Python-based Accessory for Moho Enhanced Lipsynch Activities
I think a python script may use the PAMELA result in Blender for lipsynch ;)
What it does
PAMELA helps you to take a WAV sound file (containing speech) and create a Moho switch data file, which (in Moho) controls the sequence of visible mouth shapes to give the appearance of speech - i.e. if you're animating with Lost Marble's Moho, PAMELA helps you get your characters talking.
For those familiar with Magpie, it's a basically like an amateur version of that excellent program, specifically for Moho users, written by a hobbyist programmer.
PAMELA also provides automatic breakdown of words into phonemes to increase productivity.
PAMELA is currently for Windows machines only - a Mac port is underway (thanks, Rich!)
Of course, you could also use it for controlling layers of a character's eyes, limbs, hands, ears and tail, etc., synched to speech, music, or some other sound file.
This software is freeware and open source, for personal, educational, corporate, and/or commercial use. Due to the GPL license of the sound toolkit used, PAMELA is also covered by the GPL license.
