simpler way that duolingo does it

If you're creating lip-sync animations without an audio file, you can rely on common viseme patterns that often appear in typical speech. Visemes are visual representations of phonemes (speech sounds). Here are some that repeat consecutively and form the foundation of natural-looking lip movements:

1. Open/Closed Patterns:
- "Ah" → "Ee" → "Oh" → "Ah"
- Mimic mouth opening and closing cycles. These general shapes fit vowels, which are common in speech.

2. Closed-Lip Sounds:
- "M" → "P" → "B"
- These involve fully closed lips and can be interspersed randomly to simulate pauses or labial consonants.

3. Slightly Open Shapes:
- "F" → "V" → "Th"
- These involve teeth meeting the lips or tongue against teeth, adding variety to lip positions.

4. Wide and Narrow Shapes:
- "Ee" → "Oo" → "Ah" → "Ee"
- These cover exaggerated vowel shifts often seen in enthusiastic or expressive speech.

5. Fast Repeats for Staccato Sounds:
- "T" → "D" → "N"
- Used for rapid, bouncy movements, mimicking consonant-heavy sections.

6. Rest or Neutral:
- Incorporate a neutral or barely open position between more dynamic movements to simulate natural pauses.

Example Loop:
1. Start with "M" (closed) → transition to "Ah" (open).
2. Move to "Ee" (wide) → blend into "F" (slightly open).
3. Return to "Oo" (round) → rest in neutral for a beat.

Randomize and blend these visemes smoothly to keep the movement dynamic and natural

had to explain what is the difference between the three (rasterization, ray tracing and path tracing)
