Need to make your characters talk but don’t want to spend days or weeks doing it?

Voice-O-Matic (Maya Edition) is a powerful, easy-to-use plug-in which automates the lip synchronization process for your animated CG characters directly in Autodesk 3ds max. Simply feed a recorded audio file to Voice‑O‑Matic and it will automatically generate timing and lip position data for your characters.

Flexible is the one word which best describes Voice-O-Matic . No matter which type of character setup you wish to use : from shapes to complex bones-based rigs, and no matter the language for which you wish to create lip synchronization, Voice-O-Matic delivers.
