What! Doesn't involve Pinhead? Blasphemous!
Or maybe not (no offense Pinhead). We'll just have to wait and see ...


By the way, I am working on resurrecting a version of the Pinhead HQ web site.
I wanted to have a place where all things Pinhead could be found.
It's a ways off yet but have at least I started it.

All,
I do appreciate seeing what other people are up to. It gives me insight into both iClone and this forum. I especially appreciate finding out that a few people are actually earning income making vids. It is inspiring.  Honest.  This is new information for me.
Thanks.

Excellent work, Mark! I always enjoy checking out your projects. I also check YouTube on a regular basis to see if you have posted any new tutorials! :-) Nice to see the write-up about you on the Reallusion blog.

Most of my iClone work is done for my job, which is a Department of Energy contractor, so I am not able to share a lot of it (or if I do, I frequently have to wade through miles of red tape to get permission to post it "outside."). However, here is a personal project I did last summer while I was finishing up my Master's degree from Full Sail. There are some things that I would do differently now (this was before the Curve Editor was released). 



Any critique or advice is always welcome.
Terry

Thanks for the kind words Terry!
Very good work you're doing. I just love that "clean" look.:D  I've done similar projects for Atmos Energy.using the "Mr Pose" avatars ;)

@Terry - Nice work.
You made that boring topic disturbingly interesting to watch.

I can relate to both comments.

I have always been willing to admit most of my stuff belongs in the "bottom half" of iClone work in terms of quality.  It doesn't always totally suck, but I typically have significant aspects left unfinished; typically lighting and background/ambient sound.  I usually think my writing, basic animation, and camera work is okay, even if I should tighten up the editing more to get rid of some awkward 3/4-to-1 second pauses.

Some of iClone work I felt best about suffered (in my opinion) from very slow pacing, but I was working on someone else's project and he was in the director's seat.  So there was a lot I liked in my animation, but the final product did not feel like a showcase project..

Sadly, I'm not really doing much in iClone at the moment.  I've been dabbling a lot more in Substance Designer and Painter, and am in an iClone lull.

That is probably the best compliment anyone could give me. Thank you.

Thanks a lot, Mark. Yes, I find that the clean look comes in very handy, especially when you are trying to use animation as a "teaching tool." It cuts out distractions.
