What this service covers

Facial work begins with final audio, language, transcript, character rig, expression range, acting direction, frame rate, shot length, and camera distance. The existing facial controls are audited before animation.

The package can include phoneme-driven mouth shapes, emotional transitions, brows, eyes, blinks, gaze, cheeks, and scene-specific performance. A missing facial rig or blendshape set can be created when explicitly included.

Lip sync is an artistic performance rather than a perfect phonetic measurement. Audio quality, rig range, stylization, language, and camera angle affect the result. Voice rights and supplied recordings remain the client's responsibility.

What's included

  • Lip sync to approved audio
  • Defined emotion and expression work
  • Eye, blink, and gaze detail
  • Named target-format exports

Frequently asked questions

Can you animate a character without facial controls?

Yes, after reviewing the topology and target style. A facial rig or blendshape setup must be added to the scope before animation.

Can you lip-sync languages other than English?

Yes, when final audio and a transcript are provided. Language, pronunciation, rig range, and style affect the required mouth shapes.

How long does lip sync take?

It depends on audio duration, scene count, rig quality, acting detail, languages, and review cycles. I confirm timing after inspecting the files.

Motion Capture Cleanup

Motion capture cleanup turns a finite set of raw clips into usable animation through jitter reduction, foot and contact fixes, retargeting, trimming, loops, and polish.

Unity Game Development

Unity game development turns a defined concept into a testable mobile, PC, or WebGL build with scoped mechanics, content, UI, integrations, and performance targets.

Unreal Engine Game Development

Unreal Engine game development creates a scoped UE5 prototype, vertical slice, or multi-level test build with Blueprint, C++, visuals, and target performance criteria.

Game Prototype Development

Game prototype development creates a fast, playable test of one defined mechanic, gameplay loop, or pitch before a full production commitment.

3D Weapon Modeling

3D weapon modeling creates a defined realistic or stylized weapon asset around an agreed engine, camera distance, polygon budget, textures, moving parts, and formats.

3D Vehicle Modeling

3D vehicle modeling creates a defined realistic or stylized vehicle around approved proportions, target use, polygon and texture budgets, moving parts, and formats.
