![]() ![]() Don't worry if the bones don't line up but try to position your character's feet at the same level and position as the dummy character. Once you have all your images imported, keep the sprite replacement tool open and work on getting all the parts in the right position in relation to each other. The face sprite will be deleted when you create your morph based head. Note that you don't need to import the head sprites at this stage, other than the face sprite for reference. All you want to do is make sure your images are attached to the appropriate bones. Placement and size doesn't really matter at this point. To do this you simply place the appropriate G3 Human Dummy Character onto the CTA Stage, open the character in the Character Composer, select a bone you want to add/change a sprite on, then open up the sprite replacement tool to import your graphic of each body part. Importing Character Graphics Into CTA3 - Sprite Replacement MethodĪs there were only six graphical elements, I decided it would be quicker to use the character sprite replacement method rather than put everything into a G3 PSD template. Note that I could've just taken Mia's final character avatar directly into CTA but these extra steps were so she could have independent movable arms and better looking eyes. I used these characters to create a composite Photoshop file with six layers Front Hair, Back Hair, Face, Body, Right Arm, Left Arm. A 'naked' version so I could get an image of the head with no eyes.A version that gave me something to base the back of her head on.One that showed her with arms (because the outfit I wanted had her arms behind her back).I used the Oppa Doll app to create four avatars of my character that would help me set up my graphics including: Top: The four Avatars I created with OppaDoll.īottom: My Final Mia Graphic for CTA3 and how She's always been created using third party avatar building applications. Mia is one of my only recurring characters that I've never personally drawn my own version of. ![]() They travel through time and space, having adventures along the way. The three characters are basically my homegrown version of Doctor Who. Mia often appears in animations and comics with my TET avatar, along with a replica, fully sentient Star Wars droid of R2D2 (because I just thought it was a funny team up). For this article I decided to make a companion character to my TET Avatar, called Mia. The fastest way to create a character in CTA3 is to put a Morph-based head onto a G3 character body rig (don't worry if you're not familiar with those terms they'll be defined as I go). The creators of the app are not wrong when they say your character "will be the most adorable character in the world." I was so impressed by the quality of my finished character I was inspired to see how quickly I could turn it into an animated character using Reallusion's CrazyTalk Animator 3. So when I came across Oppa Doll for Android, a super cute Chibi avatar creation app I immediately went to work on creating my TET Avatar as a chibi character. I love a really good avatar creation app because it feeds my narcissism (I mean somebody has to take an interest me, right?).
