Generate Lipsync from Gentle

Go here http://gentle-demo.lowerquality.com and upload your audio sample and text transcription.

Then download the align.json file. Run the following command:

Example Command

node ls.js input=align.json sound=audio.wav output=animation.json person=Person

Limitations and Issues

• Only the first "Person" atom will be animated.

• The person's morphs must be set to animated before loading the animation pattern. These are:

  • Mouth Narrow
  • Mouth Open Wide 2
  • Lip Bottom Up
  • Lips Close
  • Lips Pucker Wide

• However you can load the VAMSceneTemplate/scene/lipsynctemplate.json as a template which has the person set up correctly.

• The audio must be loaded before loading the animation pattern.

• Turning off "loop" on your animation pattern will break the triggers.
