New and Improved face sets

[Tuicemen]

Okay Neo and a updated Jerri are done and ready for those interested!

[Tuicemen]

With my discovery of e-speaking I found it had a selection of Avatars.
None realy jumped out at me so I decided to see if I could convert a Face set.
Yep, It is possible. e-speaking uses 12 pics but I already had these generated so it was a simple mater of defining them in the XML File.
If anyone is interested you can get the Avatar (faceSet) here

Interesting. .... Er... I mean fascinating.

I prefere to use e-speaking without the Avatar showing (that is possible).
But I had to play!

Tuicemen, I am interested in downloading the Jerri face set to use with BVC but when I try to register with your user forum I never get the activation email. Have tried several times with no success. Userid is same as here on x10 forums. (danoathome) Hoping you can help. Thx in advance.

Have you checked your junk inbox?
Sometimes your server will place the e-mail there!
I see an error report that email wasn't accepted for what ever reason!
I've sent you a personal email regarding this!

As I continue to play with creating facesets and see how they perform in different programs, I realized the need for a larger graphic set.
MS speech was created to make use of a 22 graphic set for the lipsync. Using any less reduces the performance quality.
For this reason I've started to create sets using the larger graphic set.
Unfortunately this means many software that has taken advantage of the deduced number set won't be capable of using the new sets.
However if one has some experience with photoshop or another paint program that can convert files to the gif format it will be possible to convert a set to the old 7 graphic set.
The first set created using this larger graphic set is Operator II currently in testing with PCC.

With the creation of T.A.C. I found the current sets wouldn't work on a android 
Syncing to TTS evens isn't possible with the native google voice engine. 
I was able to utilize the closed mouth gif of the sets but away to utilize the other files needed to be found.
The result is a two gif faceset for androids.
I have converted 4 of the sets to the droid format.

As for performace I'd love to hear some feed back as to how well these work on your droid.
I'm sure the performace can be tweeked a little more then I've already done.
Here is Nicole on the AirPad 7

I find that the facesets on the droid are very nice and the lips sync is pretty good.  They appear right on especially with smaller android devices.  They appeear more precise on my phone then on that 7" tablet but either way they are very good

Do you find one set performs better or worse then the others or do they all perform the same.
