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

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 […]

Storyborder . . .
So I’ve been working away in iClone 7 creating 3 rather large scenes, i.e., 3.6 & 1.5 Gb respectively. The problem is the IRay render plug-in I bought to render fabulous scenes is taking too many resources on my tiny 6GB Nvidia graphics card. What is sad is that when you look at the resources […]

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 […]
