Confused- Crazy Talk and Animator

Novica

Do these two programs do totally different things, 

CrazyTalk Animator 2 Pro Power Bundle   http://www.daz3d.com/crazytalk-animator-2-pro-power-bundle

CrazyTalk 7 Pro Power Bundle  http://www.daz3d.com/crazytalk7-pro-power-bundle-2-in-1

I'm trying to figure out (without any experience) if the Animator is for 2D and the 7Pro CrazyTalk does something completely different?

Do the two interact in any way?

Can either of these be used with iclone 6?

I'm researching this and there is a veteran user (wizaerd) who will explain his opinion of using the animator and Crazy Talk and iclone. You can go to the beginning of the thread to see the full evolving discussion. It is an older thread but still relevant so far as getting a bit of insight.

I've found this comparison chart http://www.reallusion.com/crazytalk/default.aspx As far as I can tell they are similar but CT7 is focused on the face and it does things CTA doesn't do. CTA does a few things CT7 doesn't do. I - who knows nothing thinks those things are relatively minor, why don't they just have one product? But then why charge someone once when you can charge them twice.

Sorry for double posting, not sure how you edit. It looks like to use animator with iclone you need the pipeline version of animator which is does not appear to be sold here

Not sure about that- it refers to version 1 and it might be built into version 2. Who knows at this point, lol.

This is SO stupid to have Animation forum blended with the Art Studio forum. The two are totally different and those people deserve their own forum. (We're happy to have them with us, but they are doing something with a totally different focus than us with static images.)  This kind of post should be in an Animation forum, but I felt if it were posted in Art Studio it wouldn't get seen by most people, and this is the main promo today.
