Automated lip sync animation in Autodesk Softimage: 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 (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.
Voice-O-Matic (XSI Edition) is the best way to speed up the lip synchronization process for your CG characters in Softimage !

production schedule while still maintaining a high level of quality without Voice-O-Matic. 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!"
