Anyone have good resources for character sets (animated preferred) that work well in 360? Free resources are great, but my team also has a small budget to buy a license if needed (~$375 annually).
Any ideas or options you have would be greatly appreciated!
Their assets are fine, I suppose if you like the character styles. They do give the source files to be animated and customized which most don't. If you need more characters than what comes with Articulate 360's content library you could try E-learning Art.
I usually go to deposit photos and search for a character and they usually have multiples. Then I only need to buy want I want.
As an FYI, AppSumo often runs these specials on Deposit Photos which are a great deal when they come by. You pay pennies for images. Unfortunately, they just had one end, but you can sign up so you get alerted when they offer it again.
Something like this may work for you. https://graphicmama.com/character-animator-puppets
You'd need to animate them, but depending on the animations required, you could probably hire a freelancer on UpWorks or Fiverr who could do the simple animations quickly.
thanks Tom...we do not currently use animation in our courses, so the characters can be static...would you still recommend this resource?
What I like about a broader stock image site like Deposit Photos is that you get better contextual images rather than just static characters.
+1 for the eLearning Art library. I've been using their "Designer Realistic" illustrated avatars for courses. I like that the images are available as vectors, so I can easily edit and tweak the images. They're static images, but they work really well for my clients.
