I see that Muvizu doesn't have private messaging.

Muvizu has private messaging, just go to the person you want to send a message to's profile and click 'send a message' under their picture.]]> Thu, 19 Sep 2013 21:38:20 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic2925-is-there-any-way-to-use-3d-assets-from-xtranormal.aspx Message from mos6507

Yes it is. Because it's not practical to record all live voices. And anybody who attempts to do a whole show with just their own voice sounds like a guy telling a bedtime story and "putting on voices" with falsettos and what not. Lame. I'd rather use the variety of TTS and compensate for the lack of dynamics through other means.

BTW, it's actually a skill to write scripts for TTS engines. To a novice, they will mispronounce everything and it will be a monotone. But if you get good at it, the pronunciations will be spot on and they will actually seem to emote a bit. Don't just write it all off as Stephen Hawking.

"I wish they could have been absorbed by someone instead of disappearing forever."


The holding company (Fairhaven Capital) still owns it, but I doubt they'd let it go for what it's really worth on the open market.

"What’s our story?
Xtranormal made your stories come to life. It’s that simple. Create a story. Share a story. Watch a story.
Funny? Romantic? Dramatic? Xtranormal helped you create amazing interactive stories with a few clicks and a little imagination. Ta-da! You’re instantly an animator, poet, pundit, educator or comic. Couldn’t be easier.
We also drove our company into the ground by never evolving our software, even though we did try rewriting it, as well as changing our pricing again and again and pissing off customers by not listening to (or even censoring) their feedback.
That was Xtranormal. And now we’re dead."


A salutary tale, don't you think?]]> Sat, 03 Aug 2013 22:37:56 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic2925-is-there-any-way-to-use-3d-assets-from-xtranormal.aspx Message from urbanlamb
Otherwise a lot of xtranormal works much differently then muvizu.

so no to that

TTS you can use online TTS generators and import the audio into muvizu for now. I dont know if they have plans to add this as TTS is not very popular.]]> Thu, 18 Jul 2013 18:25:01 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic2925-is-there-any-way-to-use-3d-assets-from-xtranormal.aspx Message from nblyleven Thu, 18 Jul 2013 18:12:45 GMT
