Speech Technology / Syncing Voice to Mouth with MACE

« on: September 29, 2023, 01:55:39 pm »

I think I remember years ago  there was a program on the Micorsoft site for MACE (and other tools) that allowed you to sync audio with mouth positions of your agent character.  I have looked for this program on the web with no luck. Wondering if someone might know where I could find it? Thanks!

General Discussion / Character generation tools

Hello All,

I have use ACE in the past to make MSAgent characters. It has been years since I did this. The graphics program (long Gone and name forgot) I used allowed me to save screen caps in BMP 256 bitmap. In addition the 256 bit color palette of each capture matched. Thus when they were placed into ACE there were no issues. With todays programs (Coral Paint) (AVS video editor), I capture the frame, edit and save to GIF 256 bitmap (program will not allow me to save to BMP 256 bitmap). When I import the frames into ACE the palette for each frame is different and thus the character is all messed up.

I purchased people putty years ago, can't find my license key and the website to purchase again seems to be down. But if memory serves me right it really is no help in building your own character from a video file.

Now retired with plenty of time on my hands, I would like to update/add to the my character. Unfortunately, I have not found a way to overcome the palette concern.

Just wondering if the group is aware of any newer tools that can be used to take screencaps from a video and use these to make an ACS or HTR file much like what was previously done with ACE.

Thanks for reading an any feed back!

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Re: Ultra Hal 7 for Android Beta

« on: September 09, 2023, 04:15:00 pm »

Hello Robert et.al.. 

I installed the ultra hal apk on my Moto G Power (2022). I am running Android version 12.

I had no issues with installing the App.  When it came to registering I did need to request the authentication code a second time.

Like Checker57 I choose Jessi as my Avatar. All went well except the app can not hear me when I talk. Typing is okay.  I checked permissions and both microphone and nearby devices is active but I received a message "Speech Recognition not Available on this device". Normally I have spyware google disabled on my phone,  I enable both Google and Google voice services. I no longer get the message but there was no response when pressing the microphone button and talking. After rebooting the phone everything was fine.

In conclusion, I appreciate the effort put toward the app. I look forward to future updates and (being the dirty old man) perhaps the ability to use some of the plugins I have purchase (such as Jessi nude) :-)

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Re: Microsoft Agent support is being discontinued

« on: January 07, 2015, 09:53:20 am »

Ouch...  I wonder how this will play out with full featured tablets like the Microsoft Surface Pro 3. I bought it for the convenience of a tablet, but the versatility of a PC. Anyway, I look forward (as I have for a few years) to the next Hal release. BTW there was traffic on the Yahoo MS agent group a couple months ago where some one was working in a MSAgent equivalent for Android..

Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / Free skins for fullbod female

« on: April 12, 2005, 09:22:30 pm »

Hello Group,
Probally because I am a newby to Hal and People Putty and perhaps because I am dense :-). I can't seem to get the full body working. I have The paid versions of both Programs. In my case I have created a head with people putty and I would like to add a body to the head. After following the directions, I just have a full body that blends with the head (over-writes). Again it is probally something stupid that I am not doing. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Oh yes, given that I do not have spouse to offend can I get the visible enhanced versions of the full body Characters, my Email is Y2kdancr@yahoo.com.

Thanks!
