Eias3D Grasshopper Posted February 4, 2019 Report Posted February 4, 2019 I am thinking very hard about getting EIAS3D for realistic character animation, but the final plunge would be quality and speed so I am trying to learn more about the software. I got the book from Amazon Professional 3D With Electric Image Universe by Lance Evans, and was really surprised to see mention of a software called Headgames by Graphlink Studios which apparently does realistic quality automated lipsync. I had never heard of it. Is it too good to be true ? Could anyone comment please ? Did it work on a dongle, and the biggest question of all - how do I get it ? Thanks everyone. Quote
Tomas Egger Posted February 5, 2019 Report Posted February 5, 2019 Ola my friend! The next EIAS version which we are working right now will have improved tools for Characters, you need to check Mixamo.com which use a lot Motion Capture. Mixamo had a tool for automatic lip sync named "Face Plus". FACE PLUS LINK You can also use Iphone X apps, like Face Cap:FACE CAP LINK When you buy a EIAS copy, you will receive by mail a hardware dongle. Thanks Tom Quote

It seems as though Lance Evans himself is the creator of Headgames. Graphlink Studios is his company. I dare say the whole process may either be more trouble than it's worth, and may just be a waste of time. It's old software, so even if Lance did sell / give you a copy, the chances of this working with modern Mac OS and modern EIAS would IMO be very slim. I don't know if Headgames used a dongle. If you want, you can try contacting Lance through Linkedin, but I think you should be looking at more modern alternatives, as suggested above by Tomas. https://www.linkedin.com/in/graphlinkmedia/ Quote
Tomas Egger Posted February 5, 2019 Report Posted February 5, 2019 Ola my friends, Only a test of what we are doing right now, I just opened the simple file from Face Cap website page on the new EIAS and rendered, this is the result :) Hope you like it :) Thanks Tom FACE_CAP_EIAS_v3.mov Quote
Eias3D Grasshopper Posted February 5, 2019 Author Report Posted February 5, 2019 Thank you Paul P. Tomas, I'm very happy to hear there will be new character functions. Any rough estimate at all of when the new release might be please ? Quote
Tomas Egger Posted February 5, 2019 Report Posted February 5, 2019 Ola my friend, Not yet, but we are running to release if everything goes fine, this year. Thanks Tom Quote
