Activity Forums Maxon Cinema 4D Animating Mouth

    Hi Everyone
    I’m trying to animate from a mouth rig in Cinema 4D. I’m currently using a pose morph and switching between 3 settings for the vowels A E and O. Key framing this looks kind of ridiculous so far : / Is there a chart with how to make different letters and sounds with my vowel options? Or is there a better way to do this in general?
    Thanks in advance!
    Joel

    Try googling, “phonemes lipsync”.

    I’ve done plenty of lip syncing to 3D characters and aside from some plugins that I am unaware of that may exist, pose morphing is always how I set up the mouth but there’s more work involved than just the 3 positions.

    I always have the following poses:

    Eeee
    Ssss or N
    Oh
    M or P (pucker)
    Uh or relaxed
    V or F

    I can get away with anything using these.
