The physics allow you to define a set of parameters such as elasticity, mass, and others i can't remember off the top of my head - to an object and also let you define how to make it react with another object - some options are kinetic which lets it interact with another object, frozen which keeps it static

you can for example assign attributes to a sphere, increase its elasticity for example or apply one of the presets - i.e. rubber - and once you put a floor (which also can be assigned gravity), the ball drops and bounces like a rubber ball. You can then change the parameters, reduce the elasticity and it bounces like an apple. you can make an object static like a trash can sitting on a floor and when another object like a car hits it - it bounces off the car and onto other objects. I didn't see it but it looks like there is also a velocity setting for objects in motion to increase/decrease collision force

there is also a new set of controls that let's you create instances of this object - just plug in the number of objects you want and it will automatically be created for you - yes big time saver here

will be drilling down more on this today

Thanks Gabe and Guy for taking time out on your trip to tell us folks back home all the facts as you see them really appreciated.

From what I have seen in the iC5 demo vids and what you two are saying I just cant wait to try everything out.

Only downside is there is such a lot more to learn. Joking

Hi ,

very exciting , thanks Gab and Guy .

Can someone find out if the interface windows are detachable? In iClone4 we can detach the timeline - which is great - but I'd also really, really like to be able to detach the preview window.

WOW oh WOW Thanks guys for sharing all this iClone goodness

It's almost like being there 'cept for the sore feet

Keith thy are dockable as well as undockable so great for multi monitors

Fantastic. I have two monitors and end up using just one with iClone4. It'll be much better with undockable windows.

SMALL CORRECTION ABOUT THE MOTION PUPPET FEATURE:

The actual Motion puppet feature with sliders to adjust some of the motion parameters works on Clips provided with iC5, that is, you apply a Motion Puppet Clip to your character, e.g. Toon Walk or Talk and then you can adjust certain parameters to give the motion some specific behavior style.  

Currently, there are a few clips being demonstrated but we are told that the final version will have a lot more.

Also, althoug not demonstrated, I am led to believe that there will eventually be some Motion Pupet for props ?

REFLECTION INTO A MIRROR !!!

Well, you will be very happy to ear that you can now have a real high resolution Reflection on a surface if you apply it a Mirror type material !!!

Did you get a chance to see how many base motions are in their library? I wonder if we can make more with the "Collect Clip" feature in the timeline?

Your coverage rocks! We're so glad you are doing it.
