I'm using Affinity Photo 2 and Affinity Designer 2, and at times using Clip Studio to create animated characters, props, and backgrounds. Part of the process to import pre-animated props is to save them as an image sequence, group them together, and export them as a PSD so that they can be imported into Cartoon Animator. With any of the Affinity and Clip Studio products, saving the image sequence files in a PSD, Cartoon Animator comes up with an error: Failed to create/update G3 character from PSD file. There are issues present, please see Error Log for more information. Please click Learn More for character creation details. PSD Flow Error If I import the PSD file, from Affinity or Clip Studio, to Photopea and re-export it out as a PSD, Cartoon Animator will read it just fine. I tried these many times under various PSD settings, with the same results. Is this an error due to Affinity as well as Clip Studio and the ability to save a PSD file so that Cartoon Animator can read, or is there a setting that needs to be made when exporting as a PSD?

Thanks for making the effort. Typically, they have a set of turning off certain masked layers but would still allow them to get exported to CrazyTalk. Both programs had recent updates, but still was having difficulty. I do seem to have it fixed now just by displaying the masked layers. It doesn't follow the character creation process for importing psd files into CrazyTalk, but it works for now.

The "Capture" pic shows how the pupils are not transferred in the export to CrazyTalk Animator. The "Capture2" pic is the display of the organization of the layers that are in Designer and are then exported to CrazyTalk Animator. Attached is the Designer file used. 16Demo.afdesign

I'm having difficulty with the latest version, 1.7.1.404, not exporting all of the layers of my current illustrations in a Photoshop format. I previously have exported the models in a Affinity Designer, import them in to Reallusion's CrazyTalk Animator to create a animation character. I had considered the possibility that the problem could be either the organization of my layers or CrazyTalk Animator, but found through testing and careful inspection that the results were coming from Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo.

I would like to put my two cents worth of requests in for an additional product that I see a great potential for, animation. Currently, there are many products for animation such as Toon Boom's Harmony, Moho, Adobe Animate, TV Paint Animation, and Blender's Grease Pencil. But none of these have the ability that Affinity has provided with combining the seamless workflow between the Affinity software. Applying Designer and Photo to an animation software would allow for the ultimate use of the animation creation process, simplifying the process, and provide the best workflow for anyone to achieve quick and polished work. Many of the above listed software have tools to create the vector and bitmaps, but most of them don't provide the abilities and ease that Affinity has.Thank you for listening.Paul IhmsSent from my iPhone

Ok. Fixed it. Windows had some hard drive error. Windows went through and fixed the error, now Affinity pulls up fine. Who would have known...

I even uninstalled and reinstalled each one, Photo, Designer, and Publisher with non working.

Is there a new issue with all of the Affinity software? I tried opening each one, the arrow spins and then stops, nothing pulls up. I tried shutting down and restarting, still the same. It worked yesterday, and all other software that I have works fine. No new changes since yesterday.
