Alter Ego is a free vocal synthesizer.
It is specially tailored for musical needs – simply type in your lyrics, and then play on your MIDI keyboard. It’s a true synthesizer, the sound can be extensively modified for easy and expressive performances.

Firstly thank you Steve for the new sound build, it works great and it very easy to add morph targets while scrubbing the sound bar along. Also I like the way the morph targets names expand out when you click on them.
I agree with Johnar this is the easiest way to add sound to a talking head.
Also thank you Johnar for the postimage.org advise.
This is wonderful, thank you Steve.

Hi Steve, can the ".dat" export file from papagayo, can a script be written for anim8or to
interpret this for morph targets? would it work in the phoneme track?
The dat file can be read in note pad.

Wow Steve!, you can import a video. Is it possible to import videos into the scene editor for rendering with CGI animation?

« on: June 18, 2020, 05:48:19 am »Steve has done wonderful work with the creation of the phoneme track. Please review the papagayo you-tube tutorial below.
At 3.17 minutes into the video he scrubs along the soundtrack and you can hear the broken down words and phonetic sounds.
Can this scrub/scrolling of the wave track be included into anim8or?

I suggested this along time ago, matching leg walking movement with a diagram would be very useful. I hate asking for new stuff, feel bad about taking time from Steve.

Johnar this is a very good post, thank you. Also, Papagayo is a lip-syncing free program designed to help you line up phonemes (mouth shapes) with the actual
recorded sound of actors speaking. Papagayo makes it easy to lip sync animated characters by making the process very simple.
This software is very useful creating and plotting out the voice overs for your anim8or
movies.You will need to develop storyboards in order to get successful synchronizations.

« on: June 17, 2020, 06:57:48 am »Firstly thank you Steve for the new sound builds, the second sound build
proved to be very interesting. My test character had 4 phoneme mouth morph
targets and I recorded my voice with audacity free software, I then added
the sound track. Then from the drop down edit menu, I selected edit phoneme track and I selected my test character head. I then played my
sound track in the scene editor and paused it at the time frame I wanted the
mouth to move. At this point I clicked in the phoneme track and selected the
mouth shape to match the sound, in this case it an “O” sound. See picture 1.
Anim8or produces a default value of 1 (which you can change) it also develops a default value of 0 on the key frames before and after your selected frame. This is very good and helps to save time, see picture 2.
Can we play the sound track at a slower speed? It was difficult to select the exact area of the sound wave because it played at normal speed, which proved to be very tricky.
