LipSync-RVK Poser Error

Whenever i try to run rvk poser or lipsync, blender spits at me saying that the Redraw function doesn’t exist. The error, it says, is in this line:

stringX = stringX+('|%s' %ip.name)

then, in the console, it says:

 NameError: global name 'Redraw' is not defined

I am using blender 2.28, and don’t know what to do.

I could be wrong, but I think those scripts only work in older versions of Blender, 2.23 for lipsync as I recall. THis is due to re-writes of the python API, and 2.28 features the new API. Rumor has it the new API should remain the same for the next versions of blender, hopefully someone who knows python better than me will convert some of those older scripts to the new API for us non programmers.

I have a second user account on my machine (Win XP), with different Blender and Python installs (and the Python path set as a user global variable) so I can use the older scripts, that seems to work sometimes.

With the new audio scrubbing features and the named rvk sliders in Blender 2.28, it’s almost as easy to do your lip syncs right in Blender as to bring something in from a third party app. Of course, if you already have a lot done in the app, this isn’t an option. I’ve found I can lip sync very quickly and accurately with 2.28.

hi ,
I’m not really objctive on this subject, but with some expiriance with this subject (lip sync), I think that the diffrent between using the script and do it manually, will be in the amount of lip sync you need to do, I know that agood lip sync can take really alot of time…
I think somthing like that will be really a good feature to give blender advantge if it will be fixed 2.28 or even implanted into blender as an animation tool, sorry for the off topicing this is somthing Ishould post in blender.org :slight_smile:

I didn’t know you could name the RVK sliders! How?

Also, i want to know if you can set negative values for the RVK sliders in blender 2.28. By what i’ve tried, you can’t.

You do both from the same location. In the Actions window for your rvk’ed mesh, you’ll see a collapse arrow for rvk sliders. Use it to show the sliders. Then, with the mouse pointer over the key name (Key1, Key2, etc.), hit the N key. You’ll get a popup allowing you to rename the key and to set the range for the slider.

Cool! thanks.
