Super Easy Face Animation

Make It Move Media in Animation

Make any character talk in one click.

Pick a voice clip

A .wav, .mp3, .m4a, .ogg or a phone video.

Analyze & Bake

A drawn mouth keyed to every syllable.

Press play

The eyes blink and react on their own.

Pick a voice clip, press Analyze & Bake, and Super Easy Face Animation keys a drawn mouth to every syllable while the eyes blink and react on their own. It works with any rigged character that has a head bone, from scanned action figures to Character Creator, Mixamo and Rigify rigs.

Features

SIX SHEETS

Six sprite sheets included

Three mouth charts (General, Robotic Metal, Hand-Drawn) with a drawing for every sound, from REST and M/B/P to AH, OH and OO/W, and three matching eye charts with 17 expressions each, from Open and Happy to Angry, Shocked, Dizzy and Wink.

LIP SYNC

Real lip sync

Uses the free Rhubarb Lip Sync engine for phoneme-accurate mouths, with a one-click Download Rhubarb button. No Rhubarb? A built-in loudness mode still animates the mouth.

EYES

Eyes that act

Natural blinks (early, at speech pauses, and every few seconds), plus 17 expressions you can hold over any stretch of frames.

YOUR OWN SHEETS

Bring your own sheets

Point Reference Folder at your own labelled sprite sheets. The scanner finds the grid and crops the labels off by itself.

Liveliness

Follows the loudness of every syllable, so the mouth keeps moving with the voice instead of holding one shape.

Overrides

Pick a frame range and any mouth or eye drawing (a shout, a wink, dizzy eyes) and it plays over the lip sync.

See it before you pick it

Every drawing menu shows thumbnails, the Viseme Map shows each sound's drawing beside it, and the drawing you pick appears on the character straight away.

Snaps to the head

The mouth and eye cards attach to the head bone, follow every move, and shrink-wrap to the face.

Mask mode

For masked or helmeted characters, the face mesh itself opens, widens and puckers with the voice instead of showing a drawing. Use the automatic region or a vertex group you paint.

Several characters in one scene

Each with its own sheet, voice track and keys.

Video clips welcome

Use a .wav, .mp3, .m4a, .ogg or a phone .mov/.mp4; the voice is pulled out for you and placed in the Sequencer.

Phone-ready video

One button sets MP4 / H.264 / AAC output in portrait, landscape or square.

How it works

1. Scan a sheet

The scanner finds every drawing, leaves the labels out, names each drawing and fills the mouth map by sound.

2. Build the cards

A mouth card (and an eyes card) is placed on the face, parented to the head bone.

3. Analyze & Bake

Rhubarb (or loudness) turns the voice into mouth shapes. Each shape is keyed as a sprite change on the card, so playback and renders are instant.

Everything is ordinary keyframes on ordinary objects. Nothing needs the add-on to render, and the .blend opens anywhere.
