| | Hello, I'm Xaara. I'm retired and have been a 3D Art & Animation hobbyist for many years. I've played with a wide variety of 3D programs; Raydream, Infini-D, TrueSpace (started with V2.x), Animation Master, Cinema4D, Poser (started with V3.x), Bryce, Vue D'Spirit, Hexagon, Rhino, Modo (currently V301), PMG Messiah, and Carrara (to name a few). I suppose that makes me a 3D junkie. I'm a pretty good modeler and I'm totally hooked on Modo as my primary modeling and texturing tool because it makes UV map creation fun instead of a chore. Though I try, I'm not very good at animation. Well...I'm not very good at character animation. I can animate objects, textures, lights, etc.. But animating actual characters is not my forte. I can "cheat" with Poser by using BVH files that I find around the web. But finding just the right BVH file for a particular scene and combining it with action from other BVH or keyframed animation is still a daunting task. That's why I became interested in iClone. I can't fully use iClone yet, because the graphics card in my primary workstation doesn't have pixel-shader support. But I'll soon have a new quad-core machine with an appropriate graphics card. Then I hope to be able animate some real stories as I've always imagined. So, that's my intro. I'm about to post my first request for help in the General forum. I hope someone can help me there. Thanks, Xaara |

| Paumanok West (10/14/2009) ...You are about to become VERY GOOD at character animation!For many years I've been waiting for a 3D program with a "Create A Great Animation" button somewhere in the menu. iClone seems to be really close to that. I have to admit, I'm pretty excited. Thanks for the reply. |
