Learning iClone 3.1 EX – 00008

[BLOGGED] December 16, 2008

~ Lights, Camera, (In)Action ! ~
A First Look at iClone 3.1

~ Tuesday 16 December 2008 ~

This is the first MOVING example I am
posting from my trial period getting to
know the new features of Reallusion‘s
.iClone 3.1 Ex.. I'm playing .with camera
angles, lighting and custom motions. here.
What I only came to realise after having
rendered this clip was the importance of
working with a .PREVIEW. that can play back
your sequence at as close a rate to your
desired frame rate as possible.

.I created this with my graphics settings at
the highest level ("Pixel Shading"). which
meant my Lenovo ThinkPad T61 was
chugging along at 4fps. My final output
choice was 30fps. The start of the material
runs far faster than I had expected – whilst
the reverse is true of the close and the
rather dull section of near inertia.

Learning iClone 3.1 EX – 00009

[BLOGGED] December 18, 2008

I have reached page 210 of the .iClone 3.1 Ex.
.Manual. where the text details the method for
creating re-usable "Animation Helpers".
Theseare pathways that can be saved and
re-used on additional objects.It seems
pretty easy and the example WORKED !

Here’s a screenshot :

Apparently my Lenovo ThinkPad can run
this simple block (with no textures) at a more
than nifty 207.57 frames per second. It isn’t
managing over 10fps with an avatar and
stage set.

I’m glad that this .Trial. has a thirty day
period. There’s quite a lot to discover
and to learn to appreciate.

~ "Props" for iProps ~

Learning iClone 3.1 EX – 00010

[BLOGGED] December 19, 2008

I'm just having a quick look at the [iProps]
provided in the .Demonstration Version .
of .iClone 3.1..

You're given a Robot Woman and her Canine
Companion and can [RIGHT-CLICK] in the
[TIMELINE] to assign to them pre-created
animatons. I think you can trim these to
lessen their duration. I can’t yet see how
you can "Align" the motions in a sequence as
you would do with "normal" humanoid forms.

Glad to find that the nags from the
<Horse & Tack Pack>
I bought for .Version 2.5. appear to work O.K.

Real-Life Versus Reallusion

[BLOGGED] June 25, 2009

After not giving my December-Last-Year
<30 Day Trial Period> enough [ATTENTION ! ]
(the dog was having a cancerous tumor removed
and I ate some REAL food
(.pea.nuts* 'n' chish 'n' fips)
that bunged me into bed with a rabid,
(not a rabbit, it wasn't Easter) and
all-too-debilitatingly
.Christmas. -obliterating case
of .p.itifully .p.utrid .p.ukedom),
I have returned to sniffing
(if not snuffing) out Reallusion's .iClone 3 EX..

For more about peanuts (not "Peanuts*")
- please see the "Goober Peas" diversion
section of my Macromedia Creativity
Software Exploration : [HERE].

~ "Pay Loads"' <Payloads> ~

I was spurred to re-look by the unexpected
release of .Crazy Talk 6., an application
that I have been attached to since
.Version 3.5 . – and that, unlike its less
wieldy big brother, I have an unfaltering,
.permanent soft-spot. for. The upgrade
from .Version 5 . to .6. is about sixty quid,
<< twice what the leap from .4. to .5. was>>,
"thanks", I suppose, at least partially, to
.the vagaries of the exchange rate..
The slump in the value of the pound has
catapulted costs for Brits forced to .pay.
monopolies in .dollars. (not "Monopoly
Money")(and .tax. to Germans).....

.....or to ~ do without ~. Gnaff.

For more (moronic) .money.-[MOAN !]ing
in an animated piggy .poem. peppered with
<special effects> created using Reallusion
Software, give a squizz to :
The $ub-Rhym€ ("Mark" It !)

~ Done with the Demo ~

Peasantly-pauper whinging
(sighed, snide, aside).....
..... what've I done with the .demo. ?

<<Many many>> !

(if not the REST of "the writing on the wall,")

.....and I’m certainly .$old. (apart from the
fact that if .Crazy Talk 6. is out then it is
likely that .iClone 4 . is [DUE SOON !]
(which can't be ~ too soon ~ or "toon soon")
– and MAY introduce a THIRD style of
avatar head – rendering any preparation
with earlier software a COMPLETE
WASTE OF EFFORT).

My .Crazy Talk 5. scripts don’t work
properly with .iClone 2 ./Generation 2
heads. They were a struggle to create
the first time around but I've made the
attempts shown below – and am starting
to feel encouraged by the SUBTLETIES
achievable with this modified model -
although fitting the wig

(Don’t tell me Generation 2 toupees aren't compatible
with Generation 3 heads ; and Generation 4 will be
superceeding everything else a week next Saturday !)

is proving to be such a bastard that
I may have to ~ ditch it ~ and
.only [SHOOT !] my speaker from the front.
(after all, I’m not Tony Martin).
