I have just placed an order with Smith Micro and the download I have paid for did not show .

So I am trying to get Technical Support and the web site is  not loading ! any body else having problems with Smith Micro?

Works for me.

Hi Philic 

Thanks, now all I need to do is rescue my download!

Have a great one.

Lots of websites are running slow this week, probably overloaded with Xmas shopping.

With the holiday it might be difficult to get a hold of someone until Monday.  Hope it works out but you may have to be patient.  (I know, easier said than done.  I hate having to be patient)  

I cheated, I got a DVD...;) Now if I only knew how to use it...;)

Its OK I just cancelled the order I can live without it.

Have a great one all of you.

What a great website Renderosity is.

Worked for me just after midnight. Unfortunately, the product I purchased - Talk Designer Assistant for Poser 7 - does not. At least for Michael 4, it does not work. It does not appear to be saving the viseme files in the proper manner and/or format and, consequently, they do not work. So, I can kiss another $20 goodbye in my attempt to get Poser to what it should do. Anyway, I am rambling again, back to the subject at hand, the Smith-Micro site appeared to be working just fine or, at least, with no more than the usual bugs and foibles.

Take care, be well, keep flying.

A mac specialist said to me recently do not forget with Poser you are at the cutting edge of tech, so I suppose we can apply that to all the items we use, its still frustrating though when software will-not work.

Lets hope when they update Poser they get it correct.

Love All Serve All

@casamerica , do you have the proper definition file for M4 ?

@markschum,

These are the verbatim instructions for Talk Designer Assistant for Poser 7:

• Load character with morphs to scene
• run Scripts -> Anakele Vision and Design -> Talk Designer Assistant script
• Select the appriate morph for the corresponding sound.  There will be 12 phonemes to set up.
• Viseme Map will be saved to Runtime:Lipsync Folder
• start Talk Designer and enjoy!

I performed the steps above exactly as instructed... well, except for the "start Talk Designer and enjoy!" step. Can't enjoy what does not work.

TDA for Poser 7 failed to create a useable viseme map for my character which is a Michael 4-based character. If there are ANY other factors that come into play in using this program, then it should have been clearly stated in the readme. It was not.

A viseme map I adapted for V4 works just fine. I guess I will have to do the same for M4 now. I simply wanted a program that would cut the time factor everytime I wanted to use a character not supported by Poser's Talk Designer. I thought TAD was that program. I was wrong.

As an aside, I wish Content Paradise had a system similar to the Renderosity store where buyers could comment and rate their purchases. It might have saved me $19.95. I will remember that the next time I am trying to decide between a prop or character purchase between Renderosity and CP.

Take care, be well, keep flying.

I wish I'd bought Smith Micro stock-they have doubled since September! :crying:

I don't know about the mac's because never using, but some peoples tell me acronym is really

MAC = Marginally Acceptable Computer

like I say, never use, but they do seem limited in what software they can runs and also hardware is single source so you cants build mac like you can with pc from the parts.

My Additional Companion this year has made a twelve minute film showing in the finest Museum in India for a audience of thousands The Museum is run by a charitable trust .

It  save's the charitable trust a lot of $$$$$$.

They can now spend on Hospitals & Schools .I am happy with the performance.

I am sure windows also could do a fine job.

However in my old age I like to surrounded by pretty things! And you do not get much prettier than my Mac Book Pro. 

no offense, but Poser may have been cutting edge tech back in 1996

casamerica, (and anyone familiar with TD and TDA)

I was just about to post a question regarding Talk Designer Assistant and I spotted your post here.

I'm working on an animation story based on a kid's birthday party, so I have several kids I need to lipsynch. Problem is, Talk Designer is only compatible with Ben and Katie, and many of the kids I'm using are Daz "The Kids 4" figures.

I thought Talk Designer Assistant might be the solution, but it seems some who have purchased it are not satisfied with it. I don't even know if it's compatible with The Kids 4 figures or not, there's nothing in the documentation listing specifically which figures it works on.

Do you, or does anyone have a few minutes to post an alternative way to get The Kids 4 figures talking w/lipsynch?  I know the basics of using Talk Designer, but I am a fairly new PoserPro2010 user, so if someone wouldn't mind posting a step by step work around (+ screengrabs/visuals if possible), it would be immensely helpful and appreciated.

Thank you

MM
