http://www.textpuppet.com/faq8.html I'll be happy if the next version of MIMIC has all the features Textpuppet has right now.

I must add that I just bought MIMIC, the new price is a no brainer but I'm in love with the specs of Textpuppat. The ability to produce speach files without the use of an actor is just great, that's what i'd like to see in version 2 of MIMIC, besides the fixes to the Millenium figures everybody has been talking about.

Online Now!

Jamball posted a fix for the Millenium figures and mimic a while back I am looking for it now once i find it i will see if it is ok to repost it it had to do with either adding new morph targets for the eye blink and open lips by editing the cr2 or pz2 files will keep you posted stallion

You might as well PAY attention, because you can't afford FREE speech

They have some info on the Mimic site on how to fix it for the Millinium figures...also once I fixed them I saved them as mimic figures so I didn't have to hassle with it again, I just choose that figure to use with Mimic. Marque

Textpuppet + FaceStation = mimic 2 COOOOL A new version of mimic similar to FacesStation + Textpuppet will be very GREAT! Andygraph

That would really be the ULTIMATE MIMIC!!! Enough to make you want to kneel and make sacrifices in honor to DAZ.

the only problems i see i text puppet is that it misses some phonemes. the list of supported phonemes in MIMIC is greater. I wish that mimic had more variations for blinking: Barney Rubble, fast, sluggish, and medium. Also some control over grouping (how many blinks on average are grouped together) and frequency between groups of blinks. If you want auto computer read robot talk just do a Google search on text readers. There are several in any variety of voices. Record the voice from your text file then dump the .wav into MIMIC. IMHO any attempt to do emotions is a waste of time unless you also include the use of cameras so that you have a face station scenario. Face Station lovers should check the price though. Face Station is 20X the price of MIMIC. For 16 dollars you can do nearly the same thing with the facial expression libraries for Vicky and Michael from DAZ. just my 2 cents. jamball
