Caligari has announced the release of Truespace version 5.2 with a new facial animator tool that generates animated human facial movements directly from speech or text input using high-level animation controls. Facial animator can use a generic model of a human head or a model provided by the user.
In addition to facial animator and lip-sync, Truespace 5.2 also includes an enhanced key frame editor.
Truespace will be available in December 2001 for $595.
