This is another big time-saving improvement as you don't have to go back over the whole process to try a new character out. G3 characters in CTA3.1 can also be swapped out while you are in Stage Mode. This is my favorite new addition to the program The process is slightly complex, but once you do it the first time succeeding efforts are much easier and faster in CTA 3.1.

I also found that being able to save facial parts of your character for use on other characters to be a valuable time-saving addition to the program.

Note that PSD files from Photoshop, AFFINITY, Xara, CLIP STUDIO PAINT and KRITA are fully supported by CTA 3.1 Once this is done, you are ready to animate. You do this by placing the the characters body parts into their corresponding folders. The key new addition in CrazyTalk Animator 3.1 is the ability to import PSD files for characters you've created and then animate them inside of the program. It's literally 3 clicks and you've got an animated scene. That's one of the reasons why CTA 3.1 is so much fun. If you just want to set up a scene, toss in a character and start animating, Reallusion provides tons of content and character motions to do this. There are a couple different workflows in using CTA 3.1 depending upon what you are trying to accomplish.

It's easy to expand and contract areas in the program in order to work specifically within one feature. The tabs change the content manager window to fit the type of content you are looking for: project, actor, animation, scene and sfx. You have a main staging window, a timeline at the bottom and the content manager on the right laid out in tabs.
