Publishing Projects to a Web Browser (New for 7.3)

In the preview process below, you may optionally assign a specific idle motion to your actor when the project is idling.

1. Click the Export button. In the Export Settings panel, switch to the Share tab.
   
2. Click the Show Content Manager button to switch to the Content Manager and Auto Motion libraries.

   Note:

   You may click the Idle Motion field to directly switch to the Idle Motion library.

3. Optionally drag and drop a desired Idle Motion anywhere inside the Export Settings panel so that you can have a specific idle motion when the project is idling.
   

   Note:

   Currently, the extra Auto Motion is not yet supported so you can ignore it after publishing your project to the web, as you cannot record sound or import any audio files to web browsers.

4. The corresponding box will then be automatically checked and show the name of the content as well. You may decide whether to upload the chosen content by enabling or disabling the checkbox.
   
5. Choose the playback length by typing the range in the fields or directly dragging the red triangles on the play bar. The maximum length of each project is 30 seconds (30 frames per 1 second).
6. Preview your project before sharing to a web browser. Connect to the Internet and click the Web Preview button to open the browser window (must support Unity engine) and view the animation results with the CrazyTalk Web Player. You will need to install the Unity web player in your computer for this. Then playback to view the project.

   The assigned idle motion automatically starts acting before you playback the project. You can move the mouse over the screen to interact with your actor anytime. If the cursor stops moving for about two seconds, then the actor will resume back with the idle mode.

   Note:

   The above-described Web Preview Mode requires an internet connection. If your computer is not connected to the Internet, then you can press the "Ctrl" key for PC (Command ⌘ key for Mac) while clicking the Web Preview button to enter the Offline Preview Mode. However at the moment, you need to connect to the Internet at least once in order to preview the project successfully, before you can use the Offline Preview Mode to playback the project or interact with your actor.

1. If you are satisfied with the preview result, click the Upload button in the Export Settings panel. Then give the project a name and add a description to it.
   

   Note:

   The thumbnail shown on the screen will be the one you see later on the web. You may use a specific actor expression in the project to replace the current thumbnail. Close the Export Settings panel to go back to the last step. Pause your project at a time frame where you want the appearance to be captured as a thumbnail. Click the Upload button in the Export Settings panel again. The thumbnail on the screen will then be changed to your custom one.

2. Next, decide whether you want to upload the project to the trial or member cloud space. Click the Upload button to upload and store the project with your member account, or click the Trial button to upload the project and experience for free.
   
3. When the uploading is done, you can share the project to social networking sites or web pages.

   Publishing to Social Networking Sites

   In the Share URL tab, click the icons of the popular social networking sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Tumblr, or Blogger, to publish your project and have fun with your family and friends. Alternatively, copy the URL address (http://app2.reallusion.com/player.aspx?id=**********) shown in the Share URL tab to the clipboard, then paste the address onto the Facebook wall or web pages of Twitter, Google+, Tumblr, or Blogger. Note: You may click the Manage Assets button to manage all the projects that you have uploaded to the private cloud space. Please refer to the Viewing Projects on a Web Browser section for more information.

   Publishing to Web Pages

   In the Embed Code tab, optionally adjust the embed size of the project to be displayed on the web, then copy the HTML source code shown to the clipboard. Note: You can define the project size in the Embed Size drop-down list. Select either a standard size 800x600 or 640x480, or define a custom size in a fixed ratio. You may click the Manage Assets button to manage all the projects that you have uploaded to the private cloud space. Paste the source code from the clipboard into the web pages in Asp, Html, or Xml file format to embed your project. You may then show your actor along with the project on the Internet.
