Compute head movement from speech function in 23.0 after (2024 not fixed either)

Unfortunately yes, I haven't heard of any progress on this bug. I'm really sorry; I know it's frustrating to have something working and become a critical part of your workflow and then break like this. My limited understanding is that the bug is more complex than it may seem on the surface, but I don't know the specifics under the hood.

The workaround I would recommend would be what we show in the recent Express Animation tutorial. Basically, your triggered Replays become your different poses and you swap between them to achieve the pose-to-pose look. If you only wanted the head you could make a set of Face-only replays and then do the other things like arms and lip sync separately. The blend handles between poses would equate to the duration / smoothness of the transition between poses. This system is essentially what we do when creating Express characters with "automatic" animation. I know it's not the same, as pose-to-pose just worked in the background without needing this more manual setup, but it should ultimately achieve a similar effect.

Again, I'm sorry this bug has lingered for over a year without a clear fix. If anything changes I will udpate this thread, but my recommendation for the forseeable future would be to explore different workflows.

An update was installed today and the bug is still there. This massive error has not been fixed for well over a year or two.

Does anyone know how I can still get the old version V22? This feature worked without any problems in V22. I have given up hope that the bug will be fixed, @oksamurai 

still not fixed still not  fixed!

Any updates on this? It's making Character Animator basically unuable for my needs.

Any update?

Thanks for the bug - I noticed this recently too. We're looking into it.

Could you do something to help? @oksamurai 

Got that problem too. Also in version 24.0

Finally, I hopefully this will be fixed in the next version. Thank you.

I moved this post to the Bugs forum. I also just noticed this issue yesterday.
