Hi All, about Talk Designer ... is that a known functioning feature? I'm on Poser 11.3.818

There is no viseme map for V4 in the pull-down. Perhaps Talk Designer only works with the Poser figures?

I loaded Jessi.xml

Loading the audio file: OKAY

Generating: She nods her head, etc.

Lips do not move.

V4.xml file or any help appreciated. Thank you,

Talk Designer does still exist in Poser 11.3.818, but V4, which is not native to Poser, does not have a viseme map. According to the manual, third-party figures should provide the map. However, there is a free Victoria 4.1 Talk Designer Kit in the free section: Victoria 4.1 Kit for Talk Designer. It should work with Victoria 4.2; It requires the Morph++ package for facial expressions.

Edit: I just checked if the kit is still available, and, unfortunately, the host site (ShareCG) is no longer in service.

Unfortunately, unless the file's read me says it's okay to share, it would violate copyright laws for anyone but the creator to post it here.

I wasn't asking for the file to be posted, only for a person who has the file to post here so we can read the readme.

To repeat, more clearly: anyone who has the file, please post a comment here and let us know what the ReadMe says.

Perhaps https://www.deviantart.com/wln73/art/V4-2-Viseme-Map-File-325064362 ? Haven't tried it.

Hi ChromeStar, excellent discovery. I had done a general search and did not get a hint.

I logged on to Diviantart and downloaded the file. Put in place in my animation.

It "works" as in ... her lips move now. There is an adjustment for "articulation" and I'm playing with that. Also, the timing is off between the visual and audio track. In other words, I'm fiddling, as usual with anything.

Thanks for finding the file and posting here.

@operaguy

I'm trying to repost bluegene's updated file for v4 & M4 to freestuff.   

Readme states: Copyright 2008 Greg Pavlik (aka bluegene).  Personal and commercial use permitted.  Distribution in original form only is permitted.

We'll see how it goes.
