• Fixed “Mining the Story” Store link . . .

  The pain of trying to sell online with no money is quite a pain, but doable! I had just finished creating my store only to see Squareup/Weebly do an upgrade which moved my web site to another location. On top of that, my electronic download products of a Cartoon Animator 4 character got zapped and […]

• iClone Head Shot . . .

   So I broke down and bought the Head Shot plugin for iClone 7 as it is on sale for half price. Of course, I should have realized there will be “additional” costs for the capability to customize the skin’s appearance, but I did not think they would throw in the basic skin setup so you […]

• 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 […]

• A CTA 4 2Mb video w lip sync . . . What?

  Here’s a much smaller sample from iClone 7 to CTA 4 video. iClone Project size is 153Mb while CTA 4 Project size is 2.85Mb. CTA 4 MP4 was run through ShotCut generating a tiny 2Mb MP4 with lip sync. That’s astounding! The voice over track was not edited prior to being used in this demonstration. […]

• Finally imported into CTA 4 . . .

  As I mentioned in previous post, I was processing images rendered at 720×480 as my PC would crash if I up the size. I’ll have to fiddle with those rendering settings to see if I can reduce the size of the image a bit more. Here is the human I was waiting on and it […]

• iClone 7 to CTA 4 . . .

  My efforts to reduce the size of my output to a minimal so I can watch on my cell phone is starting to have fruition although it’s not been easy. Stupid me did the Nvidia update and boy what a mess that has caused me. For a week I put up with the constant crashing […]

• A Scary Night in Walla Walla . . .

  I uploaded for the Reallusion CTA 4 “Animation At Work Contest”. I had problems customizing the Reaper’s mouth in Krita. Once I added a voice over mp3 the bottom jaw would disappear for no reason. So I replace the original without any problems which is in this video. I also tried using Face3D, but the […]

• Incredibly easy Lip Sync in CTA 4!

  I was just messing about with CTA 4 to create a morph-based character from an image. The pins on the first attempt did not control the movement as much as I want it to and, in fact, made it look stupid, frankly. Three Bones were created for the image: chest, neck and head, but they […]

• BONING a KRITA character in CARTOON ANIMATOR 4 . . .

  I am in the process of learning how to bone a 2D image into a character in Cartoon Animator 4. I’ve call him “BUNION the ONION” character I sketched out in KRITA. I did not spend a lot of time creating him as I just needed something to play with. Version 1 of this character […]

• CC3 to Blender . . . to Cartoon Animator 4

  I tried importing a few Character Creator 3 FBX characters into Blender 2.8. First, the hair from Zane stood out and you could instantly tell there was a problem. The next character is the default model in CC3 that decided to leave it’s eyeballs behind as it walked from the same BVH as I used […]
