HI all, Just thought id show some very rough Low res animatics that i am sequencing together in final Cut Pro3. these are some quickly blocked out animations renderd directly in poserpro. they will be refined in the Graph editor and imported into Cinema 4DXl for hi res texture and rendering. for those of you who remember the original superman movie as marlon Brando stood before the Grim faces of the kryton elders projected on huge screens, well thats the look this portion of my movie trailer will have. with the opposing debaters on individual platforms under smoky volumetric lights in cinema followed by the quick cutting action sequences I used Discreet media cleaner5 for MAC OSX to compress this 74 megs!! of footage down to 1.4 megs as a windows media videodownload( Rightclick or MacOption click the link)

Thanks

Very interesting. The lip syncing is excellent. I'd love to see this when you finish your hi res version.

As would I.

You'll definitely need to refine the body motion; right now, the characters remind me of the animatronic figures at Disneyland. :)

Giving Mimic quite a workout, aren't you? I've noticed that DAZ now has the PC version in its store. I wonder if they'll offer the Mac version when it's released next week.

I like it, I needed to be entertained today, and I was here. Thanks for sharing. Sharen

Thanks All,
This Mimic Program i working great for me on the mac!!
it truly is the Holy Grail for talking characters in poser.
Ive found it works best if i import and apply a BVH first
and go into the graph editor and remove ALL animation data from
the neck up. then apply the mimic PZ2 and you get a good combination
of walking and talking .

i render a quick render in poser to check the lip synch
then resave the entire animation as a new pz2
in my library.
