SmartBody [3] allows for complex behavior realization, synchronizing speech recordings with non-verbal behaviors by using the Behavior Markup Language (BML) [4]. However, there remain two problems for using BML and smartbody to achieve the vision that an artist has for animating the character: the authoring problem and multi-party behavior syncronization. The BML Sequencer addresses both. }, url = {http://www.springerlink.com/content/e33881477645770r/}, author = {Priti Aggarwal and David R. Traum} }
