Hi all,
Finally we can all enjoy a fully-flesh character in our projects. By fully flesh I don't mean the toy-characters people share for free, but a character with the following characteristics.
Note: The technology that you will get is NOT possible to implemented in any of the avatar communities (Second Life, etc). SL is still very young to support this. The primary use of this work should be for serious AI projects. But if you want t o just have fun with it, feel free to it. 100 Euros is a price that EVERYONE can afford.
1) 2000 animations that cover almost every project needs.
2) Dynamic clothes pants, top and shoes. Character clothes are separate models animated to flow naturally with every character movements (even walking). Clothes have more than 2000 animations to achieve that. Animations and clothe took more than a year to complete.
3) Several textures for both top and pants.
4) A tool inspired by the design of Talos (an authoring tool for Virtual Humans) that allows automatic creation of Haptek scripts.
The Talos script parser as I call it, features the following:
a) Automatic creation of script ready to be executed by the Haptek engine. For example, Talos will convert the following text into a script that accurately animates the character, top, pants and shoes in sync with the text:
(open_tag) BOOKMARK mark=‘anim,suggest’ (close_tag) Can I suggest you to have a look on wall (open_tag)BOOKMARK mark=‘anim,show_sea’(close_tag) that goes down the bold cliff and towards the sea?
Note: Open_tag and close_tag stand for the standard opening and closing tags. For some reason I can not display them here, correctly.
b) Accurate extraction of tags from already tagged texts. These tags (shown above in red) can easily be used in Talos to tag texts in any language.
c) Single/batch conversion of any text to .ogg format (the sound format used by the Haptek engine).
d) Ability to use SAPI 5.0 compatible tags in your texts. Usage of Loquendo compatible tags is also possible. These tags add realistic effects (e.g., sneezing, laughter) to Loquendo TTS voices (e.g., (http://tts.loquendo.com/ttsdemo/default.asp?page=id&language=en) but work only with the Loquendo voices.
e) Limited automatic tagging of texts. A script parser allows you to automatically and accurately tag a given text. Currently works only with a limited set of texts, but I am working hard to extend it.
If you want to use the character in your projects please email me at: virtual.guide.systems at googlemail.com |

I agree, looks good.
Show me an animation or high-def picture that demonstrates your products abilities and you might get a customer.

| Ok, you have stated that all the free efforts of the character artists here are sub par. I might as well be saying that my characters can magically make you cool. Let's see the goods. |

Hi
Apologies for not replying back... I am very busy!!! I will make a video soon and upload it to youtube. The product is REAL and it works 100%. In the past few days I was working on adding a cleaning feature in the script parser I have created for this product. The idea is to produce large scripts (maximim 9 minutes long) with 100% accuracy. I will let you know more details soon
BTW here is my blog for more details
