Hi fellow iCloners,

So I've been messing around with iClone and CC3 for the last couple of years - watching the tutorials and seeing some of your amazing work and finally have something to show myself

THE STORY
So, this is the first of a six part animation series entitled "The Element". The Element follows the story of Tara Hill, who experienced the best and worst days of her life on the same day. Six years later she discovers that the mysterious events, that occurred on that day, had something to do with a blue gem she got for her birthday.



THE PRODUCTION
This project is still a "Work in progress" and I released preliminary version for comments with the hope of making the production better. This version was rendered in iClones native renderer but I've already started transferring the first scene into Unreal for the final render. I'll upload that as soon as it's been edited.
All post production work, including lighting effects, was done in Final Cut Pro X. The original footage was rendered in 4K (4096x1742) and then upload in 1920x1080.

Please feel free to share any comments or constructive criticism. I have broad shoulders

Well I think it's very good! I'm ready for the next episode.
Love the voice acting..spot on! I for one think iClone is capable of a very good "look" if one works at it and learns the tools . Still in all I've seen amazing renders from Unreal so whatever works for you will be best. All the best and as I say... I'm ready for more!!!

Thanks Mark. I really appreciate the positive feedback. I agree, and really tried to push the iClone ‘look’ to maximum here but once I tested Unreal’s Ray tracing there was unfortunately no turning back.

I’ll post the jogging scene render from Unreal as soon as I have a chance to edit it.

Have already started working on Episode 2, so hopefully it won’t take to long before it’s uploaded.

Congratulation on your first episodes it was fantastic I enjoyed it I look forward to the remaining episodes.
The render looks great I love the environment and the atmosphere everything complements the story.


Warped Reality VFX.

Thanks Kevin.

Any suggestions on how I can improve anything before I re-render in Unreal?

Even without UE, to me it looks very professional done - great work, congratulations!

Fantastic work! Very well-conceived and executed camera work for compelling storytelling, excellent lighting effects, very smooth animation, high caliber voice-acting, effective use of music and well-mixed audio. Also some nice VFX . Clearly this is a highly polished work demonstrating the capabilities of Iclone. I have no suggestions at this point, just encouragement for a beautiful job.

Yes , very well done !  👍

Wow, thanks so much gents, for your kind words.

Coming from the 3 of you it really means a lot. You might not know this but I have been checking out all of your work, as you've been posting them on the Forum

@Ampertox - Love your work, esp. your latest "epic fight" scene.
@ CaryB - Your "Those who walk in darkness" series is really good and was kind of an inspiration for me. Can't wait to see Episode 9
@ Baseline303 - You're just simply legend, man!

Thank you

Yo, nice!
