![]() ![]() ![]() I got to thinking, could I do the same thing with GoAnimate's Comedy World characters? ![]() Having recently purchased Crazy Talk Animator Pro I noticed how that software creates a lot of character actions by creating front and three quarter view 'puppets' out of similarly drawn views of your characters. ![]() Which is not especially good for creating Superhero stories like my Bat Storm Series. However what I don't like is the limited range and very wooden movement of the characters. Despite the limited number of costumes I still get a kick out of using the Comedy World Character Creator to create new characters for my animations. We last covered GoAnimate back in Feburary, when the site announced it had gotten the rights to include Star Trek (it also has Street Fighter and a few other franchises).My favorite GoAnimate character set theme is Comedy World. The process isn’t as intuitive as I’d like, but it doesn’t take too long to get the hang of it. You can also incorporate images and sound effects, as well. The animations all look smooth, and you can put everything together using the timeline at the bottom of the screen. You can also make them move around, be it by walking, running, or sliding. Once you’ve created your characters and placed them in your virtual set, you can choose from a variety of facial expressions and actions that each character can perform. The rest of the characters came from the library of templates created by GoAnimate’s designers - they’re supposed to be Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and my boss, Michael Arrington (I find the resemblance to be pretty bad on that one, but there are plenty of characters that do fit their celebrity counterparts). I spent more time than I’d care to admit playing around with the character builder, building what is proabably an overly flattering version of myself (the pale guy in the picture below talking with Spock). But once I had it figured out, I found GoAnimate to be quite fun. To be honest, I had some trouble figuring out how to use some of the app’s features - some of the UI design is a little confusing. ![]()
