great idea, never thought of that 😀 forgot to say that it uses one of your random number generators hehe

Ha ha, that is absolutely nuts! 😀 The action with the mouth is amazing - so simple, yet really convincing. We have a guy at work who is deaf and is a master lip reader - maybe he can tell us what this little fellow is saying!! 😉

i would love to do such a project, my problem is the lack of motivation when doing a project alone.

have i allready mentioned that i waste most of my SM time with prototyping things that are completely useless 😉 -

see the egyptian Dancing Man

or the hidden panel hidden xy pad panel

but i have a lot of fun with SM, believe me. 😀

you MUST do a synth with this face! will be really scary and funny! Sure 10k downloads for it!

Yes, but it would be way cool to see him move to some music instead of just random. Like Pall said, teach him the vowels!

Using a bitmap-matrix as a animated knob would look a lot better and be easier to do (like the delay lama). but i decided to keep the face build with SM-internal-graphics only. for a natural looking animation a few more things are needed. so if you want to keep this "project" alive (i´ll open a new thread in the project forum...but only if necessary) then you can contribute the following GUI-modules or tips to :

good loking eyes with wimps and eyebrows optimised mouth with teeth and tongue main head with hair,ears and chin nose with ultra-high-realistic 3d holes

maybe you have seen that i´ve used waves to animate the face. i think most of needed shapes are possible with that let´s go ! 😀

A few rules keep this a friendly place. You agree to them once.

Shown next to what you post, here and in the app. It doesn’t have to be your real name: 3–24 lower-case letters, digits or _ (capitals become lower case, spaces become _).

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
