I am wanting to make G2 Characters for CTA3. I am looking at using Puppet Creator with Inkscape and am wondering if this is possible.
I am new to learning Inkscape although I have had it on my computer for many years and even have a book on it on my Kindle.
I am using version 0.92 64 bit with Windows7.
Any help or information will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Ken

What are G2 Characters, what is CTA3, what is Puppet Creator? Can you provide some links?
This question is asking for very specialized info - it would be helpful if you could break it down to what is required of Inkscape, because that is where our expertise lies.

G2 characters are the characters used in Crazy Talk Animation software by Reallusion.
Puppet Producer is a software by Tooontitans that provides a template to make the characters.
I was hoping that someone on here was familiar with them as Inkscape has been mentioned as a vector program that can be used.

You may need to wait some time until someone comes along who uses this. If you don't want to wait, try and provide as many relevant details as possible.

I have since found the answer that it won't work. The app was made for Adobe Animate and will only work there. Too bad because that is a subscription program.
-
Maybe we can help finding alternatives. What features are you looking for?

This project is turning into a nightmare. It seems that in order to make my own characters and put them into Crazy Talk Animator I would have to make a sprite sheet with every bone separate and labeled correctly and then put them into Crazy Talk Animator individually for each of 10 different poses.
Using the Puppet Producer and Adobe Animate I could put them all in with a few keystrokes. Of course by the time I get everything set up it would cost me around $500.
I don't have that kind of money.
I may just abandon the idea and go with what I have. I have already put around $200 into the project already.

It sounds like you must have tapped into some professional software, which is not really available for ordinary people - only the corporate animation business, which can afford it.
I tried searching for Puppet Creator and Crazy Talk Animation. I thought maybe I could find out what is needed, and then we would know if Inkscape could help. But I couldn't find either one. Do you have links? Do they have free trials, so we could investigate?
Certainly Inkscape can be used to make sprite sheets, though.
Possibly Blender could help - it's 3d modelling program (open source, and free).
