I joined IClone last week and introduced myself in the Newbie corner.  My goal was to immerse myself in the software and start learning my way around the interface and understand how to import elements, texture them and come to terms with the idiosyncrasies of the program. Overall, I have been very impressed with the caliber and quality of the program and as I delve deeper into the assets and manual controls available, I believe this can be a wonderful tool set for Toon based cinema and other material as I become more confident and proficient with the world.  What has impressed me to date is the camaraderie and generous online assistance from the member and the continued graciousness on the Forum. It is a joy to be able to share my WIP and do what I can to be a good IClone citizen.

Here is a first pass as I explore the Toon engine and the Nevermore model I brought in and textured with the stock elements available in IClone 6. I wanted to generate a ten second clip learning how to stage multiple cameras interacting with particle elements. The balance seems to be between a robust environment using render light textures to increase the number of moving pieces on screen. I'm rocking a new PC with a decent NVidia card and I saw no lag or jitter working with multiple elements, multiple particle tools and worked consistently for about 90 minutes generating this sample of rooftops reminding me of an old English village.

I shall continue to #showmywork as I continue my adventures. Thank you in advance for reviewing or responding.
