Help Wanted

Current Tasks:

• Remove Win32 dependencies, making the system cross platform. I'd like to get at least the playback demo running on Linux.
• Add real-time feedback inside 3DSMax. This would involve getting the deformation code up and running, possibly through a skinlike UI. This could dramatically improve the usability of the system. For example, you could do all the animation of key frames in max, or if a higher level of quality is desired a set of initial Morph target could be generated by expression and the artist could then refine the ones that needed work.
• Revamp the key frame parser which is currently very basic. Possible additional functionality: real lexer, specifying multiple layers of animation, scripted procedural noise, function curve editor would also be cool
• Currently the system can't be compiled into release mode, the optimizer does something to my animation inner loops.
• Could use some more sample content
• Port the creation tools to other 3d apps. They are pretty simple I'd be happy to assist in any porting efforts.
• Get the Text To Speech engine working with the animation system so that the character can talk and express emotions simultaneously.
• If anyone has access to a phonetic analyzer.
