Automatic mouth movement for my VR game! #1

Dear Steemians

Welcome to my new post about my AUTOMATIC mouth movement creation for my VR game! I'm going to explain how and why I did it. But first take a look at it :D

First of all, I know that it's not perfect but it looks really funny :D

Why did I do that?

I coded this for my new VR game, where a lot of conversations take place. It would have been a lot of work if I had to create for all the audio files a specific animation. So I thought, I would write some code to automate it. This is currently the result of it!

But how did I do that?

I'm developing my upcoming, big VR game in the game engine Unity for the VR headset HTC Vive. I wrote the code for the movement in C# an object-oriented programming language.

Now what did I exactly do?

You probably already saw an audio visualization like this:
I used the same technique. My code creates an audio spectrum from an audio file. This spectrum is saved in an array. An array is a group of related data values (called elements) that are grouped together. In my case the elements are just numbers of the height positions (y value in a coordinate system) of the audio spectrum. Then these numbers are used to scale the mouth up or down and because it's from the audio file, it looks like a mouth movement!

Overall, it wasn't even that much code! Here is a screenshot of it:

I can adjust the scale of the mouth and if it's to high, funny things like this happen:

Even more extreme:

Imagine a raging person :D

This is just the prototype and I am surely going to improve it! What do you think? Do you like it and want some updates on it? Any suggestions? I'll answer your questions in the comments :D
