Example of Crazy Talk 5 Script's "Translation" into iClone 3

Illustration of the interpretation of a 2D Crazy Talk 5-generated facial animation by the 3D package iClone 3.

The initial flat face is cartoony and a bit of a mess but it DOES achieve some subtlety of expression and character that is largely lost on the target. I increased the strength of the animation to 115% in iClone to combat the catatonia. The target, there, is poorly-cut (but the best I can do) with as mouth as unlikely as that of Jack Nicholson's portrayal of The Joker....

Perhaps the addition of full-body movement will compensate for/distract from this. I intend to create a set with seating, a blazing fireplace, interesting lighting and a variety of camera angles. This may give me the opportunity to shoot him at his best so that his ROBOTICness doesn't distract from and HINDER what he has to say.
