Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 23 7:38 pm)
Are you including phoenetical text of the spoken dialogue as well because that along with the audio helps Mimic to better sync up the phonemes to the audio??? If not try it!

I always check the movement of the mouth and its synchronisation in Mimic before saving it out as a poser file. Mimic is not meant to be a one-stop, click and go solution - it still takes tweaking and finesse to get it looking right. In Mimic, you can set it up to play the facial animation through - it takes a few minutes for it to create all the frames, but it gives you a much more accurate playback of the animation than the regular preview. Make sure you have it right in there before transfering it to Poser, and it should be fine.
Also, as ghelmer says, anything you can do to help Mimic hit the right phonemes in the first place, such as a phonetic textfile version of the dialogue you're speaking, makes things a little easier.

It does totally help... one thing I found is "THINK DUMB" when you're typing it... the sound file says: "What are you doing?" I would type: "whut arr yoo dooing?" remember to type the sounds not the real words as they're really spelt as it helps Mimic to better match the mouth shapes to the sounds!!
Hope this helps Tebop... your project is "sounding" pretty interesting!!

I made a mimic pose. Mimic 3 pro by the way. In it i'm speaking slowly but when i apply it to Ben or James, which i figured out how to do thanks to a tutorial in daz 3d which shows how to uncompress those characters for mimic use, they move their mouths kinda lagging. the mouth is not in perfect sync with the sound I remember doing it with v3 and with v3 it's much better. perhaps because mimic is a daz product and v3 also?
