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)
