Blendshape used but no lipsync animation in MotionBuilder?!

Anonymous — Wed, 26 Apr 2017 01:45:14 GMT

Hi,

Hoping to get help with this class assignment

Got the audio

Imported an Autodesk Character Generator character (Paid version)

Added an Actor Face

Added audio clip to Character

Created the Relations to the Character Face

Adjusted the appropriate Blend Shapes

Played the audio that was connected to the Character Face / Actor but it didn't move the mouth?

I've added the MotionBuilder file so that you're able to see exactly what I have and maybe give me a hint of how to fix that. I'm doing this for my class and I hope to get it done by the end of the week, if at all possible. I just thought it would be easier to put it into MotionBuilder than sit there shaping every little movement of the mouth / face. Just wanted to work smarter, not harder 🙂 Is that possible?

Sincerely,

Crystal

Hi @Anonymous,

If I open you scene, put the timeline stop frame to 1000 instead of 1 and press the play button, I can see the mouth moving.

If this is not your issue, could you please describe what is not working exactly?

Best regards,

Francis

Hi @Anonymous,

You are more than welcome!

Having access to your scene was the key here.

Best regards,
