More Makehuman lip sync: Moho to Body Language

[brkurt]

Hello everyone...

Here is a model with three videos. In the first video, I used the Moho file format to create a lipsync file, simply
inserting a keyframe for every 1/5 of a second. I am using the 'spread the damage around' method (aka least squares) in order to see how to fine tune the animation.

In the second one, I used Papagayo, and since the result was very close, just ran the interface as is.

In the third, I created a translation table from Moho to Body Language.

The original sentences were: "I love big cities. I mean I really love big cities."

And here is the translation table:

Hello everyone....

Here's a very efficient (>7Mb) model from last week's Makehuman nightlies.

I've separated out the eyes, teeth and tongue; created my own eyes, and teeth and tongue bones.
This really simplifies the process of rigging / shape keying the face. Note! When you separate out such objects,
delete every Vertex group except the one named for the bone. Otherwise, you get unpredictable distortions when you move the bone.

And, without further ado, here's Ellie:
