Case Study: Avalanche Software achieves high-quality localized facial animation in Hogwarts Legacy with SGX

Avalanche Software automates 50,000 lines of dialogue per language with SGX

The customer, Avalanche Software, faced the challenge of animating hundreds of thousands of lines of dialogue across eight languages for their game Hogwarts Legacy. To create believable emotional expressions and accurate lip-sync without an overwhelming manual effort, they turned to vendor Speech Graphics and their SGX audio-driven facial animation technology.

Speech Graphics implemented their SGX solution to automate muscle-based facial animation, which was integrated into Avalanche's procedural pipeline. This allowed the studio to efficiently process over 50,000 lines per language while maintaining high animation fidelity. The solution saved significant time and resources, enabling the team to focus on fine-tuning and maximizing player engagement, setting a new standard for procedural facial animation in the industry.
