Sorry for the late reply, I don't think I got a notification this time, but yeah, they're way behind the times in the UK I'm afraid.
Really though, it's the forum that's broken, doesn't work properly for Firefox users who don't have Flash installed.

It worked before, but right now it's broken so I can't see any embedded videos :(

Yup, would be very cool to have all this, and I'm hoping the new audio-based stuff they're using is an indication it could finally arrive!

Oops, sorry Zeronimo, thanks for posting the link :)

Don´t worry, be happy! Happy 2016!

lol, and to you JJJAM!

Cheers! :)

I want to keep this prop auto-animation thread alive so here's another script setup for DAZ I think you'll enjoy!  This would be so cool to have in iClone!

Animated props using MIDI text files from free scripts called mcjMidiKit and MIDIload. 




I hope this post isn't inappropriate but I would really love to see how iClone could make things like this shine! :)

Have to admit I was wondering the other day if Audio-Driven animation was one of the things they were keeping secret, cause from what I've read in this thread and others, it's been asked for many many times even way back.  Reallusion are currently playing with audio due to the new stuff they added to CrazyTalk, so who knows, Audio-Driven animation might be just around the corner.

Have to say I'm starting to like the idea of MIDI-Driven animation too even though I wasn't that much bothered about it at first.  It's definitely something I'd make use of now that I've seen it in action.  One thing I will say though, is to bear in mind that MIDI-Driven animation is a completely different beast to Audio-Driven animation due to the way it reacts and what you can and can't extract from it in order to drive the animation.  The videos posted are excellent examples of MIDI-Driven animation, but here's an example of Audio-Driven, the difference being that as the music evolves, the spectrum is reacting accordingly.  In iClone, each one of those bars could be a cube, sphere, colour, a frame of an animated texture, the colour of a light, all sorts of stuff :

Did I forget to mention that marble-driven option?! :P
