Reddy the Color Monkey. My new CrazyTalk Animator 3, G3 Character, Reddy the color monkey is both finished and still a work in progress. Previously I thought I might have a demonstration animation completed for this post but, after receiving some sought after feedback on Reddy with some very good suggestions I decided to refine him even further. Most of the changes were to the line work around his joints so when his limbs move the join is less obvious and looks more natural.

The process is even quicker if you have the Pipeline edition of CTA3 and take advantage of the supplied Photoshop templates and import feature. If you have the Pro edition you'll have to import your character art sprites in manually to one of the G3, Human, Dummy Templates. In my example I'll be using this Casual Girl character  (pictured) from VectorCharacters.net -
