I dabbled with animation and movie-making in high school, but I never expected that I would be able to do the kind of things that are now possible using Iclone. I think it is probably the greatest toy I've ever had ... even with all the frustrations of things that don't quite work like they are supposed to in many versions. The latest versions seem to be more stable. The new updates I have hardly had a chance to explore yet, but they look super. 

I finished up the latest episode of my ongoing saga. It's an amateur work by a hobbyist, for sure, but the capabilities of Iclone make it far better than I would have imagined it could be. So I'm thankful to have a program like Iclone which has provided me with so much fun over the past couple of years. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Quite entertaining. A lot of work. Just finished making a 45 minute movie and I can relate to what it takes to create something like this. Kudos.. How often do you put out an Episode like this... ??

Well done! - Yes, a lot of work. Plus so many FX! Clever use of camera angles to reduce the need for some of the lip animation - (the 'masked' Cornell too). While viewing I'd wondered whether you'd used 'Hitfilm' - (then the end credits confirmed it). Did you use Hitfilm in your earlier episodes? - I can't remember  ..... ~Steve~

Please be patient with me ..... I don't always 'get it' the first time 'round - not even the 2nd time!   - yikes! ...

Good work man, congrats. I smile when people tell you can not find good movies made with iclone on youtube, yes, there are some bad things but if you search well, you can find something like this wich is with good quality. Thanks man


     

Shadoesword: 👍👍👍👍👍

Excellent work, and there was a ton of it. I applaud your dedication and focus. I know
how taxing a large production can be, but it has all been worth it. It's good to see full productions
being made again and not so many "tests". kudos.

I too am thankful for Iclone. I got it when I was 62( If only I'd been 32 instead, what a drag it is getting old. 😒)
and before that I did a few machinimas, but Iclone allowed me to do so much more. (I'm still thinking about a
marriage between Iclone and Napoleon Total War.)

That's excellent, I like that very much.

Thanks for all the encouraging comments. Yes, this episode involved major work and time with all the big battle scenes and armies of avatars. It took much more time than some other episodes, pedrosura. I think I average overall a couple of episodes per year. 

Steve, yes, earlier episodes did use Hitfilm, starting around Episode 3, I think. But this episode made a lot more use of things like the laser blasts and muzzle flashes, not to mention composited explosions.

Here's an Iray still render from the episode. The Acrobat and Lyssa finally meet again after their initial encounter in Episode 1.
