Nice marketing but totally false. iClone is not for beginners. There are tons of help files and tutorials but how about one very basic lesson that takes you through creating a character, put in some props, move things around, add some motion etc.

Hi Coleman

It's true that there is a learning curve to learning iClone but there are many resources out there besides help files.

I highly recommend Stuckon3d's Free Introduction Courses. It'll get you set up with all the basics you need to know and a bit more. He offers these classes once a month but unfortunately, I think you just missed the one for this month. So you can either wait for the next on Feb 20th or I do believe he offers a video recording of the lesson for $20. At almost 3hrs - it's definitely worth it.

You can also look at these tutorials.

Hope this helps some and welcome to the forum. :)

Heres another good one that seemed to help many people...

I found going to utube type in iclone tutorials and there were many there from beginner ones to advance. Hope this helps:)

I hear what you are saying coleman151, but I cannot really agree with you. We are all beginners at first and the many people posting on this forum testifies that the programme can be relatively easily learnt, just like any other. Having said that, I except that iClone has many hidden depths, of which I'm still exploring after three years of use. The good news is, you do not need to know all of that immediately in order to make a video. Just press your F1 key whilst in iClone and read all of the basic information online. If you need further help, just post on the Forum.

All the best.

:cool: gizmo

I felt the same way for a long time.  My suggestion to you is to attend stuckon3d's free intro class or buy the recording for $20, it'll be the best investment you've made, then you can attend or buy his other classes / recordings.

I've attended all his classes so far and can tell you that they are the answer to every newbie's questions.

I agree 100%, I have after two months finally got a start, due to the kindness of Stuckon (Chris), he was wonderfull.
