I hope that people realize that even having 3D Studio Max would not allow you to compete with the kind of resources Pixar can bring to the fore. So if only that will satisfy, sell your iClone. As to walking, I'm currently working on a walking scene based on a converted CMU file (walking with a painful left knee), which turned out to be quite a good conversion (from trailerpark.com). It's a personalized walk for sure, which tells me that it is possible. If you want to see quality you will have to do it yourself. Typing iClone in YouTube won't help: I got 5,190 responses, which is a lot to go through. Over time, I have seen some work from others I really like and that would look good as well if I had a faster internet connection and could watch in HD. I do like my own films: they're not perfect, but I'm still learning. I guess I'm getting a bit tired of these glass half empty discussions.... for some it will never be good enough... If you want a masterpiece, start working on it.

This could be said of any software, thats why there will be a new Photoshop out soon, Software develops due to the needs of users. I do not see my glass half empty when using Iclone, I see what it could be. I get the impression that Iclone users are divided with what thay want from the program, some want a out of the box "Strory" telling tool, others want a robust animation suite. there is very little point people saying how good Iclone is in the forum, people should already know, but saying what doesnt work how you like and why does help fix stuff. If I didnt love Iclone I wouldnt even bother saying anything, what would be the point ? But what would be the point of just saying aint Iclone fantastic lets just keep it as it is ? As to walking, I'm currently working on a walking scene based on a converted CMU file (walking with a painful left knee), which turned out to be quite a good conversion (from trailerpark.com). It's a personalized walk for sure, which tells me that it is possible. Yes you can do your own walks and movements but it would be far easier if you had more than one motion layer yes?

bobkat2000 (6/22/2010)
In Jan. 2010, we pulled the Memorandum from the public due to lack of interest. A few days later, we re-released it due to the fact that three investors had suddenly expressed an interest in our slate. After months of talking to the parties, we again had no takers, due again to the economy and the disbelief in Iclone. Last week, in our annual company meeting, my fellow members in our LLC specifically stated that after a year of trying, they saw no reason to continue believing that Iclone would lead us to success. Reluctantly, I agreed and we signed a deal memo with a high end animation company that would give our films a theatrical release quality comparable to Disney or Pixar. It was like a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for, immediately, investors came forth with a serious interest in our slate. In my 57 years in this industry, I've never seen smiles and excitement like I saw exhibited once we went to the high end animation software. I even saw a high powered NY lawyer smile. That's unheard of. Charles Chen is a great guy, an honest man, and a true leader of his company. I know, in my heart, that sooner or later he will get IClone to where it is a major contender and a high end animation product. I'll be back when he does. I believe in IClone. Bob www.bigchief.tv Pretty much expected that response from the investors. Don't know if the parser will be available to everyone as I’m sure it could be implemented?

Just a quick reply here: WMM, like all other NLEs, Windows Movie Maker is no where near being a Non Linear Editor, as it only has a single track for both video and audio. And the tracks are very linear. It's a cute app, and I wish Vegas Pro had many of those transitions.

I was going to react to PC's reiteration and rehashing of an old discussion, but why bother... I'm off enjoying the subtle facial animation of another MovieStorm masterpeice comparable to what we see in the cinema or on TV... TV? Where?
I wasn't re-hashing anything, dude. I was responding to Dreamcube's remark about the "Advanced Timeline" not being critically a Pro feature. Furthermore, I have no love affair with Moviestorm. Their community still has the ability to dish out better stories, despite not have " facial animations" Ooooo facial animations! iCone is a great app, but it -like Moviestorm, still needs to grow. I really would like to see features in the app like physics and more than 1 recording camera is Standard (2 would be an improvement). But it doesn't mean I hate the application. I just wish it did more, so I can do more without having to pay RL for content that relies on the same tech. The new G-eVolver Avatars are great, but they still have that clipping problem (hands cutting through their faces) because iClone has no collision detection. A great addition to iClone would be a real-time (or near real-time) A. I. attached to the Avatar. But knowing Reallusion - that would be a Pro feature. Geezh!

warlord (6/21/2010) I had no idea there was a 5 minute limit. You know I started the app and it seems more like 15 or 30 minutes...let me check the frame count again... it starts at 2000. I think I got it confused with CrazyTalk which has a 5 minute limit hard coded into the app. Ok, my bad it limits at 33m31s. Nevamin' one of these post mentioned, now everyone seems to think I dreamed it up. i was replying to some elses remark. but i got confused with Crazytalk with regard to this limit. Not iClone..which 33m31s for a complete film. I couldn't type in more than 180000 frames for my project.

Hm yes, I guess I'd haev to say I'm more on the animation/graphical side than the story side. I do hope iClone can reach the high end for realtime graphics at least. (Since it's a realtime engine) although I think if it REALLY wants to get to the really good graphics, that's going to require people to go out and get new graphics cards... because let's face it, there's not really any such things as VERY GOOD high end realtime graphics with a cheap or older graphics card. Playing any of the brand new high end PC games will tell you that. Good thing is that most cards now can handle it. However, I think there will be a lot of "NO WE DON'T WANT THIS!" because they don't want to upgrade their hardware. I could go on and on about the things iClone could have to make it a better program, but I think we already have the point. THe important things on the graphical side are the animation, lighting, and rendering effects. Modeling has already been taken care of with 3DX. So hopefully someday soon, iClone can render out some very VERY good things. Oh, and it can already render some very nice looking things now, it's just that you don't see too many of them.

aknzrdude (6/21/2010) you're absolutely right zuijlen - and that's why they call it non linear video editingBut iClone is considered a linear editor, right? Isn't it? But I still don't get why you can only record for only 5 mins within one take..that doesn't makes sense. But, I don't really need to know.
