New Release: BlenderLipSynchro 2.0!

Hello,

Great news today! I release a new version of blenderlipsynchro!

More simple: you just need to chose your export file (from Pamela, papagao or jlipsync for the open source ones) and make your mapping! Multi phonems support: not only Preston Blair phonems set is supported! You use what you want!

The script autodetect your phonems set and show only the use ones.

More, a non regression tests suit was written too!

BlenderLipSynchro: new release very soon!

Hello,

A new version is in the pipe, after six months of tests and use.

My son was born now, so i have time to code new functions and improvements:
  • Multi phonems set support: it's not now an obligation to use the Preston Blair phonems set or the JLipSync one. You could use your own custom phonems set.
  • Save and load mapping: you could now save and reload your mapping.
  • simplier framwork: the script detect automatically your phonems set, you have not to precise the lipsynchronisation software
And more!

By the vway, i work on a script to synchronise action too, and not only shape key.

Cheers,

Dienben

http://afn.dalmont.free.fr/ben/blenderLipSynchro_12.py

This release provide the full compatibilty with Jlipsync and offer a better protection if you for exemple, choose a non mesh object.

Enjoy!

New Version And JLipSync compatibility!

Hello,

Some news of the evolutions:
- add english description and comments
- JLipSync compatibility!

JLipSync is a java, open source lipSynchronisation program. It could export to Moho, so it could be use with BlenderLipSyncrho!

http://jlipsync.sourceforge.net/

Now, you need to use the Preston Blair Phonems to have the full compatibility. But i work on an evolution and hope to released it before the end of the Week End.

New version of the script:

I will write a tutorial for JMipSynch soon (next week).

Enjoy!

Tutorial Step 4: Facial expression

Hello,

Today, i will talk about expression. In fact, it's good if Suzanne ccan speak, but it's better if she can express feeling. So, we will build some facial expression.

Please, download:
http://guitargeek.superihost.com/widgetmaker/
and a complete exemple :
http://afn.dalmont.free.fr/ben/suzanne_driven_shape_1.blend

First, play with the .blend (only with the 2.40 alpha2).

As you can see, if you move the little sqare in the big one, facial expression change!

To do that, add some new Shapes. Use the script and choose the correct disposition.

That's all!
