The Work Flow

Lipsyncing

Lipsyncing interface

Papagayo Moho file

• open Papagayo, import the sound & write the text, and sync the words
• export as voice file from Papagayo
• start blender 2.5x, and open you character blender file
• make shape keys for the character.
• name the shape keys EXACTLY as their corresponding phonemes in the exported Moho file.
• enable the add-on from preferences, it will open in the tool shelf.
• switch to Lipsyncer menu.
• import the voice file.
• select the object with shape keys.
• adjust the ease in and out fields, and shape key value with frame offset.
• adjust the hold value if you want the keys to hold in slow lipsync.
• push the plot keys button, and it will plot the keys for ya. :)

Jlipsync & Yolo Moho file

• same as above, plus checking the Jlipsync or Yolo file support button.

Notes

• Enabling Jlipsync or Yolo file support button will hide ease in and out value as the exported moho file contain these values.
• The script will ignore the keys which has no shape keys with same name.

• switch to Blinker menu, and press the Specific button.
• add a shape key and name it (blink) to the character.
• adjust the ease in and out fields, and shape key value with fame offset.
• adjust the spacing between blinks, and how many you want.
• push the add blinking button to add a blink key :)

Random

• same as above, but you'll have a Random field value to how much random shifting to the keys you want.
