making a Complete Character Set character speak

[Frank Verberne]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get one of the avatars from the Complete Character Set to speak, using vizact.speak(). However, the error message that the character does not have a jaw bone appears, and nothing happens. Furthermore, I found an old post by Farshizzo (http://forum.worldviz.com/showthread...lete+character) stating that the complete characters don't have a jaw bone and therefore cannot speak.

But, on the website http://www.worldviz.com/products/vizard/videos.html, in the video facial animation, a character from the complete character set is shown, that can move it's jaw bone! Furthermore, the vcc_male and vcc_female characters can also speak, and they seem to have the exact same bonestructure as the complete characters. I've tried using the skeleton and talk morph to make a complete character talk. However, that did not work. Any suggestions for solving this problem?

On a side note: it's rather strange that in a demo movie, a 'talking' complete character is shown, while they cannot make use of the vizact.speak() function. I know about the bio head that can speak as well, but I would like to use one of the avatars from the complete character set for this.

Kind regards,
Frank
