Yep! its easy takes about five minutes (if we havn't already done it, and if you don't think you're up to it send us the model and we will send you back a morph profile by return, thats all there is to it!

We are activly building more and more model profiles into the product so that you allways get an accuratly targeted animation, you can build your own in about 5 minutes with the morph mapping function. Thanks for visiting, maybe you are more tempted to spend $49 !

Attached Link: Good and bad news

Good News and bad news... the bad new is i've got a slight headache and its 20.20 in the UK and we've all been going since 06:30 (launch day), the good news, we will be releasing a mac version in the next few weeks, it will have differences however, No TTS sorry, there seems to be very few quality voice font purveyors who operate in the mac world. The software will however be using our "Advanced Animation Automation" systems (destined for version 2 of the PC version ... lol) - A3. This will mean a very streamlined with nearly zero human interaction when it comes to full animation production. We will probably be going into alpha in the next two weeks with beta shortly after... Hey! how could we forget the sexy (is that PC) end of technology, after all, theres nothing nicer that well crafted animations on a well crafted system!

Attached Link: Re: New Poser Lip-Syncing Product is it a knockoff - I think not!

I'm not quite sure what you are alluding to but maybe a detailed explanation of how PoserToolbox works in in order. I too bought Mimic from Lipsinc a few years ago, I too bought Mimic 2 Pro, both fine products. We use a proprietary Artificial Neural Network/Hidden Markov Model (ANN/HMM) approach to audio analysis this for those that are not aware is the most technically advanced method of extracting Phoneme and Viseme information from audio recordings. As a veteran poser user some 4 to 5 years I have been continually frustrated by the way that both Mimic and Pro fail to animate all models (this may be changed by now but not in my version - also real the forums!) We introduced morph-mapping to allow the user to attach our morph animations to any part of a body, this guarantees anti-obsolescence. We have allow added multi audio mixing and merging, to enable you to create a sound composition similar to that used by multi media applications, we only lip-synch the file indicated as the Lips file. All other animations are generated automatically by our own algorithms, that are linked directly to the energy produced by the vocalisation (vocal chord vibration not sound volume) this enabled the production of rhythmical animations in time with the audio. The addition of TTS is purely following demand shown in the Poser Forums. Lipsinc approached a number of ANN/HMM technology provider in the early days to adopt the very same approach. Have you ever asked yourself the question that maybe, sometimes all things can be improved, and when you are the only player in the market (LipsInc/Daz) its only a matter of time until someone comes into your back yard. Technology, Algorithms and knowledge are not exclusive to a few, but everybody has the right to investigate, design and aspire. With your exclaimed suspicions, I find it strange that a user of a product, would take such a suspicious approach, unless you are more than a user? We are happy to explain our methodologies and motivations to anyone (subject to us not breeching our own secrets). Thank you for your comments, if it wasnt for improvements and advances wed all be still driving Model T fords theres progress eh!. PS. Maybe the gripe is some people will pay and have paid nearly $200 for a product that may now have at least a functional equivalent or indeed possibly better for a quarter of the price.

Attached Link: Launch offer until End of October.

No worries we want to make PoserToolbox a must have in your animation armory, we have many more plans and will be adding additional Poser goodies to it probably on a monthly basis. Your suggestions by the way would be more than helpful. The Launch Offer is static until the end of October which should give Genny more than enough time to help win you over.. (and to gain a marketing advantage)..lol.

Attached Link: Site Checked.. all OK!

Just gave the site the once over and everything seems, OK, we didn't expect the level of traffic so it may run slow from time to time, we have however just moved all of the demonstration files onto 6 other servers, so performance should be OK now. Thanks for the heads-up!

Attached Link: Mac & Lite version to come

Mac version will be available in the next few weeks, without the TTS initially. The Light edition will exclude TTS interfacing and will be fully automated, it will however allow you to create and apply your own morph mapping profiles. Making it suitible to work with any model past, present and future.

Mimic 2 is an excellent product, however we felt we would like to take a slightly different approach. We both automatically create head animations and of course lip-syncing, we have a comprehensive Text-to-speech interface, you can mix multiple audio files in our mixer and merge them into a single source for Poser, and best of all, our file structure is fully visible, you can create your own facial expressions and map the morph targets from our output onto any model, we ship profiles for all the major models Vic & Michael 2/3 the mapping is very simple.. so when you get a new model and find it doesnt blink or move its tongue you can create a profile in five mins. Oh! yes there is the price, we are I believe significantly less expensive. Other than that we both cater for a similar market space. For those who are interested we use Artificial Neural Network/Hidden Markov Model (ANN/HMM) approach to audio analysis. We will allow substitutions of voices but only at initial purchase. And only until the end of October. Unfortunatly it is not downloadable because of the size including the TTS it tops 130Mb and our band width would be saturated with downloads. For those that are interested there will be a Mac version in the next few weeks.

Yes, unfortunatly I suppose it is I placed it in this forum then found the product announcement area, I just then replied to the posts.. I must appologise, should anyone wish to commence a dialog without filing this forum, go to the site and use the contacts area. Sorry again.

Attached Link: Bad eyes to be addressed... watch this space.

I think the only people following this link is you and I at the moment..lol..! Banner ads commenced on Renderosity 15 mins ago, so watch this space. As for darkened text.. i'll see what I can do.

Attached Link: I cannot tell a lie! Its a fair cop guv!

I've been a Poser user for the last 4 years and was continually frustrated by lip-syncing and auto-animation offerings, so it was descided to write our own. 12 months later ... PoserToolbox is the start of things to come to make poser life easier, we have many other plans in the pipeline. The product was officially launched yesterday (Midnight US Central time), a banner ad campaign starts today in many poser community areas and we have already been receiving sales since 05:17 Central US time (somebody needs to get some sleep.. me thinks). We will be starting our own PT community area in due course and you are all welcome to visit.

You can place your own Audio files in or Record directly in the software, The prices of the Text-To-Speech voices are controlled in the due to high licensing charges from our partners (but the quality is excellent - robots need not apply) There is also a sound mixer enabling you to add as many sounds as desired to the timeline but only one is selected for Lip-Syncing, you get individual volume control on all audio. When the file is generated the software merges all of the audio into just one... ideal for Poser. Larger screenshots are coming.. As for the duration of the Launch offer, we are presently looking at it one day at a time!
