If you have a chance, check out my very first machinima posted in the Showcase Yourself thread. Here's the link:

LOL - thanks. I've no intention of changing much, except maybe making some better how-to tutorials as I go along. Personally, I think the iClone community is too focused on what they can sell to each other. There's hardly any good tutorial series out there. Again, I stole from the best:

You Sukc at Photoshop (completely awesome series - even if you don't use photoshop)

and

Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Review

Rex,

This may be what you say at your workstation, but if you were doing a presentation to a "public" group, you would temper your language.

Let's make this the last response to the language issue and focus on other issues.

Test01; you are my new InterWeb Hero! Don't change a thing!

Oh, BTW; I'm in 'Show Business'...I found nothing wrong with your language....:), didn't offend me and are exactly the same things uttered[at this workstation] when I use a program that has a mind of it's own!

Test01,

I believe what you want to present in your tutorials will be helpful to a lot of new iClone users, including me.  I'm not being critical about the content and the presentation of the tutorial but the language. Using such language in a "public arena" is a turn off.  

As far as making tutorials, at this point in time I have neither the knowledge or the skills. I am still learning and want to learn from those who are willing to pass on their knowledge.  This is why I joined this forum.  When I reach the point where I can make a contribution to the iClone community, I will be more than willing to create a tutorial.

Sorry, hadn't gotten around to the tutorial yet, so I thought this would be the next best thing for the moment by showing it and then slowing the vid down to help visualize. I was still trying to figure out the best way to make the motion look more realistic. I found that on real life examples, a leg sweep happens so quick (~1 sec) that it is usually just a blur. Applying a motion blur to this type of movement in After Effects would greatly enhance the realism and make it look much less mechanical. The big trick is to get the front leg to stay in the same position during the movement. I do this at the very end.

It takes me a series of about 4 different modifications to a "COLLECT CLIP" movement/transformation to make a motion like this.

I'm sorry you did not enjoy it, but thanks for the feedback! The video does have a "NSFW warning for language" at the top of the page within this thread.

You are welcome to make your own tutorials and post them up as well. In fact, I wish more people would.

Test01,

This may be a great tutorial, but I did not continue because of the language. Please use non profane language in your future tutorials.

Thank you!

The video shows two different version of a front stance into a leg sweep. The second one mirrors real life more accurately because the character takes a step forward and then sweeps. I have both showing from different angles and then the last set at different speeds so you can see it in slow mo:
