There are some times that you may have your own unique custom character and wanted to use Acculips for the perfect lip sync but unfortunately you can't use Acculips because it's only supported for CC base character. So, this tutorial will show you on how to use Acculips for every character in simple way, enjoy!

Or even easier - just bring your other CC character into CC3 and convert to CC3+ (that way you never have to go through hoops again).

Yes Sir, but what I'm trying to do here is that... CC3 carry too much of texture weight and sometimes, person may have low poly version that won't consume too much of PC resources... Instead of that, person could just use the method
That's the most reason why I even did tutorial on it. Seems I forgot to mention that. Thanks for your tutorial all the time

Converting to a CC3+ character won't change the texture rate and shouldn't even change the poly count (it *might* on the face - but if it does, then the facial morphs will look even better).
It's not that I think your tutorial isn't valuable - almost any insight into how the RL products work is worth having - but the more information folks have the better, and as long as they understand they may be giving up some things with this approach it's worth knowing about (my hunch is that the facial morphs aren't as good as they could be if the character was converted. I'd have to make some tests to be sure, though).

Ok Sir

About the facial morph, there are some people that don't value that because I've worked with some people like that, all they care is just the character behaviour and lip sync. Since the only difference between such character and CC3 character is the new explus expression, I think the existing morph before explus arrive is also manageable. Infact sometimes, I prefer ordinary expression morph than the new one (explus). Buh, explus worth it and still cool. It just depends on person sometimes

My understanding of Harry's proposal is that what he suggest would also work for non-CC characters (like G5 characters) that could benefit from the improved lip-synching.

Um, okay - haven't wanted to use anything other than a CC character for so long I didn't even consider them (they are pretty lousy but I can see some folks might be attached to them in a deep emotional way that transcends reason :>)

Actually, the new scanned low-poly characters are non-CC, so there might still be a use for the idea...:P

You know, your own machine is animation killer .. can't compare to we people using low end machine... That's why I think the idea should work for such characters

But at the end you have only transferred the sound. AccuLips has also improved Lip Morphs, that can not transfer.

True, but the generated visemes themselves are far more accurate compared to the old lip-synch system, which always required a lot of cleaning up.

I have tried several Non CC Character and get a message, not compatible Character.

Yeah, I don't think this works on non-CC characters (seems to me I tried this already a long time ago, which is why I kind of dismissed this approach).
In the end I still think the answer is to convert - if you can't convert, then using Acculips isn't any advantage.

Great idea Harry! Maybe in the new version of CC well be able to bring in any mesh and make it work but until then this is a great solution.

Ok, great... I'll check it out too

But please, do not forget to make actorCore character also support explus and Acculips during iclone 8 rolling out... Thanks

Not that easily discouraged, I did a test based on that you can replace a character in iClone by drag/dropping the replacement character on it in the scene..
I took a recent project containing two CC3+ characters with AccuLips lip-synching and replaced those with two of the new scanned characters.
The new characters followed at least the lip-synching quite well. So that is another possibility.
