I followed your instructions, the first line was easy, I changed the body parts: Head, Right Eyes and Left Eyes, but I had doubts in the second line, where it says viseme phoneme, I have the "VSM_?" and I had to write the viseme name, for example AA, EH, etc, (VSM_AA, VSM_EH, etc.) but what letter must I write where it says Viseme phoneme="?"?. How I didn't know, I left them the same. In the third line also I left the same values and in the last ones, I didn't have the .fcz files, so I only exchange Genesis by Michael 4 names and I saved as Genesisviseme.xml file, but it didn't work in Poser sadly :( 

I don't know what I made wrong, also if you could make one and send it to me by other way, I'd thank you so much! I'd love to make it by myself because I'd like to learn how to make xml map files, but I think I'm bad in this, I hope you can help me :)

Quote - I can't cut and paste into this forum which is dumb so bear with me here.

Open up your xml in a text editor oof some type.

---

In the second line <VisemesMap figureName="Michael 4" version="1.0" change Michale 4 to whatever Gene is called.

---

In the next 3 lines, if Gene has a different internal name for her head and eyes change the internalName="????" to match hers.

---

Next come a whole bunch of lines that read:

change morph="VSM_?" /> to morph="name_of_Gene's_corresponding_viseme"  />

---

Next are the movement parameters. These may or may not need to be tweeked slightly if you want to fine tune the range of head and eye movements. They should be fine as they are very small movements.

---

Finally the facial expressions are listed. You file has paths to a Mac file system and point to face (fcz, fc2) files. These, if you wish to use them to even furthur tweek your final output; must point to face files on your systen with the names "Anger", "Fear"; "Disgust" and so on that you will have to make yourself if you do not have similar facial expressions for Gene already that you can point the xml file to.

---

That's it. I'll keep an eye open if you need help.

Thank you for your advise. Yes, I´ve seen the Talk Designer Assitant in the daz studio page, but it's too expensive for me, that's why I'm looking for the xml file, I hope someone can help me with this issue.

Kind greetings :)

Quote - Sorry, I'm not familiar enough with the process to do it for you. It seems like a rather time-consuming project also, so you may not have much luck finding anyone willing to do it for free. 

There is a plug-in for Poser 9/Pro 2012 available at content paradise called Talk Designer Assistant 2, which lists Genesis/Michael5 as being compatible with it, so maybe that is something you can try. It's $45 tho, so maybe try contacting the creator first to make sure it will do what you need, or see if they have something else that will suit your needs better, or can tell you where to go that will. 

Best I can do. Good luck with it. Maybe someone else can offer more info.

Quote - I have the visemes for Genesis in the Poser, I adjunt you a picture. Sorry but I don't figure out how to do the xml file, if you could give an example or an explanation step by step about what I have to do I'd thank you so much, excuse my ignorance but I've never create a xml and I don't have any idea how to do it, I hope you can help me :)

 

 

 

Quote - I've never got Genesis working properly in Poser but that is neither here nor there. If you have it working do you have the phonomes working as well? If so then you are ready to make your xml file.

Simply open any xml in a text editor V4, Alyson, whomever; and replace the existing phonome referances with those for Gene. The expression files are simply face files. Just make the face shape you want for "angry" or whatever. Save it to the faces tab and referance it in the xml.

The whole process should take you less than 10 minutes and you will be able to make any figure talk in Poser this way.

I would do it for you but as stated above I do not have Gene working in my version of Poser.

Ayway if someone can create it using DSON please, I really need it. I have to make an animation in Poser and I need Genesis figures talk.

So please it's very importat to me, :(

Thank you for your suggestion, I'll study this, but in case I get Genesis as a poser figure, could you build a viseme map file for it? Because I don't know how to build those files.

Quote - I could be wrong, and if so someone with more experience on the issue can correct me, but from my (limited) experience with genesis1/2 in Poser, I don't think it's possible to create viseme xml files for genesis in Poser if you're using genesis in Poser via DSON. 

My impression is that you would first need to convert your genesis figure into a native Poser figure. 

To do that you can follow these threads by JoePublic for instructions:

Once you've got genesis saved into Poser without the need for DSON, then you can build your viseme maps. 

Someone else may know of a way to do it while still using DSON, but I've seen no mention of it so far even after searching google on it, so I don't know.
