I saw a machinima recently called "HALO vs. iClone" and in it, a HALO character blows up the stock iClone 4 character.
Ha ha.
What I'd like to do, is to make one called "iClone vs. HALO" which would start out the same, but then the Giant Gatling Gun Equipped robots would come out and start shooting at the HALO character making him run away and hide somewhere.
Then a giant dinosaur might come out and chase him somewhere else.
Then a giant hand might come and grab him, showing off the ability to animate fingers.
But what I'm missing is a basic HALO-like character. It would need to be close enough to be recognized as a HALO character, but far enough away to not be sued.
And it seemed like that would be a good freebie for all iClone users to have in their arsenal.
Might I even be so bold as to suggest an "iClone vs. Machinima" contest, where at the end we take ALL the submissions, and make one giant demo reel of how much better iClone is for making machinima than HALO?
As an entrant in the 48 Hour Film Project for Machinima basically since the start, every time I see a HALO based entry it makes me cringe. Apparently there is no way to have a character in a HALO machinima without a weapon.
Let's set these folks straight on what's possible with iClone. I've already turned one person around and cleared up a whole bunch of misimpressions that are out there about how iClone works. Most don't even know that you can pupetteer in director mode with WASD. When I told someone we could mocap with a Kinect, they thought I was lying.
