plucky tree

orchid vector

Ok, no go to the equivalent folder on your computer
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\4.0\scripts\addons\import_runtime_mhx2\data\hm8\faceshapes

plucky tree

done

plucky tree
#

done

orchid vector
#

Ok, so i want to make sure that everything is understood. at the end of this, you will take an Audio file of the words you want the character to say. You will run it through Papagayo-NG. It will automatically output a lipsync file from the Audio. That will then be used in Blender there to move the characters mouth. so you have the audio file of things you want the character to say?

plucky tree
#

done

orchid vector
plucky tree
#

i had done earlier when you told

orchid vector
#

cool. ok, you need to Export your Character from MakeHuman in MHX format

plucky tree
orchid vector
#

mhx2

plucky tree
#

orchid vector
#

Ok, go ahead and Import it into Blender, using these settings

#

plucky tree

orchid vector
plucky tree
#

image.png
#

the one appearing in the box

orchid vector
#

also, make sure you have the Mesh selected and are in Object mode

plucky tree
#

how do i go to object mode

#

sorry i have just installed blender

#

orchid vector
plucky tree
#

ok am in object mode

orchid vector
plucky tree
orchid vector
plucky tree
#

yes clicked

orchid vector
#

Ok, the shapekeys are not there. that means the Import of MHX probably did not have the correct things selected. Show me the Import window. You will probably have to start over.

#

Also, I was supposed to be asleep an hour ago, so we may have to try again tomorrow

plucky tree
#

please just 5 minutes i would be extremely grateful

#

i will try to do this asap

#

export window

orchid vector
#

Ok, now show me where you put the faceshapes.mxa file

plucky tree
#

C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\4.1\scripts\addons\import_runtime_mhx2\data\hm8\faceshapes

orchid vector
#

well, that is perfect. it should have worked. Ok, i am downloading Blender 4.1 to make sure it is not a problem with Blender itself

plucky tree
#

should i downgrade to 4.0?

#

just a minute will do asap if needed

orchid vector
#

I am using 3.6 and 4.0

plucky tree
#

oh

orchid vector
#

trying to test in 4.1 now

#

It seems to work fine in 4.1

image.png
plucky tree
#

did i do something wrong in makehuman?

orchid vector
#

ok, one second.. I think i know what is wrong. Select the characters Head, instead of the Clothing

plucky tree
#

yay

orchid vector
#

Ok, now with the still selected, open the Lipsync add-on tab

plucky tree
#

um where this would be?

#

like in mine layout

orchid vector
#

press the N key

plucky tree
#

for me animation isnt appearing

image.png
#

the animation tab

orchid vector
#

it appears you did not install the Lipsync Addon

plucky tree
#

just a sec i will install it if missed

orchid vector
plucky tree
#

done

#

thnx

orchid vector
#

Ok, now open Papagayo

plucky tree
#

opened

orchid vector
#

one sec, i have to try to recall how to download the required things.. there should be a Menu in papagayo that allows you to download stuff like Allosaurus

#

download everything

plucky tree
#

this is how it appears for me

orchid vector
#

click here and see what it says

image.png
plucky tree
orchid vector
#

uninstall that one entirely, you won't need it

plucky tree
#

installing just a sec

#

giving these errors

orchid vector
#

did you fully uninstall the previous version?

plucky tree
#

yes

#

i will recheck just a sec

#

this is the version

image.png
orchid vector
#

because i literally Just did that to make sure it works.. I downloaded the same file and installed it. it is working here, so i am not sure what is happening. Do you have a firewall blocking it?

plucky tree
#

just a sec i am reinstalling it

orchid vector
#

download them in order, perhaps

#

Rhubarb is not needed for what we are doing

plucky tree
#

one downloaded

#

ffmpeg downloading

orchid vector
#

ok, and get the AI Model

plucky tree
#

downloaded

plucky tree
orchid vector
#

Ok, now Drag you audio file to the top portion of the windows there

#

screenshot papagayo

plucky tree
orchid vector
#

Ok, so it worked for you?

plucky tree
orchid vector
plucky tree
#

ok

#

exported

#

the spoken text seems a bit weird

orchid vector
#

What do you mean? The Text that it is displaying? if so, that is phoenetic. it will not really be readable

plucky tree
#

yes the text being displayed

#

ok no issues

orchid vector
#

yeah, no worries. that is a phonetic breakdown. let's see how it looks in Blender

plucky tree
#

loaded

orchid vector
#

make sure you can see the face

image.png
plucky tree
#

clicked

#

face is a bit visible

orchid vector
plucky tree
#

um the keys arent there

image.png
orchid vector
#

You needed to have the Face seleceted when you Plotted the Keys to the timeline, and if the face is Not selected, you will not see the keys later either, but the Animation should still play

plucky tree
#

wow

#

omg

orchid vector
#

🙂

plucky tree
#

it worked

#

thnx a lot

#

now i just export it and use it in unity?

orchid vector
#

You're welcome! Now you'll have to make sure that Blender and Papagayo are set to the same Framerate. Also, you can bring the Audio file in to blender and they will sync. you can move them to Unity, etc.

#

basically, yes

plucky tree
#

and its nighttime i believe

orchid vector
#

I never did get around to making a tutorial for it, but here is a screen shot

plucky tree
#

thnx

orchid vector
#

but now that you know it works, you should have the energy to continue

#

Ok, be well. I'll be back tomorrow

plucky tree
#

good night, thank you very much

plucky tree
#

Hi, I wanted to ask how to make the same model speak multiple dialogs? Like I want another set of dialogs to begin when a particular condition is met

plucky tree
#

Also any way to add hand motions etc, like I have heard of Maximo for this purpose but dont know much about it

plucky tree
#

Hi @orchid vector you there? sorry i dont use discord much so dont know if my messages are being sent to you or not

orchid vector
plucky tree
#

oh sorry, what timezone are you from?

orchid vector
#

PST. What are you having issue with? I assume getting the model into Unity, since we've seen it all work in Blender

plucky tree
#

hi i gave up with adding facial expressions for the time being, i will get on them later

#

thanks a lot for the help 😄
