General Discussion / Re: IDEA SUGGESTION TO ROBERT

Yeah it looks pretty straightforward. I've used the trial version of FaceGen (http://www.facegen.com/) which is similar and that was dead easy to use.

Snap ! I once thought about this too. I don't think I got anything working. I think one problem is how to animate the cough or sneeze, but I guess the Haptek wizards might have an idea.

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Re: HalMenu.HalCommands
« on: September 19, 2014, 06:08:33 pm »
Not sure if that's right sorry.

For example you used to be able to do this :

Code: [Select]
HalCommands = HalCommands & "<HAPTEXT>My extra Haptek command</HAPTEXT>"

General Discussion / Animated head project I have been working on.
« on: September 05, 2014, 12:52:06 pm »
Some of you might be interested in this project I am working on (mentioned in another thread). In a nutshell I import a Daz3D figure, chop the head off and then animate it.

I just put a video up on YouTube here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9feCLs-_7I

There's also a topic on AiDreams here going into a bit more detail : http://aidreams.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=6913.0

Whether I can get this into something usable with Hal is another thing entirely. I'm not sure where I am going with it. I have my own bot/assistant I am working on too and it will definitely be part of that. The question is if I can get it to be standalone in the way Haptek is. Also there's the licensing issue - I can't distribute Daz3D models, well apart from if I got some kind of deal, but I don't think I want all that hassle and expense.

But I could maybe do something like a tutorial on how to make the models but that's quite complex.

Anyway I am rambling.

Thanks for the kind words. :)

I don't use IClone. I built my own animation engine using MS Visual Studio in the C# language. It took me a while to get my head around it.

The model itself is a Daz3D model. In the example I posted I was using the basic Victoria 5 model. I only used her head for that example. I found the poly count to be a bit too high, so my later work was on the much simpler (relatively) Victoria 4 model from Daz. I can load up full bodies, but the actual animation of her limbs is another hill to climb. That's why I am working just on heads at the moment.

I currently have her blinking, and the last thing I got working was her eyes moving around. I have a lot more I want to do, but I have been busy with other stuff, like coding an AIML interpreter and playing with open source voice generation. My goal is to build my own assistant that will run and live on a Linux box I built. But she will have a lot of web access too and I would like to hook her up to my Android tablet too. There's so much I want to do !

The poem is 'Daisy Daisy' : http://www.metrolyrics.com/daisy-daisy-bicycle-built-for-two-lyrics-henry-dacre.html

I used it (and other poems) because I can easily see how my mouth animation is working out without having to talk to a bot repeatedly. Also I like it because that's the poem Hal 9000 in 2001 A Space Odyssey started to recite when he was being shut down.

Her voice was English UK Emma from Ivona, which you can try out here : http://www.ivona.com/

You are correct about the Australian accent. That voice is named 'Karen'. I think Nuance may have bought that company, I forget their name, but she can be found here : http://www.nextup.com/nuance.html

Why is this person not on the payroll? 

That person is me, maybe one day I will get on a pay roll for this kind of thing  ;D

I started working in 3D after those Flixz avatars. Don't want to derail this topic but this is an example :  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3p5la_0Ar8

Yeah I have seen some animations, I was just wondering if you had seen something. I just got a tablet so I will be looking into this some more.

Well it's the weekend, I doubt you will get a reply yet.

The reason it doesn't work is like I said, it's not been worked on or updated for years. Some people have it working, I think on older systems like XP. You will have to wiat until someone pops in who is still using it to get more advice.

Their forum has been closed for years despite it saying try again later...

I wouldn't touch anything they sell with a barge pole anymore, not unless I had a dedicated older system for it and frankly that's never going to happen.

Zabaware has tried to fund an open source character engine, but that's stopped short of being usable at this time.

I suggest you wait and see what the people that still use Haptek have to say as I gave up on it years ago.

What animation software did you think would work with Android ?

Haptek is pretty much dead software now. You could email jack@haptek.com if he still works there. Otherwise someone else on this site might be able to suggest something.

Sorry I just feel that UltraHal, as good a bot as it is is, is still far from being able to make his own decisions... I feel it should be okay to speak my opinion too. We will just have to disagree. Peace. :)
