OC3 Entertainment has released FaceFX 2012, a cutting edge solution for creating realistic Facial Animation from Audio files. FaceFX is the culmination of years of experience working with lip-synchronization, 3D Graphics, and Facial Animation. The product makes it easy to batch process thousands of Audio files for your game, add expressions to a single Animation without ruining the lip-synchronization, tweak an Animation to perfection, or integrate the entire solution into your art pipeline.
