A new phoneme-pairing based lip-sync mechanism has been developed for the new Character Creator avatars. These brand-new viseme settings, for highly accurate lip shapes, have over 200 phoneme shapes incorporated into their lip-syncing options.
You can now apply different Smooth or Strength settings to Jaw, Lips and Tongue; creating more sophisticated talking behaviors that better replicate authentic moods and personalities when talking. Reduced lip keyframes are also auto-generate for easier and more efficient editing.
To find the new lip-sync options simply:
- Open up the Timeline panel (F3), click the down arrow icon beside your character and enable the viseme track.
- Right-click the viseme track and select lip-sync options to open up the Option panel.
- All three new options will be found inside.
