Dynalips-Player

High realistic lip synchronization for 3d animated characters

Keywords: 3D animation - Graphics - Speech Synthesis

Functional Description: Dynalips provides a solution to synchronize precisely and automatically the movements of the lips of a 3D character with speech (we address 3D animation movies and video games). We have developed a demonstrator that illustrates the whole process: from audio + text to the generation of the animation trajectory, and controlling the animation of a 3D model (e.g. an avatar). The demonstrator is composed mainly by the player developed in Unity 3D (but can be used with any other system) and plays the animation synchronously with speech in realtime. It is possible to generate an animation for Autodesk Maya 3D.

News Of The Year: The whole lip-sync demonstrator is fully operational. From text and recorded speech, the system allows animating two different 3D models. The player is running on Unity 3D.
