(Montréal, Canada--August 11, 2009) Di-O-Matic, Inc., a leading developer of 3D character animation software and plug-in tools, today began shipping its Voice-O-Matic v3 (3ds Max edition) software.
Created to meet the needs of 3D character animators all over the world who require an easy-to-use, lip synchronization plug-in for their Autodesk® 3ds Max® software, Voice-O-Matic v3 is used by top 3D animation studios to achieve highly accurate voice-to-character matching. Voice-O-Matic v3 (3ds Max edition) software is available now for US $349.
"At Beenox/Activision, we rely heavily on Voice-O-Matic in our production workflow for both important first-pass lip-sync shots and important up-close sequences that we can adjust manually,” said Stephane Duchesne, technical director of animation at Beenox/Activision. “When working on Dreamworks game projects like the Jerry Seinfeld ‘Bee Movie’ or ‘Monsters v. Aliens’, many of our junior animators benefit from the automated functionality that Voice-O-Matic offers. At one point, we received job that called for over an hour of production shots to complete in a very short time. Voice-O-Matic helped us meet the deadline and avoid production time and cost overages.”
Used in literally every vertical media and entertainment market—from computer graphics (CG) feature films—to animated television series, 3D games, visual effects in feature films and commercials, Voice-O-Matic can save up to 80% of the time it takes to manually animate lip synchronization. 3D animation artists can benefit by using both the automatic phoneme matching features and the manual tools to fine-tune the animated character to achieve highly customized results. Voice-O-Matic synchronizes pre-recorded audio to virtually any type of 3D character set up, including morph target and bones-based character rigs—with support in English, French, Japanese, Hebrew, Spanish, Arabic, Italian, and other languages.
