How are others making cartoon like animated characters in Storyline?
I was reviewing some previous eLearning Challenges and noticed that some designers are using advanced animations that look like a cartoon. These characters move freely with their entire body, arms, legs, and facial expressions. The backgrounds of the slides change and plants move etc. How are they doing this?
Hi Sarah! I suspect you might be seeing examples that use a third-party cloud-based app called Vyond. That tools allows you to produce animations as mp4 files, that play like a video would in Storyline. Something like this?

Thank you Jonathan! I will check out Vyond. Have a great day!
