For
immediate release
Giving
a voice to Softimage|XSI users.
Montreal, 27th
November 2007 – Di-O-Matic, a
leading developer of character animation software, is proud
to unleash today the Voice-O-Matic addon to the
Softimage|XSI community.
The most renowned CG characters
including Batman, Spider-man, Superman and many more are
relying on Voice-O-Matic to chat with nothing less than the
world. After six years of outstanding reviews, the award
winning lip synchronization tool initially only available
for Autodesk 3ds max marked today its release for
Softimage|XSI.
Voice-O-Matic is a user friendly
and powerful addon that automates the process of lip
synchronization for your animated CG characters. Simply feed
an audio file to Voice-O-Matic, and it will automatically
generate lip synch for your characters.
Di-O-Matic has worked in close
collaboration with Softimage to adapt Voice-O-Matic to XSI’s
unique workflow. Laurent M. Abecassis, founder and president
of Di-O-Matic explains: “With Voice-O-Matic (XSI Edition)
we did not simply transferred our technology to Softimage XSI,
we have pushed it further to have a tight integration within
XSI and to also offer the best automated lip synchronization
tool to the XSI community.”
Voice-O-Matic might become your
best lip-sync companion, whether you decide to leave your
lip-sync as is or if you want to tweak it. The tool already
has established its efficiency in leading video games,
feature films, television and commercials. To open up to the
world community, Voice-O-Matic is working with any type of
character setup and also in any language from English to
Japanese, including French, Spanish, and many others.
Bill
Roberts, Director of Product Management at Softimage
concludes : “At
Softimage, we always focus on high end character animations
this is why we are thrilled about the additional
capabilities that Voice-O-Matic is now offering to our
users.”
And if you need to process
thousands of audio files, vomBatch is the extension that you
need. vomBatch is an exclusive tool available only in the
Di-O-Matic VIP yearly membership that allows you to process
an unlimited amount of files without any user interaction.
Including this plug-in in your pipeline will save you
hundreds of working hours.
