Hello everyone. I’m currently having a few problems with some avatars that we imported from Character Creator. Sometimes, the lip sync won’t work at all and some other times, instead of moving the lips, the character moves his eyebrows. I’m also (sometimes) getting an error saying that the indexes for the mesh renderer are out of bounds, although all characters are created more or less in the same way. Does anyone know how I can solve this?

Make sure you have assigned the correct object to the Lipsync component.

I followed the instructions in the video. I imported the character, removed the jawroot from the avatar file, added the jawroot and tongue1 to the respective fields in the lipsync script (along with the cc\_base\_body, teeth and tongue) and now it’s doing this

I’ve noticed that if I don’t remove the JawRoot bone from the avatar rig, the mouth stays in place, although it obviously doesn’t move the jaw when it’s talking (although it does move the lips). There is also the issue that it seems that if the model has a moustache, the upper lip doesn’t seem to move

**Reply by raymondedmund | 2024-07-17 17:51:21**

Because of Reallusion’s bone structure organisation, we use the lower jaw bone, otherwise the character talks and “lip syncs” without actually opening the mouth

I am not exactly sure why the mustache issue is happening. My best guess is that the mustache is a separate entity not attached to the upper lip blendshapes. We can check by seeing if the Hierarchy of the model in Unity has the mouth and mustache separately. If that is indeed the case, we can check if mustache has the necessary blendshapes for appropriate lip sync, and then modify the script accordingly

This is because the script updates the Jaw every frame, so even though you are updating the jaw directly, the lip sync script is updating it the next frame and your changes are not showing up
