So I'm looking in to Mimmic and am wondering if anyone loves it, hates it, has any comments about it. I'm feeling the pressure to get it before the price special goes away and has hoping to get comments before then. Is it really as good as the demo?

I'm very happy with it. Takes 1/100 the time to lip sinc. I have too little time as it is. It does need some tweaking thanks to poser's wandering spline interpolation. You'll still need to add a few keys here & change to linear interpolation there. I've tried it the hard way, & I'll never waste that much time again.

Definitely worth the purchase! Rest assured, it handles your own soundfiles every bit as impressively as the demo ones ;-)

i third that :o).......Steve

Same here, it's well worth the money in time alone. Marque

Quick comment, I used the beta, dont know if it has been upgraded much since then, but what I did find was that if the voice file isnt american english then (Being from the UK I tried using character voices of UK english accents) then mimic didnt quite like them and the results needed a lot of tweaking.

Great! Thanks for the feedback. Part of me was a little warried that they only bundled sound clips that worked really well with the demo (e.g. words with phonemes that acted right, etc.) and that it wouldn't really live up to itself. I'll go get it!

check out my review here http://interneteye3d.com/Reviews2000/Sept/mimic/default.asp mimic works with USA english which i definetly don't speak LOL (i'm from the north east of england) and it worked fine.....Steve ps theres a movie there

Interesting and informative review steve, looking at the review I see that mimic did in fact go through a few changes since the beta. One thing I do remember from the beta that was a pain, was the trying to get a character singing...can you tell me how it performs under these circumstances...eg a simple lullaby?

Also, forgot to mention the files I was using were distinct heavy accents (see prev. post regarding UK accents)...so I would like to know how well it handled Welsh/Scottish and Regional English accents. Has anybody tried this with the full version?

I tried it in French and it work well.

Mimic is definitely worth the price. I have been using it with computer generated voices in English, French, Spanish, Italian and British English. Works great with all of them. The only thing is you need clean voice waves with no background noise or you will get some wierd results. Ed

Does it work with Michael and Vicky, or just the default P4 figures?
