We've been putting in literally hundreds of improvements into Character Animator Beta. In this video, we'll walk through a few new features and a couple of improvements to old ones. We'll start with Transcript-Based Lip Sync, a way to add text to your audio file to make character lip sync more accurate. Then we'll show off Smart Replays, a condensed version of triggerable replays that makes them significantly easier to use in the timeline. Next we'll take a look at all the new stuff that has been added to Puppet Maker, including several new styles, faster speed, and a name field. And we'll finish with body tracker improvements like body turns and individual recording tracks. Please let us know what you think — your feedback will help make these features as good as they can possibly be!
