Has anyone tried Mimic Live?

Has anyone ever actually gotten it to work?

It works.

All I can accomblish is head movements.  Lips never move. G3Female.

Tried a pre-recorded and mic.  Need to use the recorded because not using my own voice.

It appears the plugin hears the audio based on head movements but won't translate to any lip sync.

Where can I download the full tutorial?

Did. One step closer. Play audio and capture mouth opens....then just stays open.

Tried on a generic unmodified G3Female character to eliminate any extraneous props etc.

Will update if I have better luck

Are you loading the correct DMC configuration file for G3???

paul_ae567ab9

The files were not included in the original folder. I did download the one for G3.

That works.Meh!   But the program is very cumbersom to use because you cannot load an audio file. Seems to only work with a microphone.

If I play the file in media player I get head movements but no lip movements. That I  don't understand.

The ugly work around seems to be to copy the audio file to my phone then play it into the microphone.  The accuracy is poor.

Its okay as a toy but not ready to be really useful yet until can load pre recorded audio files.

You need 2 computers.
