Awesome... presented clips looks alike Pixar made them! Great job. I wish to know how much time animators have spend to make such masterpiece...

Don't leave anything for tomorrow if you can finish it today

lol ....wungun,  you are being way too sensitive on the topic,  you are defending your win ...yes you worked hard but Grabiller isn't saying anything negative about your work.  His comments made sense and your work was good.

And Grabiller,  you are not on any blacklist,  at least not with me,  wungun reacted to you,  as you reacted to me and my comments in past threads lol    ( laughs,  now you know how I felt :p )

btw,  great work on all contest entries.   They were all fun movies....i personally could care less if you used a sony red or stop motion....it was either fun to watch or not.  


this forum may have many quarrels,  but the beauty of it is,  everyone is being honest with each other,  stop taking honesty so negatively.   Either you agree with the assessment or you dont,  either you enjoy your own work or you don't.
I personally learned to say "I liked what I did very much" regardless of public opinion.

Well said and summarized. I'm afraid Wungun didn't understand a bit about that though lol. Anyway, lets stick together, yes. Cheers.

Well, to be honest, I'm done trying to round the edges in my comments, as I'm probably already on some kind of blacklist here, so I don't care much about childish reactions. If some will take it as an attack on their work then it means they didn't understand my point at all and they should first work on their ego.



My initial message was written to precisely warn about that kind of thinking: The best character animation video has been animated in Motion Builder, not in iClone.

This is not mentioned on the winners page, on the Reallusion site, and this is misleading (on purpose ?).

I'm just asking for a bit of honesty.

"He" red the rules and "he" understand those and you are right, there was (almost) no rule about the software for creating the videos. Then, in the Winner page, at the very least, there should be a mention of which software has been used by the winner of the "Best Character Animation". In this case, the animations has been done with Motion Builder (when they were not mocaps), not with iClone. Just to clarify.


Hmm, tell me, what did you do in iClone for this entry that shows what one can do with Reallusion product(s) for a game development pipeline ? Nothing. Characters have been designed in Daz3D and animations (aside mocaps) done in Motion Builder. Ok, you use iClone to render your sequences, but in a game development pipeline those are "rendered" by the game engine. So here I'm not sure what your point is ?

In terms of "animation" there is no use for iClone in a game development pipeline, almost all game companies use defacto standard softwares such as Motion Builder, FaceFX, etc.. iClone has no chance to compete with those.

That said, don't take my previous message too personally, that was not a critic of your work, but more about the way those kind of contests are advertised, commented and priced.

Hi Guy,

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I'm impressed you felt the need to express it on here knowing that some will take it as an attack on their work, even though you have stated it is not.

In a lot of competitions I have entered or observed I too have not always agreed with the winners and I'm talking major animation competitions, but it's not my place to judge.  If that's what I want then I need to run my own competition or get on the panel.

However, the overall standard of entries for this competition has been higher then anything that has gone before.  This make me feel that iClone can finally start producing professional animations and begin to get noticed.  iClone maybe marketed as a developers or pre-viz tool but what this proved it's so much more then that.

As I've said before, I don't think there were any losers in this, just winners.

Cape :)
