Audio and Character Image Syncing?

#1 Post by marigoldsofthenight » Sat Mar 07, 2015 11:03 am

So, I have a fully voiced character in my novel that happens to be a robot. His character design includes a large, glowing green 'eye' on the front of his face. Is there a way to sync the 'glow' of the eye to correspond with each line's audio file dynamically, so that the glow will change intensity with each corresponding inflection in the dialogue as it is spoken?

Originally I wanted a corresponding waveform (audio bars) to appear on his face for each line, but I figured that was too far beyond Renpy's capabilities.

Sorry, but there isn't feedback like that from the audio system.
