Sonic7, it is so damn cool when someone takes the time to write such an encouraging, detailed response to your work. Thank you. You made my day.
Iclone is such a great sandbox to play in. I love so many aspects of this hobby...working with actors, creating the sounds, mixing the music, editing, messing around with camera angles, playing with the different 3D sets and assets created by such skilled artists. I even enjoy the writing, through at times it can be a headache.
The animation is probably the most frustrating part, though it does fully absorb me like some twisted puzzle I have to solve. I've gotten better and Reallusion has made it easier with some awesome upgrades over the past years. Acculips is perhaps my favorite recent feature and has saved me the most work. The new stuff in Iclone 8 was not used in this episode, but I also love the new ability to change the motion direction of clips.
I see the flaws in my animation, and I know I have a long way to go. Some stuff I see on this forum just blows me away. But, I keep getting a little better, and I'm still having fun.
