WIP Journal Entry #1
For this Contest, I choose to go with the Hamilton song “My Shot”.

Hamilton | Columbus Association for the Performing Arts


This goes perfectly with this contest as far as this is literally My Shot to win this animation contest. The vocal variety from this selection will allow me to use the New Talking Style Editor. The 30-sec clip has smooth and fast parts, as well as parts, where I will have to use the enunciation talking style preset. I want to use UE for the overall render however for this I want to use mainly Reallusion Software and Assets. From building my Digital Double of Hamilton using CC3 and the animation and Rendering all in iClone7. (Besides using Photoshop for textures and Blender to edit mesh.) I look forward to the contest and seeing the other entries. Good Luck!

My Shot WIP Journal #2 Character Design

For my Character, I created a Digital double of Lin Manuel Miranda. Again, I wanted to create my character only using CC3. Which I convert the character to CC3+

 CLOTHING

For Hamilton’s costume, I relied on the Market Store and purchased Alley 1500’s costume. Her assets resemble the costumes used in the show. You can find it here:

! For this contest I didn’t have to show the whole body since this is a face lip sync contest. But I did replace the shoes from Alley’s 1500’s package with these boots I bought from CGtrader.
They just complete the whole costume better. Here is the link for those. https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-print-models/art/scans-replicas/high-boots-base-mesh

HAIR

With the image I used, Lin’s face already had textured facial hair. I used Photoshop to clone stamp the facial hair and added “Mustache Sparse” and the “Circle Narrow Goatee”.
From the Beard & Brows Builder Pack.

To create Hamilton’s Hair, I used Reallusion’s Export version of the Slick back Tail in the Conformed Hair Series pack https://marketplace.reallusion.com/slicked_tail.
However, to get the look I had to edit it. The great thing about CC3 is you can edit the mesh in the modify panel. With that Blender is faster when it comes to editing mesh without the lag from my computer.
So, I edited the mesh in Blender then exported the hair back in CC3. From there I did edit the hair mesh more to get the result I wanted.

My Shot WIP Journal #3 Behind the Scenes Screen Shots

I believe I'm getting better with animation especially with the LIVE FACE app and Perception Neuron Pro suit.
However LIGHTING is something I always wanted to master in 3D. I know with Great Lighing you can improve the quality times 10.
A great tutorial I follow is from fellow instructor Benny. You can check out his tips here

There is no need to post final clip to WIP but it gives opportunity to comment...
Nice Wink

This is really good. I came from YouTube. You have really improved a lot since your first video. I like the detail you put into the model. 

I'm trying to improve my look. I would like to know more about your rendering process. What settings do you prefer to use. I have learned that lightening is a big key to good results. I'm still toying around with lighting since I'm not familiar with that area. I've watched Benny's videos but I'm fairly new to iClone and I have a hard time understanding his process.
