This is a revision to yesterdays experiment with Mimic Pro Standalone Lip Synchronization with in Carrara 8.5 Pro on a Genesis Figure. The main difference is I didn't use the motion capture from my last experiment. That eliminated most of the jerkiness of the movement.

I used the audio from yesterday of myself reading 13 sentences from the TMIT database. Then I processed the audio file in the stand alone version of Mimic Pro using my edited Genesis DMC file and eliminating any lip motions that popped. In Carrara 8.5 Pro I imported the resulting PZ2 file into NLA clips. I created 3 Brow NLA clips (Up, Down, Squeeze) and 4 Eye NLA clips (Right, Left, Up, Down). These were placed in additive tracks over the lip sync NLA track.

I may have removed too many mouth movements in order to get a smoother lip sync result. What do you think?

This is my first experiment with Mimic Pro Standalone and Brekel Pro Face Kinect Motion Capture Lip Synchronization combined in Carrara 8.5 Pro on a Genesis Figure.

I captured myself saying 13 sentences from the TMIT database using Brekel Pro Face Kinect Motion Capture. Then I processed the audio file in the stand alone version of Mimic Pro using my edited Genesis DMC file. In Carrara 8.5 Pro I imported the resulting two PZ2 files into NLA clips and applied them in additive mode to a genesis figure.

Not perfect by any means, but I am pleased with this as a base for further editing.

What do you think?
