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 (XSI Edition) is a powerful, easy-to-use plug-in which automates the lip synchronization process for your animated CG characters directly in Softimage.

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.
