Lip Synch?!

[Mad Max]

Hey all,

Tis my first post in 3DG, so a big HI to everyone before I go asking all my weird questions!

Ok, first up- Lip Synching. Trying to make a wee movie and I was wondering what is the best way (ok, easiest!) to do this. I have Max but a friend has Poser, thing is I dont know how to import Poser files into Max properly. Help appreciated!

Later,
Mad Max

Ok... Mimic is a Poser utility program that does lipsyncing for Poser.

Poser Pro Pack is a utility program that will take your Poser setup animations and port them to either Lightwave *or* Max, retaining everything for you.

It'd be a good deal to buy both of those programs, especially if you plan on doing a lot of speaking animations.

This site is not set up for lip synching, but it is a good site, a little dated, for poser max swaping. Roy Riggs is one of the best at that type of stuff. http://www.royriggs.com/ WarriorDL, as always :D, is right. You should look into Poser Pro pac (which is an upgrade for Poser4) and mimic for the best in lip syncing with Poser Figures.

I have pro pac but not Mimic, Poser Pro pac is great ;)

You could try here for a cheap way of getting lipsynching, you enter the text you want said and it creates the .fc2 face file you need.

Hey,

Thanks to all that replied for the feedback! At least I know what my options are now!

Now all I need is to learn how to make kick-ass interiors in MAX, oh well, practice makes perfect....

Later,
