Question about iclone 2

really? — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 06:06:29 GMT

Hello friends,

i am new and from Germany, but i will try to make you understand what i want from you :D

I was searching for a software to make 3D People. In another Forum, someone had given me a link to a demo from iclone 3. I think that is nice, the functions of this programm.

Its that real that i can make 3D People how in the Programm Poser?

Okay, the problem is this, that i am a worker and learner in 2D, 3D is just a Hobby. It is not payable for me to buy iClone 3 for much money, so i find i clone 2.5 on ebax for much fewer money.

I want to ask, if this Programm

http://cgi.ebay.de/iClone-2-5-STANDARD-VOLLVERSION-inkl-3D-XChange-2-OVP_W0QQitemZ370279770369QQcmdZViewItemQQptZSoftware?hash=item563664e901

is circa the same of iclone 3, only a older version, or is this a completely other Programm?

Can i use the Prog from the link (iclone 2.5) to make 3 D People?

I had wanted to phone Reallusion, but there is no phone number in Germany :(

I hope you can help me fast!

Pixel Shader

amelmaube — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 11:19:25 GMT

Hello.
I am the whole time trying to see how I can get Pixel Shader. But the look is not. You click on pixel or vertex shader but nothing! I would like a little help. I'm new so please I want a quick answer. Because every time I select a new Avatar. Then there is some whitish avatar that has no face, no feet and no chest. And everything is white. So no color.
I hope I gave enough information.
And I get help as soon as possible.
Thank you!

Reallusion News Logo

mathahn — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 12:21:45 GMT

Can the Reallusion News Logo on the Newsroom set be replaced in iClone w/another logo, e.g. Fox News? I know it can be done in post, but I want to know if it's possible within iClone. Thanks.

(Theory-Practical) The Perfect Mirror. (V.2)

Armstrong — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 22:54:07 GMT

Some of you may remember the clumsy mirror technique used in an early scene of a project here. Using a hole in the 'mirror' as opposed to an actual plane. Looking through a hole in the set wall at a duplicate character and duplicate room with duplicate everything.
Looked OK, but sucked your life away in hours of prep.

[img]http://www.iclonetutorials.co.uk/ti/mirror/thi-Mai_mirror1.jpg[/img]
(Thi Mai v.E.)

This time I sat and worked on making a near accurate version using layers. It uses a rather dirty motion file for the sake of extreme gesture .... for the sake of the example but it clearly demonstrates the ease of use and in the final movie this effect appears in puddles, lakes, rain strewn windows and, yes, even distorted chrome bars across a window.
For those you simple add the layers and squash them forcing nuetral grey as their C-key which gives, at about 98% transparency, about a 30% transparency element to all spectral values. The effect is a near tubular reflection with the bars metallic reflection jointly showing through.
However...

(4 Layers inc. Primary.)

[img]http://www.iclonetutorials.co.uk/photos/iceoutstill2.jpg[/img]
(6 Layers & invisible base Primary layer. (Thi Mai v.15a))

On the snowscene there's no real animated primary baselayer.
Just a graphic with a timescale the entire length of the walk and other events.
The 1st layer is the upper walker anim.
The 2nd layer is the reflected walker anim.
The 3rd layer are the grasses (a still) at the base of the tree to break the uniformity of the horizontal cut from the lower reflection.
The 4th layer is a long horizontal dithered breaker (a still) that diffuses the line between the upper and lower main animations across the whole movie width.
The 6th layer is an additional snow sheet. Anim. (A bit large but for the purpose of the demo works ok!)

Using the bvh file converter

swilbert2002 — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 14:32:14 GMT

I downloaded free bvh files from Animazoo.com. When I used to bvh converter to convert the file an import it into iClone, the character's body is distorted, when I apply the motion. Why does this happen? Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong or not doing. Thanks. I tried applying the motion to different character and it happened on every character. Thanks in advance for you help. sheneka :hehe::)

How do I use "Pixel Shader"?

Magmo26 — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 11:44:29 GMT

I've found a tap at the top right of the screen that says "Preference" when I move my cursor over it. When I click on it, there is a "Real-time Render Options" list. Under the list, there are Quick Shader, Vertex Shader, and Pixel Shader. I want the Pixel Shader, but it is grey, and won't let me select it. The only Shader that I can get is Quick Shader. Can someone tell me how I can get Pixel Shader? I'll be very thankful if you can help me.

Walking on a raised surface?

hieronymouscrowley — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 03:13:29 GMT

ok, last st00pid n00b question for a while... probably...

when i have characters walking on raised surfaces such as pavements etc, they "sink" part way through the animation

at the start of the walk cycle i set Avatar/Transform/Move Z to, say, 8. i also set it to 8 at the end of the walk cycle (and nothing in between). however, after a few frames the system has decided to set it back down to 0

the only solution i've found so far is to manually set the first few frames to 8 - after that it seems quite happy to keep it at 8 for the rest of the cycle

anyone else have the same problem? any better solutions than the one i've come up with?

Inserting stuff at the start of a project?

hieronymouscrowley — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 01:59:07 GMT

another st00pid n00b question i'm afraid

i've set up my scene and got everything working. so i decided to add some rain effects for atmosphere. added those ok, but...

...it takes a few frames for the emitter to "power up", so the start sequence (which i've already orchestrated) is in the dry for a few seconds, and then the rain appears

not terrible, but i'd like to add a few dummy frames at the start of the clip which i'll then be able to edit out later. i can foresee possibly needing to insert stuff at the start of a project in the future anyway - but i can't find any "insert" mechanism

anyone know how i could do that?

Two Character Motions

Lionheart — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 01:50:58 GMT

HI alkl., I am trying to align two characters to hug, and it is blowing my mind! Is tehre any way to see two of the mannequins together in the motion editor, so I can see how the motions interact without having to go backwards and forwards exporting etc. I keep having arms passing through heads and all sorts!Thanks.

How to start a new Project where the previous one left off?

hieronymouscrowley — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 13:08:30 GMT

not sure if this question should be posted here or not? please move it if it's in the wrong place. anyway:

i like to work in small self-contained little chunks of work, so - i create a scene and output mebbe 2000 or so frames

once i'm happy with that chunk, then the next time i come to work on the scene i'd obviously like it to start where the old scene ended

conceptually it's quite simple, i'd like to CUT everything in the final rendered frame, clear all the animations etc in the scene, and then PASTE everything from that final frame into the first frame of the new project, and get going again

unfortunately, i can't find a practical way of doing that as yet, although i'm sure there must be a way of doing it

any advice gladly welcomed. thanks

Iclone and Zbrush

abuck86 — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 12:53:11 GMT

Hello,I am considering purchasing Zbrush for use in conjuntion with Iclone 3, I was wondering what limitations,if any, are there in regards to texturing the Iclone 3 actor templates,this would help greatly in my decision to purchase Zbrush since it is a fairly expensive program.Previous posts stated users would be able to add wrinkles and muscle tone,I know the possibilities within Zbrush are pretty much endless-can they be applied to Iclone 3 actors?.Also I have recently purchased a program called Facegen and was wondering if this could be used in conjuntion with Iclone 3 actor templates (textures specifically)-Thank you-You guys at Reallusion are AWESOME!

CAmeras!

Lionheart — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 12:33:41 GMT

I don't believe this is so difficutl, so please can somebody explain where I am going wrong.I have been using the edit key on animated camera to cut angles, but my current piece just needs a simple circle around the character from the back to show the face. How can it be done? I took three shots, the rear, the front and midway by aligning the camera to his side. Side to front works fine, but for some reason, back to side goes off and films a tree somewhere on the other side of the scene for a few shots and comes back. I tried to split this into further small steps, but the camera bobbles about as though two people are fighting with it, one of them trying to film the tree. I guess that is, in effect what is happening.To see how it was done, I tried to look at the circle standard motion, but that overwrote the whole thing, but that's OK as I still had the saved backup. And then like a fool I saved the circle motion over the top of my backup. That's 2600 frames (and 2 days) of camera alignments I won't see again soon, so I am not at all happy with myself.I know this isn't very clear, but can't think of a better way to describe it. I have also put this query on a couple of other forums, so sorry if you see it twice!Any advice would be appreciated (and an Undo button - Is there one in Iclone 3?) ThanksRichard.

Ghost Legs Tutorial

Lionheart — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 22:20:51 GMT

I am tryuing to use the opacity update as advised, but the legs are still lovely and pink and shining through the dress every time the character walsk across the room.I've obviously misunderstood the guide somewhere, because I have made her arms disappear - once - and I don't know how!Thanks.

Motion Editor

Lionheart — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 04:28:42 GMT

Hi - When I have set up a motion in the editor and exported it into I-Clone, is there any way to pull it back in and add it to a second character as part of a second motion?When I try to load it in under the "Add Motion" option, I get a "Motion has no frames!" error message.Any advice would be appreciated.Thanks.

Custom Hair using 3ds max

swilbert2002 — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 11:53:17 GMT

I need to create custom hairstyles, but I don't have the patience or time to learn 3ds Max. What do you think about me hiring a freelancer, who is an expert in 3d modeling, with superior skills in 3ds max? I was thinking, I could hire him/her to create the custom hairstyles, he/she can forward the files to me, then I could use the 3dsMax-plug in to import it into iClone. Would this work? Will I need to have 3ds Max installed on my computer to do this or would the 3ds Max plug in be enough for me to import the custom hairstyles into iClone?Your feedback is greatly appreciated. :D Thanks. sw

Dialog in IClone

ian_20090922174242520 — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 08:42:40 GMT

Having trouble figuring out how to add dialogue in IClone. I can see that it is possible to record and add a wav file at the begining of the timeline for a project. But what if I wanted to start the diague say 10 seconds into the animation? Is there a way that I can do that?Also I tried to start Crazy Talk and the program says that I need to purchase Crazy Talk 4.2. I have already purchased Crazy Talk 5 but it does not seem to notice? Any ideas?CheersIan

Motion editor and Prop

Gorz — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 13:04:32 GMT

Hi!I am dabbling with iClone 2.5 quite a lot and I found one thing with motion editor that could make productivity explode... The possibility to import a PROP even another character could be a still PROP in motion editor.. But to have a PROP for reference would be GOLD to have..Any other that could find this to be a good thing? Is there a way to add any 3D figure for animation reference?Best regards G

Making of Gazella dorcas liveprop using DAZ Studio, 3dsmax and iClone

[url=http://iclone-fr.blogspot.com/2008/11/la-cration-dun-personnage-non-humain.html]CLICK HERE IN ORDRE TO READ THE UPDATED TUTORIAL FOR ICLONE 3 WITH ALL MISSING IMAGES[/url]
[b]Tools Needed

* DAZ|Studio
* FBX-Plugin for DAZ|Studio
* Photoshop (or other graphics program)
* Autdodesk 3dsMax
* Reallusion iClone
* iClone VNS Exporter for 3dsMax[/b]

1) First, you need 3D models store on DAZ website. To accomplish this four legged liveprop, I used these two products together: [url=http://www.daz3d.com/i.x/shop/itemdetails/-/?item=334&spmeta=ab&_m=d]DAZ Buck[/url] and [url=http://www.daz3d.com/i.x/shop/itemdetails/-/?item=305&_m=d]Antelope Pack expansion[/url]

[img]http://www.hebergementimages.com/images/1214762370_002.jpg[/img][/center]

2)Now load/build a scene with your model in DAZ|Studio. Don’t forget to apply animated poses to your figure. Fore more information about this, visit[url=http://www.daz3d.com/i.x/tutorial/0/-/?&_m=d] DAZ tutorials section[/url]

[center][img]http://www.hebergementimages.com/images/1214763007_003.jpg[/img][/center]

3)At this step, you need [url=http://www.daz3d.com/i.x/shop/itemdetails/-/?item=4137&_m=d]FBX-Plugin for DAZ|Studio[/url]

FBX has quickly become the leading 3D File Interchange Format. It provides a powerful new way of working with 3D content from a wide variety of applications and source material providers. Exporting in the FBX format provides you access to an industry-wide 3D format, and allows you to use your DAZ content in products such as Maya or 3D Studio Max.[/i]

Then click File -- Export and choose FBX 6.0 as export format. Choose a directory and file name for export and click save. In the following menu with the FBX-Export-Options choose the following options:

[center][img]http://www.daz3d.com/sections/tutorial/images/2134/1-2.jpg[/img]

[/center]

Click Accept and save your FBX-File.

4) Import your FBX-File in 3dsMax

Start 3dsMax, Click File - Import and import your exported FBX-File.

In 3dsMax you will find all imported textures in the Material editor. You can edit them in Photoshop or any image editor. Your models is correctly rigged with all bones and ready for motion

[center][url=http://www.hebergementimages.com][img]http://www.hebergementimages.com/images/1214763070_004.jpg[/img][/url]

[/center]

5) Choose File>Export... to export your liveprop for iClone.

In the File Type option, choose iCloneExp (*.VNS) file format and assign the designate folder. Choose "prop" object Type, assign to prop animation clip then click "OK"

Linking Access using 3dxchange

setroc2 — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 21:04:15 GMT

Ive notice that its much more difficult to link accessories that you download from Google warehouse using 3dxchange. For instace when adding a sword to my scene I have to edit almost every keyframe to alig the sword correctly to a body part. Is there an easier way to do this?

Lighting the sky

tonym — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 08:17:14 GMT

iClone seems to give me a lot of control of lighting in the scenes, except I don't seem to ba able to control the lighting level of the sky. So in a 3D scene which has a sky dome over it, how do I control the lighting of the dome texture? e.g. I want to make a night scene, it seems I can darken everything except the sky.

Sliding feet

tonym — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 08:13:18 GMT

Despite checking the "foot sliding removal" option, my characters still seem to walk with sliding feet. Now obviously if the character is animated but not moving across the scene, the feet will slide. This suggests that there needs to be some correlation between the speed at which the character's walking motion is aminated and the speed at which the character moves across the scence. Has anyone got any tips on how to match these so the look is natural?

Hair Models

swilbert2002 — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 13:13:40 GMT

Can I use the hair models from this website:http://www.daz3d.com/i.x/marketplace/0/-/?&_m=d&trid=267458128to import into iClone to create more hair options? Will I need to use 3Dxchange in order to make it work? Thanks. swilbert

How to change the special G2 charcter texture

davidjosue007 — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 13:28:45 GMT

[b]City Elements - Citizen Extras[/b]

[img]http://www.reallusion.com/ContentStore/iClone/pack/CitizenExtras/image/Bimage.jpg[/img]

Question: Is there a way to modify the texture of these G2 special Character.
I love these characters, but for their skin color, it is difficult to exploit them as extras in an African town.
I already know that these characters are designed in one piece, so there aren't able to exchange body parts, (including the head) with other G2 characters.

camera animation

neillchapman2003 — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 22:21:26 GMT

I am trying to animate a camera down a 'SketchUp' hallway.

I can launch the animated camera, timeline and edit and can do key frames and move forward etc so all is good up to a point but then the whole thing collapses around me as I try to navigate around a corner of the hallway.

It seems (by the way I'm new to iClone) that the camera is a WYSIWYG set-up and that's fine so you always know what the camera is seeing but I don't actually ever know the camera's so when I try to turn a corner I have to estimate where the camera is and I bang into a wall or end up going through the wall. I have tried rotating the model at 90deg and leaving the camera alone but that doesn't seem to solve the problem. I also tried turning in small increments with equal lack of success.

I'm sure there's an easy answer as the stuff I've seen by iClone is magnificent. At the moment I give myself a -10 but I am hoping to get a whole lot better.

SFX and Skies

Lionheart — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 09:05:50 GMT

Hi all - this is another couple of "how do I..."

First off sky colours. I have the Wilderness Packs, btu would liek some of my action to take place at night. further to some of my previous questions, I have now got a firey glow and twi-light shadowing inthe main part of my scene. (Thanks for all answers that helped with this) but unfortunately, there is still a lovely mid-morning blue summer sky in the background! Any way that the sky can be darkened? The only solution I can thnk of is to be clever with a 2D pic placed on the billoard, and positionsed between the liveplants and the skyin shot. Haven't had the time to try this out yet, but before I do, wondered if anybody had an easier or more practical solution.

Secondly - and hopefully this is more simple. Is there any way to for SFX to start in full flow? For example, the snow FX starts falling, but if I want my scene to take place where it is already snowing, because this causes an editing gaff (as was seen in the "All I Want For Christmas" which I put up in December.) I am currently using the HellFire although sized down to give a smaller campfire type of flame, but again, I want theis to be a fire already burning, not one that builds up from nothing over the first few frames.

All responses will be greatly received. Thanks in advance.

Rich.

Liveplants scene texture editing....

davidjosue007 — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 04:32:18 GMT

Question: Is there any way to edit texture in liveplants. I want to change for example savannah green
[img]http://www.reallusion.com/ContentStore/iClone/pack/world_wilderness2/image%5CSavannaGreen.jpg[/img]
in a safari savannah
[img]http://i.d.com.com/i/dl/media/dlimage/13/91/56/139156_large.jpeg[/img]

I mean a savannah in a dry season... I used 3dxchange 2 in order to convert the liveplants scene to a props...but liveplants are not kept in the prop.
Indeed even, when I converted the liveplants scene into another one via 3dxchange, the new one does not support liveplants...
Someone would have an idea on this topic ?

Thanks!

My horse won't walk

klobi — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 09:58:55 GMT

Hello everybody, I bought the horse pack and I have tried a lot to get my horse to walking. I downloaded the tutorial but I don't understand everything. Step 1 and 2 = no problem. Step 3 is my challange. See the bold words. My English left...

[quote]Now that the horse has animation applied to it, you need to move the horse forward in the scene to create actual movement of the prop. Move to the end of the project and then select the horse and move it forward across the scene. Time your key frames to coincide with the clip animation. To make sure your animation clip carries out over the entire duration of the project, scroll over the right side of the blue GALLOP animation clip until you see the ARROWS icon, click and drag to lengthen then animation. Click PLAY to review.[/quote]

What does it mean: scroll over the right sight... until you see the arrows? I tried like the picture says but there are no arrows / no icon. What do I wrong or what do I need to do?

Thanks for your help,

René

motion editor

domindian — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 11:21:59 GMT

hello forum. allthough I am tinkering with iClone for a while now I still may not know very much about it. for example - I read from someone that he set up a motion in the motion editor. he talked about editing like taking one of the standard motions and then movng one hand into the air for a wave-like motion.... but, how could he have done that? for me the iClone motion editor appears as nothing more than a motion mixer. take one, cut ist to some length, take another and place it after the other, choose transition time and live with that, or don't. features like aligning (where I still have not figured out if there is a visual difference between align and 'align whole motion') are the special treat.

now, is it actually a motion mixer or is there really the posibility in iClone to take the puppet's limbs like a hand, a foot and move it to some place on some frame?!

another question is this one: is there a way someone knows of, to freeze some bodyparts where aligning to that limb is not enough? it still moves to much. for example the feet. the person stand still, but with prebuilt motions there is always motion of the feet and mixing between motions makes the person slide on the ground like on a frozen lake in Winter. wichever foot I align the other slides and the first doesn't stand still either.

I would appreciate any kind of hint, or help!
and thanks for reading.

Prop Conversion

Lionheart — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 14:16:15 GMT

Hi All.

On my travels around the various I-Clone sites and blogs, I have come across people who have converted poser props etc. for use in I-Clone.

Please can you tell me how this is done? I know 3d Exchange can't do it, so do I need a different program as well? Or is there a simple way?

Thanks.

Lighting

gary_20090922173217106 — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 03:57:52 GMT

I am having trouble with my lighting.

I wish to start my video in near blackout and turning to full brightness as if somebody has turned the lights on.

It is a hip hop video, with an introduction at the begining (hence the blackness)

I have tried to edit the keys as I do for my camera but when I edit a key they all change?

I always click the edit key before changing the lighting keys but they always all change.

Please help.

While I am at it, my lip sync seems to have a mind of it's own, the sync is all out of time and nothing like the vocal.

Any help would be gratefully accepted.

Thank You
