RL Please pay attention to this wonderful work and add this amazing puppet tool to iclone

I'm surprised no one has commented on this vastly improved puppet tool for a whole week.  I agree. There is no reason Reallusion should not incorporate this or something similar into iClone.  I wonder if this type of improvement will be included in iClone 7.  If not, I would be interested in purchasing it from you if it isn't expensive.  I am always looking for ways to make my animations more realistic. I heard that iClone 7 will have a better, realistic renderer than it currently has for animation. Changing textures while animating is also a great idea.

Greatly improved facial animation is something the team are working on for the next version of iClone. We will announce more soon. :)

This was discussed in another thread, so there was no reason to comment here, even when the message text is in a huge font. Also, as Peter has pointed out and has been known for some time, RL is working on improvements. This obviously doesn't detract from the great work by 3DTest.

@Peter
This kind of answer really make my day!!! :-) Thank you

Thanks for another confirmation Peter, I've nearly reached my limits with the current IC facial animation limitations.

Yes, this would be a dreamtool for character designers. Hope the Reallusion product team have seen this.

Hi Folks, just to let everyone know that following a positive discussion with Reallusion last week, I sent my latest AFP (advanced face puppet) system to them on Monday this week for testing/ evaluation.

Whether this new animation approach (or a derivation of it) will ultimately be incorporated into iClone, sold separately by RL, or whether I release this myself is yet to be decided - but I'll let everyone know the outcome as soon as I can via my YouTube channel, as well as this forum - meanwhile, thanks for bearing with me - as well as RL :)

Regards - Mike (3Dtest)
