Second Life has Lipsynch! For real!

OK, you know how we’ve been going on for ages about how SL doesn’t have any lipsynch, and that’s a major problem?

It does, apparently. According to Phil Rice, it’s been in there for ages - since July.

How? Well, it’s built into the viewer. Press CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+D, choose Character from the Advanced menu which appears, and choose “Enable Lipsynch”.

And it looks pretty good! Now all we need is facial animation…

(Side note - how the hell did I not hear about this? Was I being totally ignorant, or did they, erm, not publicise it much?)

    Facial animation is there too Hugh, though the choices of expression are somewhat basic. I think the SL publicity department depends on people finding things out by accident :)

    Yeah, the facial expressions are there, not as a function of the viewer, but one can concoct a puppet-like interface to invoke different face animations on command. Go to xstreetsl.com, to Marketplace, and do a search for “face animation” and you’ll see many HUDs available for controlling face. I don’t think there’s any blending at this time, they are more like poses, but they work.

    They look like poses because the expressions have been chopped up from the inworld gestures which you can find in the library/inventory, and yes you can blend them. Don’t pay for a Hud either there are plenty for free.

    The expressions are only really good for comedy, they look over-the-top for anything serious.

    @Kate - I think you’re right. The whole publicity strategy seems to be “if you build it they will come”. Lip-sync and facial animation in SL is a huge deal for us. Perhaps we’re the only community who view it as news-worthy?

    Either way, this is a very exciting development. Or at least it was, in July, when everyone but Hugh and me found out about it ;-)
