Hi everyone,

The iClone (IC) Lip Sync Animation Contest is here! It has been 5 years since we have an animation contest, and now it's time to put all your animation skills into challenge! With the iClone 7.9 grand update in Lip Sync, Facial Animation and Facial Mocap, animators can generate expressive facial animations in minutes! Besides our own software update, we are also introducing pipeline tools for Blender, MetaHuman and Replica that can guarantee speedy production for many talented 3D artists. 



The contest is sponsored by multiple industrial leaders, and we are looking forward to your outstanding submission. Welcome all animators to submit us your 30 seconds talking animation, and big rewards await artists that successfully master iClone and incorporate it to their project workflow.

Great! (I do think 30 sec is too short - 1 min would be better, but OK...)
BTW, I think that "Exclusive Test Samples" link for download doesn't work.

.

Cool...
As Animatom said, download "Exclusive Test Samples" does not work correct.
Downloaded file (.zip 56 MB instead of .zip 1,5 GB) only contains this:

Hi,

How do I install the samples?

Hi there! I have two questions:

1. Does the character need to be original? Or can we recreate a character from an existing source? E.g.- Can we take a character from a 2D animation and transform them into 3D?
2. Can we use the original dialogue (from the 2D animation) and recreate the scene in 3D? And by recreating, I don't mean copying frame by frame.

Please, let me know if this will be an issue. I  used to work as a 2D animator, my wish is not to compare the two, but more like play with the freedom 3D softwares allow. But if this sounds unfair for the contest, I will understand. 

Hi...

You can manually copy the contents into your Character Creator 3 Template folder if you are familiar with the Template folder structure. Alternatively, just unzip the sample file and drag and drop the content onto your character in CC3. You can then optionally save it to your CC3  library from there if you wish.

Thank you very much!

This will sound like a stupid question, but I am not sure anymore - is 30-sec minimum or a maximum length?

.

Hi, it's a maximum lengh
