General Question of Educational use

co1e — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 22:15:45 GMT

Forgive me if I ask dumb questions that may seem obvious to everyone.I'm looking to attempt to use some form of 3d annimation for special needs kids. I downloaded the trail version Iclone 3. It may be more than I really need. I'm just looking to give these kids some visual representation of how to correctly do things. Simple things like use a fork for your food, wash your hands after bathroom. I think the teachers call this stuff video modeling, using videos of real kids showing the correct way of doing something. It helps some of the special kids learn. Well it's not easy finding real videos of sit on the potty.Am I looking at the right software with the clone 3?Am I going to have to break the wallet out every time I need a prop such as fork, plate, glass, bathroom sink?If I do purchase the clone 3 are more props included when you upgade to full user or am I limited to just what I've seen so far? Only spent a couple hours with it but the trail seems to be lacking props.How helpful is the forum with new users? Guess I'll find that out soon enough. LOL Thanks in advance for any help.Mark

[Archive] Costs and multiple License fees

ForumArchive — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 00:30:31 GMT

An education arena is displaying interest and asking about the method of using iClone Studio as a means to create Presentational content for classes of a volume of about 30.

As well as this there is discussion about using the software for courses for older students in a college environment. Courses may be of about 15 20 at a time per course initially.

Additionally, across the planet my associate, who is effectively a government official for the Barangays of the Philippines and based in Vigan City working heavily in the education field as a master of sociology, also wishes information on multiple licenses for section b) below but for her city/country.

Questions.
If I'm to return to them and discuss pricing (Contract potential based in England) what would the rate be for
a) A School to use iClone Studio as a single user tool for output display to classes of size 40max
and also
b) What license fees would be required for a class of max 20 (example) be for a course of duration 90 days?
and
c) If I'm to install this how would I go about installing 20 devices with iClone Studio: regarding user licenses to initialise operation/codes re: device i.d. etc?
I'm assuming their XP network runs off a single pipe. Not sure if this will infringe your registration processes with I.P. logging per license???

I'm on an a.s.a.p. reply ticket here! The competition is a flash 2d alternative claiming ease of use over entertainment values.

iclone classroom

tkubal2 — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 21:08:56 GMT

Has anyone produced an education set for iclone? I think i could build it, but i'm wondering if its already been done. i'm wondering what are the limits for voice/action tracks? i'm using the expensive version of iclone 3, and a decent computer/card setup(HD4600,2.5ghz,3gb ram). Also, can I inset powerpoint lectures, microsoft word outlines, or animated gifs into my animation scenes?any help would be greatly appreciated.

Crazy Talk 5

driscgai — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 20:36:28 GMT

I recently purchased a 5 license pack of Crazytalk 5 to try out at my school. While trying to learn this program, I was consistently connected to with what should have been very helpful tutorial videos. However, each tutorial I was brought to said "open Crazytalk5" and then .... My software did not have many of the buttons or features I was being led to. After many wasted hours and time spent online, I realize that I was being taken to tutorials for Crazytalk 5 Pro--althought not stated as such. I would like to be able to access help for my version: Crazytalk5 EDU only. Even the enclosed brochure that came with the program shows me a voice, lips face/facestrength etc. track screen. All I get are Voice and Motion clip tracks--and the motion clip track is barely visible at the bottom of the screen.

Help.

Should educational licenses have a cost?

Mike Aparicio — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 14:07:28 GMT

Certainly, education is one means to promote software usage and is a guaranteed way to popularize it. As an educator aI have the strong belief that software creators have the wrong approach to educational distribution.What you learn is what you will use. It is as simple as that. that is why pirated software somehow contributes to make a software package popular and usually will lead to an increase in sales. Why then relying on pirated software effectiveness when properly identified educational centers could be provided, free of charge, with special educational packages ?I still have not gotten reasonable explanation from ANY software vendor!Mike AparicioMediaLab director.Galileo University, Guatemala C.A.

Iclone 2 vs 2.5 question

huertaaj — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 15:18:22 GMT

I just purchased an academic version of Iclone 2.0 last week Feb. 8 2008 from Academic Superstore. I was under the impression that I was getting version 2.5 but unfortunately it was version 2.0. I would like to have version 2.5. I'm not sure how to upgrade since the Reallusion website is not clear about that and Academic Superstore does not mention iClone 2.5. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

huertaaj

Language Education and unicode

bald_barber2000 — Tue, 01 Jan 2008 22:19:03 GMT

I posted in another forum about this a few days ago. No answers, so maybe sb over here has some ideas. My company is looking for new applications for producing interactive language learning materials. CrazyTalk looks interesting (and iClone as well). The problem I see so far for Reallusion products is that unicode is not well supported. Maybe I'm missing sth, but with my regular applications I can copy and paste Chinese (or whatever) characters directly without worrying about missing fonts, strange symbols or anything else that gets in the way of production. So far, I have not been able to take a speech bubble and successfully enter Chinese into it with CrazyTalk. Without that function, it would be a waste of time for my company to invest time and money in CrazyTalk or other Reallusion products. The most frustrating part, however, is that so far I have been unable to get any feedback on this issue.

I would also expect that for the purposes of marketing globally, it would make sense for applications to be localized to other linguistic contexts. Anyway, these days, basic unicode support is fairly widespread. It looks like I will be researching products from competing companies that offer this function.

[Archive] ESL Learning?

ForumArchive — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 01:26:38 GMT

I used a very rough quality graphic and my animation voiceneeds some work; however, the link below is for a very rough concept to use Crazy Talk for teaching English as a second language. CT was used in conjunction with Visual Communicator, formerly produced by Serious Magic which was recently purchased by Adobe. The non-CT video portion was done completely at my computer, using a webcam. A virtual background was used. Still in the idea stage!

[Archive] iClone classes for adults??

ForumArchive — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 00:56:33 GMT

I was wondering if you could give me the names of some schools that offer on-site or online iClone/Crazy Talk. I am most interested in iClone but realize the Crazy Talk is also very helpful.

My ideal class would be an immersive iClone workshop atleast a week long full time with lab time and cover everything from basics to advanced features.

I know 3dtraining.com in New York city offers some iClone training but they also told me that that is just offered in the advanced class and you have to be in the top of their enrty level and intermediate classes to get in.

Thanks,
