As for 3d animation... there's mention of the seminar, but no (Detailed Advice) on animation techniques.
It would be super helpful to hear experienced users discuss how to actually animate "To follow a Script."
...blending mocap is one thing, but to actually animate with detailed steps to follow a script... wow
Hopefully I understand what you are saying correctly.
I have been looking into how to produce interesting stories based on the discussions here and at the moment looking into making short stories.
I see that having a point I want to make through my story is what will make it interesting and have been working on some points to make that will be easy for short stories.
It has dawned on me that maybe making short stories that highlight iclone animation methods might be some good points for a short story and I am thinking about posting them on the forum with explanations of how I made the story and how I did. the amimations, scene constructions etc. Well at least as well as I can explain them at least (I'm getting old.....rolling my eyes)
Im not exactly sure what Im going to do yet. Still thinking about it but I am thinking things such as the new partical effects.
Pick some of them and come up with a story that higlights what I find I can use those ones for.
An obvious example for me is the magical particles and using the purpose of demonstrating what you can do with them trough a short story about a wizard.
I hope that will help me improve myself with telling interesting stories and hopefully it will help beginners with doing things in iclone.
Another one I was thinking about was character walking styles.
Maybe start with a character who cant walk for some reason but something happens that enables him to start walking. I can use that to show lots of the walking styles in iclone?
I not sure that would make a good story yet.........maybe? It all depends on what I can come up with. But the point is I would be using the story to show iClones walking styles in an interesting way.
And that is the kind of starting points I am thinking of using for making stories. Demonstrating iclones abilities
I will be definitely starting new threads based on that and if anyone else thinks its a good idea and do the same/similar then great.
Also if anyone happens to post comments/suggestions to improve what I have done then again....great
