At first I thought it might be because I don't have Adobe Flash installed on my desktop - my laptop has an old version of Flash installed - but the command line version worked perfectly on my desktop PC.

The Windows GUI version worked without any issues on my laptop however, on my desktop PC, while it installed fine, it would not open any images. If the GUI Version Fails, the Command Line Version Should Work

I highly recommend using the GUI Windows version, if you can get it running - even through an emulator on a Mac or Linux - as it is the simplest option, and you'll be able to experiment with other Kvec functions (like trace bitmaps and export them as vector images).

Other versions for Mac and Linux are command line only. The Windows version has both a graphical user interface (GUI) and a command line version. Kvec by KK Software, as mentioned is freeware. It's not SVG but most vector drawing apps (including the free app I use, Inkscape) can export illustrations as WMF files since it's a format that has been around for years. One App That Can Convert to SWFįortunately I found one old, freeware, app that can convert from WMF (Windows standard vector file format) to SWF extremely well (if you can get it working - more on that later). There are a few apps that claim to do this but their SWF output isn't compatible with CA4 - often creating an image that appears invisible when imported. To get around the problem of SWF format only, I've scoured the internet for a file converter that can convert an SVG file to an SWF file. Which is a shame because the Render Styles system is extremely useful and time saving (and you can actually make G3 characters from vector images if you're willing to import sprites manually, one at a time, in the character composer). It doesn't seem like they're planning to add this any time soon. I've been asking Reallusion to add support for the more universal vector SVG format (that most vector illustration apps support) for years with no suggestion it might happen.
The only vector file supported by Cartoon Animator is Adobe's SWF format which isn't widely supported outside of Adobe apps, and even less so now that the file format was phased out as a web standard at the end of 2020. Reallusion Not Interested in SVG Support? Since then CrazyTalk Animator 3, and now Cartoon Animator 4, have focused more on high resolution bitmaps to create quality characters and props, however the Render Styles system and support for vector images still remains. Unfortunately G2 Vector characters weren't the success story Reallusion hoped for, proving to be too difficult for the average user to make, and they also required Adobe Flash (now Animate CC) for which many users weren't willing to invest in a subscription. So much so that they built into the application a Render Styles system that made it easy to recolor vector images if you took the extra steps to create vector color groupings for G2 vector characters and props. Reallusion's Cartoon Animator 4 used to feature vector images more prominently for character and prop creation back when it was launched as CrazyTalk Animator 2.
