Hi, I am looking into creating avatars (not 3d photo characters like crazy talk etc.) for our instructors. The avatars should be able to animate like reading, blinking, hand gestures, etc... I would really appreciate if someone would like to share some ideas, software, or applications that can do this.
Some application I found has their own avatars or characters. But I would like to create new characters or avatars using our instructor's faces.
You can do this with Vyond. Vyond's Business Friendly and Whiteboard styles include a character creator that you can use to design custom avatars that resemble your instructors.
Yes, but you need to create all of the animation in Vyond, export to video, then import the video to Storyline. I've used Vyond video in Storyline and Rise. Here's a demo I put together in Storyline by importing Vyond videos to separate slides then adding interactivity and navigation.

Hi Elizabeth, Thank you so much for your reply!
Can we import the customized avatars to Storyline 360?
Thanks again,

Hi Elizabeth, that is awesome. Thank you for your support.
Keep in mind there are copyright laws involved when using Vyond content in Storyline (or any other program).
If you've shelled out for the Adobe Creative suite, you could try out Adobe Character Animator.
