Hi folks!
I have just seen the comments related to the toon donkeys and felt the urge to express my opinion in the forum. I have started creating toon animals in 2012, only for making my own animations. I was creating them in ZBrush-3dXChange 4 and iClone 4. As you all know iClone 4 and iClone 5 do not offer the option for creating defferent letters through out modeling. I created the donkeys in these programs back then, when iClone 5.5 was still not released which explains the reason why their mouth moves up and down. With the new iClone 5.4 and 3dXChange 5.5 pipeline there is possibility for moving the lips when pronouncing different letters (EXPRESSION EDITOR), but still it can not be accurate beacouse of the reduced number of vertex.
When making the new toon animals in future I will use the newest advatages offered in iClone in order to archieve much better pronounciation. I Already have fixed the donkey and I hope they look much better.

I totally understand you point, I'm trying to learn asset creation for Iclone knowing that by the time I have learnt it Iclone 6 will be out with the new displacement map feature. Anything I make today will be outdated tomorrow.
As I see it Armstrong has come to a realisation that if he needs to create films for clients he needs a new skill set so he can fix that which needs fixing as it's the only true way to know you can deliver what is needed.
No offence to Armstrong,it's just the way it is..

This should make all donkey lovers happy... Sometimes it pays to contact the developer; they're not a bad sort...

Thank you Dicho!..
I know this is an old thread, but I just wanted to say that your donkeys are wonderful!
I have all of your toon characters and love them very much!
I am finally learning how to use lighting and DOF to make them look very professional in scenes too!
So thank you!
:)
