I'm completely okay on waiting and understand server issues arise, I just hope we could possibly be given an extra day to participate, since there is a lot of issues hindering us. I really would like to try out the software. :)

Alexa ,
I had no problems downloading. I have Cox and was getting approx 3 mps + download speeds. I was able to download both files after registration. I only wish GOTD would have just offered to download the "Readme" file only because in that text file gives you the link in which to establish an account via registration. After that has been done, reallusion takes you to a page which has two files to download at very fast speeds. On that very same page, it also has your registration code. Best thing to do is to do a quick copy and paste of that info into a text file. GOTD can't handle large downloads like this. At best, I get only about 300 kbs download speeds. That is no good. It's the only thing about GOTD I don't like.

I have a high speed broadband connection. Still took 33 minutes to complete download. After that the unzip never completed as it went fairly fast at the beginning to 83% complete. Then unzipping came to a halt to 0 Kb/s. Then back to around 750 Kb/s, then 0 Kb/s. It keep pausing at 0 Kb/s then jump to some higher value for several minutes. I simply got tired of this and canceled unzip operation.
Thought that would end quickly. Nope. Unzip window stayed present for minutes. Tried just closing it with usual method: Red X in corner. Locked computer not allowing any activity except mouse cursor movement. I have 6 GB of Ram and 2 very fast (3 GHz+) processors. Had to just shut down with power switch and turn back on.
Worse experience I have ever had with a GAOTD offer. Never tried again with this "free" giveaway so never will be able to tried it. Thanks for nothing this time GAOTD. Taught me a lesson here to quit expecting good things on these programs you offer. Too bad you don't do what was suggested and provide the ReadMe.txt file to read for instructions and email any updates to those who are trying the programs should developers make quick improvements when people start having problems. Then maybe you don't keep up with the complaints in real time and letting us know quickly just is not viable for you because it is time consuming.

What a waste of time. I followed all of the instructions including the effort at correction indicated by RR at the beginning of these comments, and I have been unable to get the serial number.

Was interested in this program. However, I am not going to wait 2 hours late at night to download it. I have learned that if I initially have technical issues with a program it is a good idea to pass. Sorry, I pass....

The download speed is so gated that it takes over 2 hours to download. Not so good.

Way to many hoops to jump through for those of us with slow internet connections when compounded by super slow downloads. Something that should have took an hour from beginning of download to full set up taking almost 12 hours by the time you get the 2.14 version and learn you have to go through even more downloading to get the patch and bonus. Then to top it off it said I had to uninstall my registered 2.14 version to install the newest version. Doing it only because I have been needing something like this for a long time. But... I am really not happy with reallusions bells and whistles. I don't mind registering or giving my email and name, etc. But just how many hoops do they expect makes this worth their time to offer in giveaway of the day to build their list and advertise their other products????? What really stinks is I started this before noon and now have 45 minutes to try to get it to finish and am still waiting for the re-install to actually finish before I can do the rest. Could very easily lose out on this at midnight. Then I will go from frustrated to downright pissed off about the time wasted and won't hesitate to share the horror tale to others.

When I got the serial number I also was presented with two links for download.
I used one of them and got version 2.14.2103.1 (and not 2.15). Why is that?
Is there any diffence? Can I afterwards install the exe from GOTD over the previous installation and use the same serial number again, or will I just lose the free gift in that case? And, in the first case, must that be done within the GOTD time limit (5th january 2017), or not?

Thanks for this offer. It is a large program but I have played around with Crazy Talk older versions and enjoy creating my own characters. You offer step by step training videos also to help users learn your software. My first interest in this type of application was from yearly subscription to JibJab. Now I can do this on my own using subject and schemes of my choice. It came in very handy around the holidays.

I downloaded it this morning since I knew it was such a large program, so by the time I came home, it was done.

Charles Brotman, Look at post #1 from ouialaraison
He wrotes: In case you already have CrazyTalk and are wondering:
CrazyTalk and CrazyTalk Animator are two different programs by Reallusion. CrazyTalk produces 3D animated and talking heads while CrazyTalk Animator produces 2D animated and talking characters (or heads) moving in 3D.
Save | Cancel
Charles Brotman, This is Crazy Talk Animator, which is a companion product to the Crazy Talk software that was offered here a while back. The two apps are completely independent from each other, so you don't need to have Crazy Talk (standard or pro version) installed in order to use this app.
I've been having a blast playing around with Crazy Talk 7, and I can hardly wait to see how this animator app works.
We've come a long way from the days when Walt Disney would have to hire a gaggle of (really good) artists to hand-paint each and every gel for his animated features - which was no small task - especially when you consider that the frame rate for celluloid film projection was 24 frames per second. Thus, a 90 minute feature film would require that 5,400 hand-painted cels first be individually created, and then photographed one frame at a time! (If you notice, the old Disney classics had very little repetitive elements in them) Then the audio track had to be mastered, mixed and synchronized by hand to match the movements of the film's subject, especially the character's lips which had to be in sync with the speech , background music, etc.
That's why it took years to make a single animated feature!
It's great that nowadays we have such creative power at our fingertips, and today is even better since we don't even have to pay for it! Thank you so very much, Reallusion, for offering one of your premiere products to us today. I hope your servers are holding up under the crush that I know they're experiencing as a result of this giveaway.
Happy and prosperous New Year to all!

Thanks to Bojing for the great tip. I would of had to of waited over 4 hours for the GOTD download to complete. Provided some info (e-mail, password, name, etc.), confirmed account, and downloaded both the 479 MB setup and the 175 MB bonus pack in under a minute.
This is a comparison chart for version 3, but I figure it would be a good guide to see what is offered in the Standard version.

On a side note, did anyone else receive 22 replies from no-reply@reallusion.com after completing form?
Thank you GOTD Team and Reallusion. I have never used animation software before, but I figure since animation software is not giving away very often, I will definitely keep this one.

Okay, installed the program, the update, and the bonus pack. But I don't know what to do with the free animated gif pack. It's a zip file that, after unpacking, it just sits in a folder in downloads and doesn't install. I'm sure there must be a folder in the program itself where these animated gifs should be extracted, but it's not apparent to me. Any clues out there?
Save | Cancel
Injeun,
If you look at comment 18, there is a link given. Go there - to Reallusion's site, and after logging in (or creating an account), you can download from there. It's a LOT faster. It also has the bonus pack but it downloads as an exe and you just click it, and it installs itself to the animator. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Diana,
I tried that but it failed and wants a serial number every time.

Mari,
If you look on the bottom of the page at Reallusion where it has the two download links for the crazytalk program and the bonus pack, right below that is a long number broken up. That is your registration serial number. Give it a whirl. :)
Save | Cancel
Injeun, there are two different things: the patch and the bonus pack are executables which self install in CT when you double click them.
The pack of animated GIFs can probably be stored wherever you want in your PC and seems to be accessible by browsing from the content manager inside the program (on the right side of the window), but so far I haven't been able to figure out exactly how to insert one of these GIFs in a project.
Save | Cancel
ouialaraison, Thank you. I will store them in an obvious place, maybe in the crazy talk program folder.

After about 30 min of playing around this crazyT... I can say, it's not very intuitive, you need to dig a bit in the help page to do something. I can't recommend it to average Joe who might want to do a short animation for his kid birthday.

I just wanted to add, that it's strange that we are asked "How would you improve CrazyTalk Animator Standard 2.15 ?" when this is a 3 years old version and 3.02 is the current one.
