iClone Previews . . .
I’ve posted 4 PREVIEWS on Vimeo that show the progress made in creating “The Bell Dimension”. Of course, creating these “mini” movies started several years ago as I was learning how to use iClone 2 and let me tell you I do not know how many times I crashed my PC and the only saving […]

2D challenge . . . with 3D
I decided to dabble in using live-action video, i.e, me, in combination with iClone 7 and PopVideo. I had bought a green screen kit from B&H long ago and I tried it on a studio shoot, but the lighting was too dim to get a clean chroma key. I tried this in Resolve and it […]

Site renewed as videos moving to Vimeo . . .
Here’s an IRay pic rendered at 100/180 as I work at reducing the scene load to speed up renders. This scene is a paltry 97Mb and consists of 2 planes, i.e., sky and temple with 5 royal tents that are 3D with physics applied. It also includes the desert sand floor. 2103 . . . […]

PREVIEW is ready!
I finally produced a decent PREVIEW that will be submitted to the animation festivals once a few quirks are worked out. Theses are mostly motion issues with the characters as they are either “canned” or BVH motion files with some manual edits included. Some not so pretty. :o) iClone is a quirky program to say […]

Storyboard Animatic is here . . .
One scene has been posted on the Storyboard page. One of the videos done in “minimal” mode at 1 frame-per-second. The other is the standard PREVIEW render in iClone 7.

ANIMATIC is done . . .
Finally succeeded in generating a good ANIMATIC. Of course it needs fixes, but it is pretty much there. This expands on the first festival submission and it is approximately 12 mins or so. This is under review and will be posted soon if there are no major issues with the edit. 1202 . . . […]

Storyboard animatic almost ready . . .
My storyboard animatic is almost ready. I started adding “duplicate” characters within the same scene in order to speed up animation. This allows you to concentrate on just that one motion for that particular character in the scene. By using the “hide” or “unhide” feature, you can simply turn off characters you don’t need. For […]

Snippet of Storyboard . . .
Here’s a pic of the storyboard I’m working on. Although a iC7 rendered image, it took forever and that wasn’t using IRay. A conundrum if there ever was. At a recent breakfast, my editor said my story needed more clarification. Of course, did I explain it like it was a pitch? No, not really as […]

2D from 3D . . .
As I work on my movie, I am liking CTA 4 more and more. Why? One of the advantages of doing 2D animation is that you are no longer concerned with the 3D as much and can concentrate on what needs to be rendered as you compose the scene in CTA 4. After watching a […]

Storyboard updated . . .
I updated the Storyboard page with a simplified scene of just the train that went from 3 separate mp4 to one: 3011 . . . ds
