Excited to try this, especially for enhanced face animations.
If we're not using an iphone for face mocap, will other plugins like straight up Faceware work with this?

Congratulation for the new features.
I understand that the new Lipsync feature is mainly English. However, what will happen if the voice track is not English (as in my case, my primary voice track is not English)? Would the Lipsync still working like version 7.8, (the quality from 7.8 lipsynce with the non-English voice track is acceptable for me), or it will not working anymore?

The accu-lips is so awsome!
The generate text is pretty good, it only misses a few words and you can correct it and then apply.
I am excited, I wish I didn't have to work today.

They've been saying for a while now there'd be an iray update in early march that makes it useable for people with a RTX 3090. Is that included in this? Am I able to try it now?

The Iray Plug-in has been updated. You can see the changes below. This update should help resolve issues with the RTX 3000 series cards.

Wow! The timing of this is incredible. I was just trying to get a pipeline for expanding the expressions and getting breed lip sync. Was going to go with a brute force papagayo route. No need now! Thanks RL, this is amazing.

Our previous lipsync workflow remains unchange. You can still go to the animation tab, click create script and load your mp3 voice file and create lipsync animtion just like before.
Then you can open lip editor to edit your viseme clips on timeline. Learn more about our General lipsync.

Will there be an update to the Python API to automate the new options of AccuLips like it is possible with the current LipSync of VisemeComponents?

The updates to CC3 and iClone are awesome. The Arkit Blendshapes is something I'm really excited about and have been hoping for awhile. The Acculips integration is awesome as well.
Question though...
I'm exporting my CC3 Character with Aculips animation and extra expressions added in IClone to Unity. I noticed that the Jaw motion for the Visemes is being driven by a bone based animation. This isn't ideal for my Unity setup. Is there a way to assign the Viseme based animation / jaw motion to the Arkit "Mouth Open" animation? Or, could it also be assigned to "Merged Mouth Open" as a morph?
In other words, all facial motion from IClone would then be Arkit / Blendshaped based.

The current AccuLips can handle many tasks to speed up the process of auto lip sync animation.
It is dictionary-based and we suggest you can go over all four tutorials and webpage first to see if we can fulfill your request
If the above resources does not work and you would still need more Python API to work, you can submit an iClone 7.9 feedback tracker and we will take a look. You can also send me a private message, too. Thanks! |

Switch the Smart Gallery to Online mode. 2. Close program 3. Run the Hotfix .bat 4. Open the program and click Refresh manually.

Thank you very much for the answer.
Unfortunately we are working with a much higher amount of lines that we need to lip-sync.
I'll reach out to you in a PM.
