It was an adjustment switching over from my old Poser/Daz workflow, and I'll admit that I fought it tooth and nail, but now that I've made the switch to the CC Pipeline, there is no going back! The ease and accuracy of applying and editing my custom mocap is like a dream, but equally important--and really the final decider--was Acculips. It's fantastic--amazingly accurate, and simple to use. Here is an excerpt from my upcoming web series "Quest of the Key," now in production.



Workflow: Optitrack mocap to 3DXchang to iClone; characters from CC3 (some Translated over from Daz), animated in iClone and sent to Cinema 4D (fbx/alembic) for rendering ; rendered animation processed After Effects; audio capture using Audacity, edited in Audition; final assembly in Premiere Pro.

Lovely work. Darla is so adorable.
I certainly hope to see first episode soon (4years that was since her first introduction?)

A big fan of your work! I loved Aurora! Great story, great voice acting and top notch animation.

And the ‘Quest of the key’ looks even more promising. Can’t wait to see the ‘adventure’ unfold.

Very nice!  Love the details like the beer foam moving inside the mug when the cup is tilted

Thanks, all! I'll update as I get more done. Gordryd, beer is one of my areas of long study, so I had to get that right.  ;-)  4u2ges, the bad news/good news of the last (lost?) 4 years is that they were very busy years for me, but I think things are clearing out ahead, so I expect to be getting more done in the near (in animation terms) future!

Heeyyy, love your work. Just waouh, really shows the power of Iclone. Love the lighting, the atmosphere, voice, acting, motions, and the details. Really a great great work


     

Thanks, Charly! Yes, I feel for the first time that animating is more work than struggle. It's still work, but I don't mind work when the tools aren't fighting me. I feel like I'm getting better ROI from my time investment, and I can spend my time on all those details rather than overcoming limitations.
