The CrazyTalk actors loaded via the plug-in are basically static with facial expressions and voices. However, through the CrazyTalk API (CrazyTalk Application Programming Interface), you are able to manipulate the actor to move, talk, look at a target and enable many other behaviors by using different actor-related commands.
Please download the complete CrazyTalk API Documentation for reference.
Take the Demo Project as an example.
The characteristics of this project are:
- There are three changeable CrazyTalk actors.
-
Each actor has been given different scripts and idle motions.
- A control panel will display (as shown above) once you play the scene.
- Use the controls on the panel to call the API commands attached to the actors for manipulating them.
-
These controls and their behaviors are actually defined by a
JavaScript or C# files that is attached to the Main Camera.
Please refer to the sections below for more information about some basic examples of using the API commands to control the actors.
