I see what you’re describing. That could work, but I like the way the example SHOWS the phonemes. To animate you just click on the thumbnail to change. That’s pretty eloquent.
ugh, I dont wanna learn Maya just to have this feature.
but she flies by so fast I cant keep up. I like this one because it has the “helper object” like in my example. But like I mentioned, she just FLIES thru it. =[
@IkariShinji Yes, I did see this one yesterday when I was researching. Thx for offering to help. =]
EDIT:
Just tried the first method (2D Image Sequence). Works mostly well (pls see attached). I couldn’t get the custom properties to work, tho. This would be a tedious process. But I guess you could have a cheat sheet. e.g. Frame 05 = “L”, etc. There’s probably a faster way using Papagayo or another lip-syncing app. Then just apply the mov(?) to the geometry. ?
