Prime Autolipsync v 2.0b Voice Recognition and AutoTiming System included


Prime AutoLipsync is not only a text to animation Engine anymore ,its now olso has Audio Animation engine too with Auto timing system.


Updates:
--Voice recognition Engine-- tested on english only not sure about other langue.
--Auto timing new system. -beta phase- need testing and feedback about it.

How to use:
just do the morpher setup as usual , choose a wav sound then run Auto recognition
audio will be processed , Text will appear , new Auto Timing system will try to make the animation fit with the audio as possible.

My tests has some good results and others not so good , will need some adjastments.
maybe u will have to use the old system in fixing animation at some frames as fit.

demo versions is limited so try using small wav files.
All Clients just replace the files , mail me for any help

Requirements: prime Autolipsync v2.0 uses Windows Voice recognition System which is integrated to win 8/7 for sure not sure about older xp system.
Tested on Win8 , I guess it will work on Win 7 with no problem
--Tested on Max 2014 -- max 9 and above should work with no problem.

Prime Automatic LipSync Tool

--2 sets of charcters for now , there is a female and male version.-but the model was never made at 1st as multi character so its just some tweaking.

--Same old ShaterAutorig v1.0 features as - Naming independant -, you can change the name for putting girl and boy character on the same scene without problems.
-- FaceRig is morph based exept extra controllers on the eye Brows .

--Biped Integeration :
Why choosing between custom rig and Biped when you can have both on the same Rig ?. 
2 ways of dealing with biped there is constraints system for testing only , make sure u reset the character before using it , it may gives weird results if there is already animation cause it consider an animation layer.
Always work on key mode unless you r testing mocap , Keys mode will capture the biped animation from start time to end .
there is a biped attached to the Rig you can Hide/unhide and work with it then Grap the animation by the character rig.

next stage on updating this Biped integreation , biped will take poses and animation from the rig too, i have uploaded some tests earlier on youtube channel.

knownissues:
--the swivel issue : when u load bip file swivels will be unparented form legs or hands to capture the animation with no issues , when u resets everythings goes back to normal , always i made a button to fix that olso .
say if you want to convert bip to xaf animation so you did load bip then save it as xaf from the options UI , u did save it while the swivels is unparented , just remember that .


--dynamic slider:
 it just small bones skinned to the clothmesh feels gravity and little motion of the body , gives the feeling of simualted cloth on no time , for sure its limited system with few options for now , you can control Gravity or weight of the cloth and the damping/multiplier , test them together .
2nd stage for developing dynamic slider will give more control for the user .



moody rig is mainly beta-testing Shater Autorig and some other tools on production , olso i hope it will be good asset for those guys who seeks a good free max rig , i hope i can provide better model-more appealing character next free rig . 

max versions:
Created and tested on max 2014 , but i think no problem with 2011 and above , if u have a problem Report plz.

license:
the character is free for non commercial usage , would appreciate it if you give me some credit .
