JALI offers production teams a powerful, flexible, and easy to use suite of tools to direct unforgettable digital performances with best-in-class automated lip sync, expressive multilingual facial animation, and high-performance rigging and pipeline solutions.

Generate language-specific expressive lip synchronization from audio and text (or TTS inputs), fully customizable speech styles and dynamic facial performances, and easy-to-edit animation curves.

Animate and direct full character performance with eye motion (blink, gaze, saccades), brows, custom expression settings, speech settings, character profiling, emotion tagging, asymmetry, and head and neck motion.

All of JALI’s workflow can be fully-automated through scripting. The software features a user-friendly interface for handling batch animation, rig connections, and exporting.

Hero characters and NPCs, digital assistants, VR training, and interactive chatbots all need believable and compelling facial animation and lip sync. With JALI, you can direct the right performance for a given context: in production or in real-time when using text-to-speech.

We are animators at heart. JALI’s procedural animation system employs intelligent automation and is designed with a deep understanding of the principles of rigging and animation craft. This allows JALI to integrate seamlessly into industry-standard pipelines and produce output that mirrors, and can be edited, as if your own animator had authored it themselves.

“The overall quality of facial performance is one thing, but another thing is nailing down the correct, colloquial, or language-specific way of speaking that every native is expecting from the character they talk to. I think having characters that resonate and cross those international boundaries in this pretty personal way can be very powerful.”

JALI isn’t a black box that returns automatically generated animation. Often, JALI is the first step in creating cinematic-level animations. JALI produces sparse, one dimensional animation curves that can easily be edited, iterated, or blended with keyframe or motion capture animation directly in Maya. The art of digital character animation is constantly evolving, and our tools are flexible enough to redefine the future of animation — whatever form it takes next.
