On this thread I will post images I created with ICLONE 4. I hope this will inspire fellow ICloneers, new and old. ;)

Great showcase for the power of the new lighting tools! Brings a new level of realism.

By Bigboss - 16 Years Ago

Wow ! Amazing !!!

By omanuel - 16 Years Ago

Awesome lighting in those images, stuck! Thanks for posting :D

By safegaard - 16 Years Ago

Very very nice.:)

By stuckon3d - 16 Years Ago

The following image was created with 3d blocks and 3d surfaces included in iclone only. With a little creativity you can create a complex look.

By stuckon3d - 16 Years Ago

BTW, thank you guys for the kind words, comments and critics are always welcome. ;)

By aknzrdude - 16 Years Ago

awesome thread chris - the examples really show how iclone can go beyond machinima making to include still life digital art

By stuckon3d - 16 Years Ago

aknzrdude (10/6/2009)

awesome thread chris - the examples really show how iclone can go beyond machinima making to include still life digital art

Thanks Gabe :) , still life digital art is fun , but I'm thinking bigger! What you are seeing before you is not a still, its a movie in the making. These are actual 3d worlds, you can move through the bushes of the Jungle Ruins images, you can be the one running away from the Dungeon Evil or the one fighting the dungeon evil. The fanatsy image is a classic fight of good vs evil as well. The scene with the 3d blocks could be the opening of a shot of a wizzard or mage creating a potion of destruction. These images are made to show people the infinite possibilities of movies you can create with iclone, and the kind of quality image you can have if you put effort into it. Every single still image here came straight out of Iclone, no post work was done to it. Think about it! Your imagination is your only limit. :)

By DELETED2 - 16 Years Ago

I really like this one in particular. Very nice composite. I love the wall.

By stuckon3d - 16 Years Ago

This is a work in progress, I still need to add the wizzard casting an ice spell and have it collide with the fire from the dragon. It should be a fun challenge. I'm also going to balance the lighting a little better on the dragons.

PS: the new dragon pack rocks!

By Raven2angel - 16 Years Ago

they all look brilliant :)

By Dulci - 16 Years Ago

Your work here is very inspiring!

By stuckon3d - 16 Years Ago

Thank you dulci, you are a doll indeed. ;)
here is the dragon finished.

By stuckon3d - 16 Years Ago

added more fx

By stuckon3d - 16 Years Ago

more eye candy using the garden pack

By Alley - 16 Years Ago

Absolutely stunning!! :)

By afterThought - 16 Years Ago

I think this last one is my favorite yet! Wonderful stuff. :)

By Christy0 - 16 Years Ago

Great images stucton3d, the composition in them is excellent. Love the new lighting FX too. :)

By davidjosue007 - 16 Years Ago

Your pics are very nice, iClone is endless...

By stuckon3d - 16 Years Ago

thank you for all the kind comments , i would have answer sooner but i did not want to bump my thread for no reason. I will only post when i have a new image to show. :cool:

By stuckon3d - 16 Years Ago

Halloween is around the corner so...

TRICK OR TREAT?

By Wolfzone Digital - 16 Years Ago

I'm digging this latest halloween horror shot. Way cool

By Alley - 16 Years Ago

Halloween shot kind of creepy but really well lit - thanks for more inspiration. :)

By stuckon3d - 16 Years Ago

Thank you wolf and Alley. :)
Here is a less bloody one ;)

ATTACK AT DAWN

By DELETED2 - 16 Years Ago

HOLY BADGERS WHISKERZ!!! That is SO damned sexy!!!!! Right down my Avenues. :P I DO like this one.!.!. I love the light on the horse as well!

By Paumanok West - 16 Years Ago

WAY. TO. GO. :w00t:

By stuckon3d - 16 Years Ago

Thank you guys, glad you like them :)
here is another fantasy type one, i did this one using the Dungeon Pack from Arteria3d and Evil force pack:

The Challenge

By Alley - 16 Years Ago

Aside from the totally awesome scene set-up/lighting, etc. - I'd hate to see what happens next. :P

By stuckon3d - 16 Years Ago

Alley (10/26/2009)

Aside from the totally awesome scene set-up/lighting, etc. - I'd hate to see what happens next. :P

:D I was thinking that maybe the knight can tickle the monster to death with the toothpick he has. ;)

By gizmo - 16 Years Ago

Thats good.

By stuckon3d - 16 Years Ago

I created this space image for Grinnbear as an example of lighting in space. All models are from 3d warehouse, all I did is tweak the textures and light the scene. I hope you like it Grinnbear. This is an example of a cool color key light coming off screen a la star wars style. :D

By JMartin - 16 Years Ago

The Force is strong with this one :P Great work Stuckon3D!!!

By stuckon3d - 16 Years Ago

Here is an underwater scene.

By Wolfzone Digital - 16 Years Ago

Now that is some GREAT stuff. That scene render is fantastic. Great to see solid use of the software showcasing its capabilities

By Paumanok West - 16 Years Ago

Yeah, the underwater shot is brilliant!

I was impressed enough to go the trouble of checking something in Paint Shop Pro, because I find the color balance a little hot on the cyan side.

Try lowering the saturation significantly and see if you like the result.

By stuckon3d - 16 Years Ago

thanks guys, here is another with a ship_wreck :)

By Dulci - 16 Years Ago

Love that shipwreck :)

By DELETED2 - 16 Years Ago

THAT is so beautiful. I like that shot alot. WHat are you going to do with it. The colours and the above water flare are excelling.
Beautiful work.

By siesar.music - 16 Years Ago

Very good pictures !!

I like so much !!

;)

By siesar.music - 16 Years Ago

uuuuhhhhh the underwater scene is incredible !!

Super realistic and wonderfull !!

You and me one day will "must" make a work together :D ;)

By stuckon3d - 16 Years Ago

Thank you everyone for your comments :)
Here is an image i created using the middle easter pack from Arteria 3d, hope you like it.

BTW i dont now if you noticed but that Biosphere pack is paying for itself as well. All the plants i needed for all my images, I was able to find them in the Biosphere pack!

By Alley - 16 Years Ago

Those images are totally awesome!! The underwater with the light from above and the middle east scene....makes me want that pack!!! Great job stuckon3D! :)

By Illustrator Cathy - 16 Years Ago

Wow Stuckon - these images are outrageous! Especially the underwater ones. Just beautiful!

Cathy :hehe:

By stuckon3d - 16 Years Ago

Thank you Ladies, here is a romantic one. I call it eastern sunset. ;)

By martok2112 - 16 Years Ago

stuckon3d (10/5/2009)

thanks guys :) , here is the next image

Image 3:

If I may caption this great pic:

"I'm Gumby, dammit!" :)

Great image. Well done!

By omanuel - 16 Years Ago

Amazing how lighting can immediately change the mood...excellent lighting work done on the Eastern Sunset, stuck!

By stuckon3d - 16 Years Ago

omanuel (11/2/2009)

Amazing how lighting can immediately change the mood...excellent lighting work done on the Eastern Sunset, stuck!

thanks oliver,
you should thank my father in law, he was the one that asked me if I could relight a scene, to show what a difference it can make to change the mood of a shot. And I thought that was an excellent idea so there it is. :)
Just like a good script for a story, good lighting is essential for a story as well. It is not only to allow people to see the scene, but also, lighting is a tool to guide the audience how to feel and where you want them to look at on the screen as well. To me :
"lighting is the art of painting with lights".

Stuckon3d

By stuckon3d - 16 Years Ago

I call this one "Bring it on!"

By Dulci - 16 Years Ago

Now that one is just COOL!

By afterThought - 16 Years Ago

It just keeps getting better and better! :)

By stuckon3d - 16 Years Ago

thank you Ladies and Gents for all your wonderful comments, if there is an image style I have not covered and you would like to see, please let me know here and I'll give it my best shot in trying to recreate it. :D

By Christy0 - 16 Years Ago

stuckon3d, all these illustrations are brilliant, I thought you could only produce images of such quality with the likes of Max, Lightwave or Maya, but you have enlightened me to the power of iClone when in the hands of an expert like yourself.

One day I hope I can produce such excellent images with iClone. :)

By stuckon3d - 16 Years Ago

christy0 (11/5/2009)

Awwwww Shucks! you are making me blush man :blush: thank you. :)
Well, I don't know if you seen the thread with the lessons im going to be teaching soon, I would suggest to take a few and I will tell you why?
While anyone can become a master of all softwares with enough practice, not everyone will become an artist by mastering them. And that is what Iclone is, a tool, a tool to help you express your visions.
In my classes, im not just going to tell how to use the tools, but how you can apply it in an artist way to help you unleash your visions. I will also teach some basic principles, for example:
1) In modeling, i will teach you to push a model to its limit without making it heavy. I will show you what can be done texturally without having to model it.
2) In texturing, I will show you how different material behave in real life and show you how to recreate them in the Iclone world.
3) In lighting, I will teach the basic principles and them show you how to translate that with Iclone lights, IBL,HDRI, and tone mapping.

Well I think you get the point by now. I'm going to teach iclone from an artist point of view, because any can teach you that 2+2=4, but an artist can also show you how if you turn a four upsidedown you can use it as a chair. '-l l-, in iclone :P

best of luck to you,

Stuckon3d

PS: Dulci can i enter this as an entry to the Awwwww Shucks! contest. :P

By Paumanok West - 16 Years Ago

Bravo as usual, Stuckie. I agree that this shows us iClone images do not have to look second-rate or fakey.

I LIKE your attitude about teaching iClone in an artist context. In that spirit, I have a deep question for you.

How do you make decisions about scenery so that the scenery is rich and provides lots of convincing detail but AT THE SAME TIME does not steal the scene from the actors?

Another way to put this is: how seriously do you wrestle with preventing an audience from fumbling around a moving picture, not knowing where to look?

By stuckon3d - 16 Years Ago

Paumanok West (11/5/2009)

Hi Paumanok,
please call me Cris or stuckon3d or SO3d, but please not Stuckie. Now... about your question:
here is a little exercise for you. Take a look at my last image " Bring it on" and tell me from one to ten the first things that your eyes go to, then the second thing, then the third and so on. I think that once you see the list, it will tell you the answer to your question. After, please show me the list either here or on a PM and tell me what you think the answer is. Then ill tell you if the answer is correct or not and why. Deal? Believe me this is a good training exercise. I'm not being lazy or anything. Promise. ;)

good luck,

Stuckon3d

By stuckon3d - 16 Years Ago

Well, I tried to make it to the AWWWW Shucks APE competition but I did not have time for motion refinement, so here is a still from the animation im working on. On this one IWall-E was some impressed by jimmy toons costume and Awwww shucking about it, that he ran into a light post. :P

Hope you like it. :)

By Peter (RL) - 16 Years Ago

Absolutely stunning images Stuckon3D. The visual imagery you create is jaw-dropping. Congratulations.

By Wolfzone Digital - 16 Years Ago

Nice one Cris. great colours in that render

By Paumanok West - 16 Years Ago

stuckon3d (11/6/2009)

[quote][b]Take a look at my last image " Bring it on" and tell me from one to ten the first things that your eyes go to, then the second thing, then the third and so on. . . . Then ill tell you if the answer is correct or not and why.

Ummmm. There is no right or wrong answer; it doesn't work that way. The audience looks at what the audience looks at; you have to test with an audience. Pixar, Dreamworks, Disney . . . they all worry about this.

By stuckon3d - 16 Years Ago

Paumanok West (11/9/2009)

stuckon3d (11/6/2009)

Hi Paumanok,
Believe it or not there is an answer, and while people may not agree on the first item that attracks their attention, I will bet you anything their top three items in their list will match one way or another. One persons number 1 answer will match with anothers person number 3 in their list and so on. Why? because it was design that way. I guided the audience to look in that direction. And how i did it is the answer to your original question. I will start a new thread on the training forum and i hope everyone will participate. ;)

here is the thread: Click here

PS: thank you peter and wolf for your kind word. :)

By aknzrdude - 16 Years Ago

for me the first thing that stuck (pun intended) out was the background house followed by the glass sculpture - it lead my eyes away from the walle character and towards the boy

By stuckon3d - 16 Years Ago

Thank gabe, but that was not the image i was talking about. The image is call "bring it on" .
The toon image is still a work in progress. I will definitely take your advice in consideration and tone down the white of the house to push it back. thanks :)

By sumthinwong - 16 Years Ago

My guess would be foreground objects

By stuckon3d - 16 Years Ago

sumthinwong (11/10/2009)

Great answer sumthinwong. Can you posted that again on the "how to" thread i started on the training forum. I am thinking of starting some mini lessons in that area. HERE

Thank man,

Stuckon3d

By stuckon3d - 16 Years Ago

I call this one " Lover's Lane" I created this image to show that you can simulate many more lights than iclone can actually handle by using "Glow" maps. I hope you like it.

This is one of the many tricks you will learn on the texturing class. ;)

By afterThought - 16 Years Ago

That's awesome! I always find night scenes incredibly difficult to light properly.

By stuckon3d - 16 Years Ago

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone.

By safegaard - 16 Years Ago

Amaaaazing. This is really a good meal for the eys - :D

By sjonesdc - 16 Years Ago

stuckon3d

Wonderful. You made me laugh. THANKS !!!!

sjonesdc:hehe:

STILL LEARNING!!!!!

By jleao - 16 Years Ago

Just amazing, really really amazing. This was all done with IC4? Can you make us a tutorial on this?

By omanuel - 16 Years Ago

Awesome, stuckon....that was one wild turkey! :D

By Alley - 16 Years Ago

That was great!!:) Loved how the turkey kicked the plate and your candle reflections on the wall.

Did you make the turkey with clone bone?

By nigel - 16 Years Ago

I really like this, I knew Iclone was capable of the amazing. Maybe you should send the link to 'Paxo' (stuffing) They may ask you to put their logo in.

By Wolfzone Digital - 16 Years Ago

Awesome work Cris. Fantastic

By stuckon3d - 16 Years Ago

thank you everyone for your wonderful comments :) this is my first music video ever in iclone. I dont know why some people think they are boring. They are a lot of fun to make and watch. ;)
Here is a second pass at the animation. I have one more to go, which will be special effects and some more camera tweaks here and there. I'm also going to enhance the lighting on certain close up shots.
I'm posting the progression, so that people can see how far you can push iclone 4. Enjoy! :D

By Rainman - 16 Years Ago

That was truly amazing work! Very clever and excellent everything :) I've heard of the funky chicken but that was off the hook! :D

By Dulci - 16 Years Ago

I absolutely love that crazy turkey. The lighting in this video is outstanding (but when it comes to your work, that's what I expect!)

By stuckon3d - 16 Years Ago

The race is on!

By safegaard - 16 Years Ago

Waw. What a great still. It´s almost alive and i toke my self in hearing the wroom wroom from the cars in my inner space *G* -

You rely hit my fantesi with this one and it become alive. :)

Here is a little sneak peek (work in progress) at my holiday short coming soon

By Paumanok West - 16 Years Ago

Here in Portland, we have a street called "Skidmore." I want you to put up a street sign that says that! :P

(Note that near Skidmore, we also have Going and Falling Streets).

Actually, that is funny. I think i will, thanks for the input. :)

By aknzrdude - 16 Years Ago

wow that is a very nice scene

By warlord720 - 16 Years Ago

Great looking scene!

By stuckon3d - 15 Years Ago

Here are a couple of images i did for the lighting class

The bunny get's it LOL :P

By Paumanok West - 15 Years Ago

Wabbit. Wabbit fwicassie. Vewy nouwishing.

(I think the red in the ball clashes with your production palette; otherwise, scary-good.)

By Wolfzone Digital - 15 Years Ago

Hah. That was great

By stuckon3d - 15 Years Ago

I call this one "Innocence"

By stuckon3d - 15 Years Ago

Iclone4 does not have global illumination, or does it? :alien:

BTW this is 100% iclone, just 3d blocks and lighting. ;)

By stuckon3d - 15 Years Ago

Sun Lit room.

By Apparition - 15 Years Ago

Amazing pictures!

I use this to show unbelievers about iCLone rendering!

Thanks my friend! Great HDR and fantastic composition!

Thank you Mr Apparition, glad that I can help you convert those non-believers. ;)
Iclone4 is trully a very powerful realtime engine.

By Capemedia - 15 Years Ago

Sun Lit Room, is my favorite to date as it show's iClone in a new light :P

No seriously it's a very eye catching image.

Brilliant

By Teviniii - 15 Years Ago

Sun Lit Room is TERRIFIC!

By shygirl - 15 Years Ago

That is a beauty!

Shy

By Alley - 15 Years Ago

Beautiful job stuckon! :) You wonder why she is lying on the couch on such a beautiful sunny day.

By warlord720 - 15 Years Ago

Absolutely amazing. iClone has come a long way in a short time on rendering quality.

By stuckon3d - 15 Years Ago

Thank you guys, I did not expect such a response from that image, the sun lit room and the "Comell box/room" (room with red and blue walls) are going to be follow-up training exercises I'm going to post in the bootcamp area for those people that took my lighting class. I want them to practice and apply indirect lighting in their images, which is essential for good lighting. After all, "the way is in training".

Cheers,

Stuckon3d

By stuckon3d - 15 Years Ago

This was done in the introduction class in about two hours. OF course without reallusions Sci fi packs this would not have been possible in just two hours but none the less.... I think it turned out pretty decent for such a short amount of time spent. Hope you like it.

Stuckon3d

By Wolfzone Digital - 15 Years Ago

The sci fi gear in there looks like it works a treat.

By stuckon3d - 15 Years Ago

I call this one, Clash of the titans.

By Christy0 - 15 Years Ago

Brilliant work as usual stuckon3d, you're the master at composition and texturing, no doubt about that.

By stuckon3d - 15 Years Ago

christy0 (3/4/2010)

Brilliant work as usual stuckon3d, you're the master at composition and texturing, no doubt about that.

Thanks christy0, but i really never see myself as a master, instead i see myself a lifetime student of the 3d Arts. :)
Here is an image I made with wolf's pack that i bought tonight. I call it " The Great Escape" ;)

By Christy0 - 15 Years Ago

Excellent action pic, and really shows of the pack and how great everything is textured.

I was going to mention, putting some blood spurts from the guy on the fence, and thought that might be too gruesome for family viewing, until I saw the poor guy under the car. :w00t:

"How's my driving" :)

By afterThought - 15 Years Ago

Sweet - graphic as it is, I think this is my new fave! Excellent pic, Stuckon! And Wolf - awesome looking pack! :)

By Seeker769 - 15 Years Ago

I love the angle you positioned the car and the placement of the scenery, the guy being ran over was a nice touch, the blood stains are very realalistic. Is the blood a combination of diffuse and blend?

Wolf really did do an excellent job on the car texture and modding, I haven't seen it that close up before, he definetly captured a " Road Warrior " type feel to it!

Chris

By twilit.tera - 15 Years Ago

Beautiful work - very rich environment!

By stuckon3d - 15 Years Ago

i call this one the Sacrifice, when a father needs to sacrifice the daughter to appease the gods. :(

By Alley - 15 Years Ago

Beautiful lighting in this scene....but she looks like a tough cookie and I bet she could turn this around in the next scene - those guys look kind of scrawny. :P

By stuckon3d - 15 Years Ago

Alley (4/3/2010)

Beautiful lighting in this scene....but she looks like a tough cookie and I bet she could turn this around in the next scene - those guys look kind of scrawny. :P

Thanks Alley, here is the same image with an old film look to it. :) It reminds me of those old Tarzan movies. :P

By stuckon3d - 15 Years Ago

Here is a WIP of a space scene using the new starship pack in combination with the outer space interior pack. I call this one "the calm before the storm"

By safegaard - 15 Years Ago

Thats very very good. :)

By aknzrdude - 15 Years Ago

very nice shot!

By Illustrator Cathy - 15 Years Ago

All I can say is "WOW" :w00t:

Cathy :hehe:

By stuckon3d - 15 Years Ago

Thank you guys, here is a little animation based on the last image i made. Call this one: "Ready for Battle"

By mellormedia - 15 Years Ago

Nice looking clip on dude, regards, DT:)

By stuckon3d - 15 Years Ago

Here is a little work in progress, what you are seeing is animation straight from the new motion movie action pack from reallusion. I wanted to show how cool the motion are without any tweaks and then on the second pass i will enhance it even more by applying animation principles via motion layer and add the bad guys he is fighting with, stay tuned. :)

By peteradam6 - 15 Years Ago

Flawless, except for the fog speed. The fog goes very fast along the ground, but the strong wind that's driving it isn't pushing the rain slant-wise at all. So I guess the fog's flow speed need to be significantly reduced?

By Illustrator Cathy - 15 Years Ago

Most excelent Cris! I got that motion pack too but haven't had tme to play with it. Cool beans!

Cathy :hehe:

By Wolfzone Digital - 15 Years Ago

More great test renders. Keep them coming

Sorry mdnavaz,
I can see all the images fine, is anyone else having problem viewing them?

thanks,

No, I can see the images fine.

By The Mythical Dragon - 15 Years Ago

I am not having any problem seeing the images or videos.

By stuckon3d - 15 Years Ago

Hi guys,
Remember this image?

This is a little animation that goes with that:

By mark - 15 Years Ago

SWEET!!!!

By Capemedia - 15 Years Ago

7 seconds, 7 SECONDS, come on, we want more!!!!!!!

Great stuff Cris :D

By stuckon3d - 15 Years Ago

Capemedia (9/23/2010)

7 seconds, 7 SECONDS, come on, we want more!!!!!!!

Great stuff Cris :D

Sorry cape, i only had a few hours to put that image in motion, im trying to do as many as i can for the dead line on friday. :P

By duchess110 - 15 Years Ago

Looking good I liked the simulation of the ground moving with his weight but could do with a few props sort of swaying or some other movement to add to the effect as the scene behind looks kind of static.

By stuckon3d - 15 Years Ago

duchess110 (9/23/2010)

Hi Duchess,
if you look really close the plants are swaying, and the torch jumps up with the thumps, unfortunately the action happens so fast you dont really have time to appreciated. My goal is to try to bring as many still images in my gallery to life for the content demo this friday.

Wish me luck, ;)

Stuckon3d

By duchess110 - 15 Years Ago

I saw the torch on the left move up and down. Missed the plants swaying.

Maybe a pot or barrel something you would find in a Dungeon in the forefront on those steps on the right that could wobble and topple off.

By jimmygee - 15 Years Ago

Brilliant! You must share your knowledge how you get such clear images :)

Jimmy

By stuckon3d - 15 Years Ago

here is another image come to life. :)

By Teviniii - 15 Years Ago

That rabbit action was outstanding. Several people have been "raising the bar" lately. That was VERY IMPRESSIVE.

By warlord720 - 15 Years Ago

That was AWESOME!

By stuckon3d - 15 Years Ago

thank you guys for your comments and critics , they are all appreciated. Here is the next image that is being animated:

By Alley - 15 Years Ago

Wow, just caught up on this thread - talk about skill!!! The rabbit animation was amazing and the visual, but the blood in the horror, almost looked like it was dripping - awesome stuff there stuckon3d!! :)

By sjonesdc - 15 Years Ago

When I first saw the "horror" video, I said "This is way beyond.....Glad I'm not squimish!!!" This seems to have taken everything up more than a notch. This will definitely give someone nightmares!

By Christy0 - 15 Years Ago

WOW!!! stuckon3d, these videos are totally awe inspiring. You keep me motivated to strive onwards and upwards with iClone.

By bsperan - 15 Years Ago

Urg... :sick: I was EATING when I watched that clip! :doze:
Lost my appetite!

Seems like good quality, considering my reaction. But it's difficult for me to judge 'cause horror is just not my thing.

thanks guys, here is a little demontration of what is possible with IPI software and Iclone

By stuckon3d - 15 Years Ago

here is the same animation without live video in the middle.

By Capemedia - 15 Years Ago

WOW Cris now that animation was smooth :)

So wished you would add sound to these clips :P

By sumthinwong - 15 Years Ago

It's good to see what the possibilities are when know how is at the helm of the controls.

By mellormedia - 15 Years Ago

Real quality works - a viewing pleasure, regards, mAD mELLOR mAN

By stuckon3d - 15 Years Ago

I updated the look of the hero and the base exterior, im going to expand the animation i did, with better camera timing and more action shots.

By jimmygee - 15 Years Ago

Brilliant! Love the sets and animation.

P.S Where do the characters come from?

Jimmy

By stuckon3d - 15 Years Ago

Thanks man, here are some more sneak peak scene setup before the big fight.

jimmygee (10/8/2010)

Brilliant! Love the sets and animation.

P.S Where do the characters come from?

Jimmy

Hi Jimmy,
for the hero i used the superhero character and for the villan i used a modified version of one the bonus characters from the flowing skirts and hair volume2

By stuckon3d - 15 Years Ago

here is a flyby of the base created to see which angles are more suitable for trailer cuts so that i can add more set dressing at those points only.

By jimmygee - 15 Years Ago

Excellent work, looks so realistic :)

Jimmy

By Alley - 15 Years Ago

Beautiful - you almost get lost in it all as the camera pans. :)

By stuckon3d - 15 Years Ago

Who needs physics when you have flowing hair volume2, well maybe some people do, but with a little ingenuity i was able to create a grappling hook attacked to a cable to transport a land unit.

Remember always try to think outside box, you will be amazed what you can accomplish in Iclone.

Cheers,

Stuckon3d

By Christy0 - 15 Years Ago

Excellent Stuckon3d, these stills and composition are brill, and the flyby was so realistic, I actually felt a bit dizzy watching it.

This movie will be awesome when complete.

By Paumanok West - 15 Years Ago

Nice. Can you say more about using flowing hair for this purpose?

By stuckon3d - 15 Years Ago

Thanks guys, here is the introduction to the bad guys and how they travel from planet to planet. This is the first pass at the first shot of the episode. there is no dialogue yet, but the plot is that the pilots are luring the droids to follow them so that they attack the base hidden inside and test their new weapons against them.

Enjoy

Stuckon3d

PS: @pwest, all i can tell you is that using the flowing hair is not ideal for every situation but it works great in dense atmospheres like space and under water. The reason why you cant use it in others situations is because you do not have control over the gravity pull so all the motions look slow mo . Hope this helps.

By stuckon3d - 15 Years Ago

A lot of people have been asking me how i did the meteor explosion, well.. I got that prop from http://store.iclonerevolution.com They have some fantastic destrutible props there.

Cheers,

Stuckon3d

By stuckon3d - 15 Years Ago

This is the second pass of the asteroid animation, I want to show people the progress and improvement of the shot. Here is a still:

And here is the animation, I improved the lighting, the asteroid field(made meteor less even and created better scale, and improved the released of the droid animation.

By allpoint - 15 Years Ago

Wow! that looks amazing, looking forward to seeing the final movie!

By Darren01 - 15 Years Ago

extremely professional work stuckon3d
inspirational - well done!

By Christy0 - 15 Years Ago

AWSOME!! Just keeps getting better, and better.

Could be Babylon 5. I want more. :)

By stuckon3d - 15 Years Ago

Howdy folks, here is a little work in progress for my contest entry. The original model was by Andres from the 3d warehouse. The model was 700000 polygons when i opened it in sketchup. After cleaning it up i was able to take it down to 24000 and after adding the prop in iclone, so far im at 74000 total.

I will post a movie tomorrow. Still lots to do. :)

By mark - 15 Years Ago

Awesome work! Clear winner in my book!

Once again the Master shows his skills. Excellent job Cris.

By safegaard - 15 Years Ago

And you still just keep it coming :)
Away some skills you have. Deepest respect from one of your students. :)

By Seeker769 - 15 Years Ago

Good luck in the compitition, Cris :)

Though I'm sure your skill will play a much larger role than luck :cool:

Chris

By stuckon3d - 15 Years Ago

thank you for your kind comments guys. Once the contest is over i will share the clean version of the model so people can study their texturing and lighting skills. :)

PS: for people that purchased any of my tutorials the model will be available to you this monday, just send me an email if you are interested in having it. :)

By stuckon3d - 14 Years Ago

Just keeping my stuff together :)

And here are the stills:

By Sen - 14 Years Ago

Hi ,

always very impressive . Render is :w00t: . Thank demonstrate the power of iclone .

By sjonesdc - 14 Years Ago

Great Work as always!!!!

By Paumanok West - 14 Years Ago

What I CAN'T understand is why someone would build a shrine to blue Jello in their front yard. :D

Is that an in-your-face way to say it's not as disgusting as it sounds? :P

By stuckon3d - 14 Years Ago

thank you for your kind(@sen and sjonesdc) and bizarre (@ pwest ;) )c omments

Here is a little work in progress of the first part of an animation im working on for valentine's day. I'm still working on facial expressions and secondary motions. Comments and suggestions to make it funnier are welcome.

toon love from Stuckon3d on Vimeo.
Cheers,

Stuckon3d

PS: this is for the avatar animation class. So if you have questions on how i did something, write it down on paper and sign up to the class when it becomes available. ;)

By Paumanok West - 14 Years Ago

I'm particularly interested in the many things I don't understand about aligning motion clips and resetting motion origins. This is a very important topic that hasn't been properly explained so far.

Note that I was mystified by the difference between relative and absolute character motion editing for a long time because it was never properly documented. I still haven't tried absolute editing and would like a good explanation of how you know when you need it.

Another thing is that I find Ease in-Ease out usually works for me, but I'd like an explanation of how to know when you need the other kinds of transition curve.

Finally, and this is as important as anything, I want to know how 2 clips should be overlapped on the timeline to avoid a freeze or a pop in the motion. Can we get a close-up look of the correct placement for the overlap region between two clips?

By mark - 14 Years Ago

As always simply amazing stuckon!!!!!

By mark - 14 Years Ago

Amen Pau on.."aligning motion clips and resetting motion origins" it drives me nuts for sure:w00t:

By stuckon3d - 14 Years Ago

As always simply amazing stuckon!!!!!

thank you Mark, i know if there is someone here that can appreciate the attention to detail and hard work it is required to get this kind of quality out of iclone is you man. ;)

Sweet clip Stuckon. Is that the turkey from the dancing turkey vid you made a while back :)

By stuckon3d - 14 Years Ago

Wolfzone (1/26/2011)

Sweet clip Stuckon. Is that the turkey from the dancing turkey vid you made a while back :)

thanks Wolfzone,
Yes, the dancing turkey is making a cameo appearance, he will play a major role on part 2 of the short, and the scene has also been polished up with better props and lighting to fit the story.

cheers,

Stuckon3d

By txon - 14 Years Ago

este trabajo es fantastico, uno de los mejores y mas dificiles de realizar que vi jamas en Iclone, enhorabuena

this work is fantastic, one of the best and most difficult to achieve than ever saw in Iclone, congratulations

By stuckon3d - 14 Years Ago

txon (1/26/2011)

Gracias txon,
yo siempre trato de romper las barreras de iclone. Cuando alguien me dice que no es posible en iclone, me dan mas ganas de comprobarles lo equivocados que estan. Mi objetivo es crear una animacion con la cual nadie sabe con que software esta hecho. Y despues decirles, : Si, esto fue hecho en Iclone , lo crean o no :P

thank you txon,
I always strive to break barriers in iclone, when someone tells me that is not possible in iclone, it makes me work that much harder to prove them wrong. My goal is to create an animation in which no one knows with what software was done in, and then tell them : yup it was done in Iclone believe it or not. :P

By stuckon3d - 14 Years Ago

Its been a while since i posted an image. This one is called blood and sand.

By safegaard - 14 Years Ago

Great to see another setup where you master the lightning so well. :)

By stuckon3d - 14 Years Ago

safegaard (3/13/2011)

Great to see another setup where you master the lightning so well. :)

Thanks safegaard, the image is still a wip, I want to add real avatars on the benches closer to camera and more gladiators fighting in the background with slave tide to posts hanging dead.

By stuckon3d - 14 Years Ago

here is little test of trailer rig that it is automated, not a single keyframe was done here, all i did after the rig setup was tell the truck to Move forward to the path and let the rig do the rest. I know its little jerky but the rig has helpers to smooth that out, i just did not have the time to keep testing. I'll explain how it was done this weekend.

By stuckon3d - 14 Years Ago

This is a test for bumpy terrain for a wagon being pulled by a horse.

hope you like it

By txon - 14 Years Ago

guauuuuuuu es buenisimo

By gizmo - 14 Years Ago

Very neat.

By Paumanok West - 14 Years Ago

Most excellent results, even if the wheels are, historically speaking, far-fetched.

The terrain following is great. Texturing also good (as ususal).

Did you have to take any special precautions in rendering, to avoid the bane of Western film directors (strobing)--The Wagon-Wheel Effect?

By safegaard - 14 Years Ago

Amazing, seems you have a well function way to do that (and a strong horse) - i suppose you will let us know how you did that? :)

By stuckon3d - 14 Years Ago

Thanks guys. Glad you like it.

@ Mitch
the wheels can be as straight or as wonky as you want them to be, it will not affect the rig. I just had them that way for fun. :)
As far as me doing any treatment to the animation, the answer is no.
I'm beginning to like the way this is looking, considering all i did was add one of my lighting custom rigs. I think im going to set dress it and add particles effect to it.

Regarding lighting, would people be interested in buying a professional lighting setup kit, so they would have a great starting point for their scenes. I'm thinking the kit would have:

1) sunset
2) sunrise
3) noon
4) night

All lighting setups properly balanced for HDRI and it would include my paid lighting lesson as a bonus.

How much would people be willing to pay for something like that? Please let me know, any feedback on that would be great. :)

By sumthinwong - 14 Years Ago

Inquiring minds want to know........how did you do that?

By mark - 14 Years Ago

YOU NAILED IT!!!:D AWESOME!!!! ...now how, if I may be so bold, O-Great-One:P

By gizmo - 14 Years Ago

The lighting kit sounds good. As to price . . . I guess thats down to you.

By stuckon3d - 14 Years Ago

ill be posting a how to videos this weekend on my free intro page. :)

By Capemedia - 14 Years Ago

Like anything it's down to price. If for example the item is around $99 then it has to be special, like a theme pack or new innovative content, otherwise I'm not buying it. However if it's around $10 - $20 then I'm more likely to buy the content.

But this is just my thoughts :)

Very interested!!! As far as price, it should be in the same price range as Reallusion's breakable props and movie sets.

By stuckon3d - 14 Years Ago

I call this one: "Bad doggy!"
Anyhow....here is a little sample of the importance of using specular maps for skin even if you are using high res textures. Take a look at the behavior of the highlights. See how they break up with the skins imperfections as opposed to run across evenly over the body parts, which is what makes it look metallic. Specular maps are a must for good looking skin.

Cheers,

Stuckon3d

By Scenes3Dee - 14 Years Ago

Nice effect. Good job ;)

By Paumanok West - 14 Years Ago

Yep. Definitely a case of texturing done right. :D
Cris, can you post a little snip cropped from the specular map?

By Capemedia - 14 Years Ago

Very nice stuff Cris. Looking forward to the animated piece and yes would love to know how this is done :)

By stuckon3d - 14 Years Ago

thanks guys, the tutorial is HERE .Just scroll down the page to see it. ;)

By Teviniii - 14 Years Ago

Brilliant imagery and use of iClone.

By martok2112 - 14 Years Ago

Chris, these visuals are simply sublime! I'm going to pay heed to your tutorials, and see if I can get similar results.

Thank you again for your services to this great community! :)

By W.VEEKE - 14 Years Ago

All your images are brilliant work. I everytime see the masterhand in it. Especially the underwaterscene took my attention. It is really an artpiece

Is it possible that you show us a few more underwater scenes. Thank you for sharing all your professional work with us.

Wil

By stuckon3d - 14 Years Ago

Thank you guys. :)

@will
when I get a little more spare time i will do more underwater scenes. Right now im on the minus side of the spare meter, meaning im sleeping less to have some spare time. :(
I'm working on a freelance project and a trying to get "the pro lighting kit" for iclone finished as well.

Cheers,

Stuckon3d
