Using Phoneme Strength to Create Poser Talking Characters

Video Transcript

"JOHN CARSTARPHEN: Hi. This is John Carstarphen for Expert Village. You get a very, very simple starting point to add voice animation to your characters and, of course, you can go in and really tweak these. There's--this section of the program is called the timeline and we can scrub through the timeline, and each one of these phonemes can be changed. For instance, if you double-click on--or, rather, if you right-click, you'll get some different parameters that you can change on each phoneme. For instance, if you wanted to edit the strength, then you just right-click and select "Edit Strength" and, by moving the mouse up and down, you can see that the red bar represents the strength. The lower the red bar is, the less strength this particular phoneme will have on the mouth of your character and, of course, the opposite is true."
