making head talk

[antoine]

hey everybody,

we modeled a head from photos in 3dmeNow and would like to make it talk in vizard. however were facing a bit of a problem with the preparation of the head to use with the head command in peoplemaker (as described in "Adding Morph targets" and "Making talking head" in worldviz references).

Our question is how we can access the morph (filename: mouth_open) from peoplemaker in the vizard script? Or are we missing out on a step in the proper way it has to be done?

The example lines of code

speech = vizact.speak('jfk.wav')
avatar.addAction(speech)

wont work if we run the script, i.e. the head doesnt talk.

Many thanks in advance!
