We describe an implemented system which automatically generates and animates conversations between multiple human-like agents with appropriate and synchronized speech, intonation,
facial expressions, and hand gestures. Conversations are created by a dialogue planner that produces the text as well as the
intonation of the utterances. The speaker/listener relationship, the text, and the intonation in turn drive facial expressions,
lip motions, eye gaze, head motion, and arm gesture generators.
