Game Developer Conference,
San Jose, California
– March 20, 2006 –
In their continued efforts to raise the bar in the high-end
character animation arena, Di-O-Matic announced today its
latest plug-in development Voice-O-Matic version 2 for 3ds
max.
Voice-O-Matic 2
simply takes lip
synchronization to a new level by using an intelligent
phonetic engine that can break down audio files cleanly and
automatically assign correct phonemes (up to 40 of them) to
make your characters talk in just minutes. It also has
impressive language support and can handle English, French,
Italian, German and Spanish. Animators can also tweak their
results with standard Bezier curve controls and
sophisticated smoothing algorithms so that the fine-tuning
process is quick and painless.
Included
in this new version is an improved new interface to
accelerate even more your lip-sync process; audio cue to
hear an example of the phoneme to make sure you are
selecting the one you want; weighable phonemes so you can
put emphasis on the phonemes you want to accentuate and have
more power over your lip-sync.
Voice-O-Matic 2 is now the
only lip-sync plug-in that is available on the market for
3dsmax users. Other developers ceased their operations
altogether or simply stopped developing any future versions.
Voice-O-Matic 2 is one of the easiest character animation
plug-ins on the market.
Javier Rodriguez of the
award wining
Snowblind Studios
confessed:
With Voice-O-Matic, it’s
a breeze to achieve realistic, believable lip-synchs in
record time. Quick and easy to use, yet very powerful.
Thanks
to Voice-O-Matic, 3ds max animators can now rely on its
intuitive workflow to create quality lip-sync animations in
a snap!
Voice-O-Matic 2
support from 3ds max 6 to 3ds max 8 and have been optimized
for 3ds max 8, the newest version of Autodesk's top-selling
animation software.
