Automated lip sync animation in Autodesk 3ds max: any rig, any language!
Need to make your characters talk but don’t want to spend days or weeks doing it? You have come to the right place.
Voice-O-Matic (3ds max Edition) is a powerful, easy-to-use plug-in which automates the lip synchronization process for your animated CG characters directly in Autodesk 3ds max. Simply feed a
recorded audio file to Voice-O-Matic
and it will automatically generate timing and lip position data for your characters.
Flexible is the one word which best describes Voice-O-Matic.
No matter which type of character setup you wish to use: from shapes to complex bones-based rigs, and no matter the language for which you wish to create lip synchronization,
Voice-O-Matic delivers.
Interested in trimming hours of work off your next talking character production?
Voice-O-Matic analyses the phonemes within an audio file and automatically creates standard keyframes, allowing animators to quickly tweak results. You will be amazed at how easy it is to use.
Voice-O-Matic (3ds max Edition) is the best way to speed up the lip synchronization process for your CG characters in Autodesk 3ds max!

'' 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.''

Voice-O-Matic is simple, intuitive, fast and delivers beautifully on every one of it's high promises. Having worked in film, television and games, this is without a doubt one of the most impressive plug-ins I've ever used.
There is absolutely no way we could've animated the thousands of lines of dialog on our tight production schedule while still maintaining a high level of quality.
I recommend Voice-O-Matic to anyone trying to animate lipsync in a quick, easy and quality fashion. It's artist friendly and best of all, it actually works !

"Every single shot of our CG feature film has been using Voice-O-Matic to create a preliminary lip synchronization directly in Spanish. Of course we sometimes had to perform
fine-tunings but the way Voice-O-Matic works, adjustments can easily be made afterwards by the character animators."

"At Beenox/Activision, we rely heavily on Voice-O-Matic in our production workflow for both important first-pass lip-sync shots and crucial up-close sequences that we can adjust manually. When working on
Dreamworks game projects like the Jerry Seinfeld ‘Bee Movie’ or ‘Monsters vs. Aliens’, many of our junior animators benefitted from the automated functionality that Voice-O-Matic offers. At one point, we received over an hour
of production shots to complete in a very short time. Voice-O-Matic helped us meet the deadline and avoid production time and cost overages.
