I still can't find the walking animation! Sorry!


When you 'Direct Animation', you see the control panel with all the animations you can choose from. You'll also see a large white circle with arrows - this is on the ground directly under your character. To make the character walk, just click on the arrows and 'drag' to the character's destination.]]> Mon, 09 Aug 2010 10:30:22 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic296-talking.aspx Message from lodylody Sun, 08 Aug 2010 22:24:52 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic296-talking.aspx Message from lodylody Sun, 08 Aug 2010 21:25:02 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic296-talking.aspx Message from glasgowjim
Glad to help - the Direct X problem seems to be pretty common with Windows 7 users.

Yes, the lip syncing is automatic - you just need to turn it on and off for the characters. (no point in every character mouthing every word in a conversation).

You can choose your animations in the Prepare>Animation section and apply them to characters in the Direct>Animation section - that includes walking, running, walking styles etc.

The tutorials are a good place to start; they are pretty informative and give you a few tips and tricks that you might miss yourself. You can find them at:

Take care,

And thanks - the DirectX worked this time!]]> Sun, 08 Aug 2010 20:38:42 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic296-talking.aspx Message from glasgowjim
You get lip syncing to work by uploading an Audio Track through Prepare>Dialogue then applying it in Direct>Dialogue, you can then set the character you have selected to "Talk" or "Shush" in the same way you direct animations.

The tutorial video found below has a more detailed demonstration:
