Are There Any Artists out there?

[smeighan]

I have been using the free vector drawing tool InkScape. It is awesome! http://inkscape.org/download/

It works on Windows, Linux and the Mac.

 

I am thinking of implementing singing pumpkins ans Christmas trees for this year In order to do this I will parse and use the papagayo phonetic files. http://www.lostmarble.com/papagayo/

papagayo will take a sound file and produce a text with the phonemes  identified 

 

My plan is to put animated images on my megatree.

 

So , If you are interested please look at this short tutorial that shows how to draw a pumpkin in InkScape. http://screencasters.heathenx.org/wp-content/videos/ep038.ogv

watch it even if you dont plan on making a pumpkin. you will see some of the power of inkscape.

 

So I need multiple images with different mouth shapes to match the phonemes. We could also make the pumpkin/tree blink sometimes.

 

 

If someone could make up 3 or 4 shapes i could test the software. I will use the movie engine to flip through the images.

 

thanks
