About Project
Giving Animators Back Their Time
UNOMi is innovative and easy-to-use software designed specifically for animators. The Avatar Creator Suite solves animation's most time-consuming challenges: mouth synchronization and character motion capture. Traditionally, animating a character speaking for 30 seconds takes a full day of manual work. Hardware motion capture rigs cost tens of thousands of dollars and require studio setups most independent animators and small studios can't afford.
With UNOMi, that same 30 seconds of dialogue is completed in seconds — with hardware-free motion capture and AI lip sync built directly into your existing pipeline. The platform automates 2D and 3D mouth pose synchronization and provides a complete 3D avatar creator, reducing production time and budget by 30% to 70%.

Business Challenges
The Pain Points Slowing Animators Down
The animation industry has long struggled with the manual, expensive burden of lip synchronization and character motion capture. These challenges drove the need for an intelligent, automated solution like UNOMi.
01
Brutal Time Cost — A skilled animator could spend an entire working day (8+ hours) manually animating just 30 seconds of a character speaking, creating serious bottlenecks in production pipelines.
02
Expensive Motion Capture Hardware — Professional motion capture requires specialized suits, cameras, and studio setups costing tens of thousands of dollars — completely inaccessible to indie animators and small studios.
03
No Intelligent Lip-Sync Automation — Existing tools lacked AI-driven mouth pose automation that could accurately understand phonemes and map them to 2D and 3D character rigs simultaneously.
04
Fragmented Toolchain — Animators working across After Effects, Premiere Pro, Unity, and Unreal Engine had no unified avatar creation tool that integrated natively into all these environments from one workflow.
05
Storytelling Barriers — Small studios and independent animators couldn't afford the time or cost of high-quality dialogue-driven content, limiting their ability to tell the stories they envisioned.
UNOMi's mission: ensure that with the level of technology in the world today, no animator should still be struggling to tell their stories because of a manual, solvable problem.

Development Process
How We Engineered
Building UNOMi required deep collaboration between IPH Technologies' engineering team and the UNOMi product team — combining animation domain expertise with cutting-edge AI and computer vision engineering.
01
Discovery & Animation Domain Research
We immersed ourselves in the animator's workflow — studying lip-sync pipelines, phoneme systems, 2D/3D character rigging, motion capture limitations, and the specific pain points that cost studios the most time and budget.
02
AI Model Design & Computer Vision Architecture
Designed the core AI engine for phoneme mapping and the computer vision pipeline for hardware-free motion capture — establishing accuracy benchmarks before a single line of production code was written.
03
UX Design & Prototype Review
Designed the complete animator UI: timeline interface, waveform visualization, pose preview panels, and multi-character mode. Validated with clickable prototypes reviewed by practicing animators before development began.
04
Core Engine & Plugin Development
Built the audio processing pipeline, phoneme detection model, webcam-based motion capture engine, and native plugins for After Effects, Premiere Pro, Unity, and Unreal Engine — optimized for low latency.
05
Integration & QA Testing
Tested across diverse voice recordings, character rigs, and animation formats. Iterated on the AI model based on animator feedback — prioritizing accuracy, reliability, and performance under production conditions.
06
Launch, CMS Build & Ongoing Support
Deployed the desktop application alongside a WordPress-powered product site. Provided animator onboarding, documentation, and continued development partnership post-launch as a long-term team extension.

Frequently Asked Questions
Depending on project requirements, IPH Technologies uses custom neural networks for real-time lip sync and motion prediction, WebGL-integrated APIs for high-fidelity rendering, Node.js for low-latency processing, and native SDKs for macOS and Windows. Every stack decision is made to optimize for performance inside real creative pipelines.
IPH Technologies builds avatar software as native plugins for industry-standard editors including Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, and Apple Motion. This keeps animators inside a single workflow — no application switching, no file exports mid-project — which is how production cycles shrink by 60–70%.
Every project follows a structured six-stage process: discovery and consultation, requirements gathering and scope definition, strategic roadmap creation, design and prototyping, agile sprint development with parallel QA, and post-launch support. A working demo is delivered at the end of every two-week sprint, and no sprint closes without client sign-off.
IPH Technologies builds avatar software that exports fully rigged character models in formats like FBX, making them ready for use in Unity, Unreal Engine, web AR, and social media platforms. The export pipeline is designed to drop cleanly into any downstream production or deployment environment without manual rework.
Fully transparent. Clients receive daily updates during active development, weekly progress reports as standard, shared roadmaps, and fortnightly sprint demos. Every communication is jargon-free and tells you exactly what is done, what is in progress, and what comes next — no black boxes, no surprises.
