the head motion. If the motion is not as desired, you can adjust the Head Motion Strength slider or tune the facial feature points again.
