About Moviesandbox



Moviesandbox is an Open-Source graphical filmmaking tool in progress, formerly developed for the Unreal Tournament engine and now based on C++ and OpenGL.

It allows you to easily create your own characters, sets and poses and direct them in the way you imagine. It is also an open project, which means that all the code and tools are free and open for people to change or add to, and, where possible, licensed under the lesser GPL. Development started in early 2006.

Lipsyncing alpha patch 1375

Sunday, September 16, 2007

I just finished implementing a very quick draft of the lipsyncing feature and realised that it makes sense to push 1380 a bit, so that you'll get all the facial animation stuff in one package.
Instead, i give you 1375 (just unzip to your UT2004 folder as usual)! It's only a patch for those of you who really want to try out stuff with lipsyncing. Again, it's very early, but things are moving, quite literally.
You can find a changelist of the patch on the Wiki - where i also put a very rudimentary tutorial for those interested in lipsyncing.
To those not so early adopters, i'd suggest you just enjoy the clip below (it's a bit off - timewise, but hey):



Requests for V1380

Tuesday, September 11, 2007

I thought i'd send an open question to all moviesandboxers asking what you'd like to have implemented next or what bugs seem most annoying to you. I'll finish a new version by the end of the week and so far, the list of implementations include:

- a face with lipsyncing
- fixed attachment functionality
- Node to hide characters and drawings

Let me know if there are things you'd like added/changed/removed. Or leave a note on the Wiki!
