Characters Question (Storyline 360)

well, i'm guessing the answer must be no. 

Still no reply to this?  I thought this was one of the more simple questions.  :)

Hi Michael,

When you're using Storyline 360, you'll have access to a set group of the characters. 

The torso version is something you can easily accomplish by cropping the character. Here's a quick tutorial of how to do that.

Hope that helps! 

Just wondering why headshot and torso are no longer options when working with characters? I know we can crop them, but it's a lot of extra work when you're dealing with multiple characters and multiple states.

Also, why is the Expression option is grayed out in the Characters panel when I use photographic characters?

Thanks!

Thanks for contacting us to share your character questions. It looks like you're using Storyline 360 based on that image and I'm happy to help.

Why are headshot and torso no longer options when working with characters?

I cannot speak to the 'why', but you are correct. You can use the crop feature if you only need a headshot or torso shot of the character.

Did you know you can use the cropped version of your character for consistency in your course? Just copy, paste, and change the pose:

Why is expression grayed out in the characters panel for photographic characters?

The expressions are a feature limited to illustrated characters and that's why the option is not available for photographic characters.
