20 minutes gone, I'm still waiting. ;) I need some inspiration :D

I enjoy the Unicorns. The skin has a glow skin as well. Difficult sometimes when the light are too hard an angle as they just blow out completely but here I've got some good muscle shape retained.

I'm still not satisfied with this scene but it looks delicious in 4 and was alot easier to get around. Lots of point light sources attached to the unicorns in an attempt to sto their skins blowing out because of the glow layer. But I need clouds. In motion, this would be so good if I could have some clouds crawling acros the skies making shadows. Did someone say they were developing a cloud sphere system or something at one time a while back?

Hi Alley.. Very Beautiful..... but I literally just came here to dupe-post some information I just found because it really should be pinned somewhere. This is a massive inspiration and utterly gobsmacking. I have only just seen this and it should be hailed alot louder than it is.

See the below links.

Armstrong I like your seasons, very beautiful.  We just need a seasons adjuster for the trees in iClone; it would further enhance the winter scene in particular.

Re: Winter Seasonal plants.
Hi Zuilen, This is simply atmospheric work. Clouds, light and wind etc.
The trees have all gone leafless and are skeletal now.
If you have never seen inside the BIOSPHERE Packs you're missing out. I cannot stress how many trees there are in and out of fruit in and out of leaves and all corners of the globe in it. Hundreds.
My YouTube Channel "ReallusionsBiosphere" will show progress of current work until my own servers are ready.

Today I have reworked  MoonFlake Lake.  I thought I'd show it as a contrast.

Geoff.

I love the family, thats a lot of work. Also the Scape above reminds me of many things. But I didnt give enough attention to the hairstyle in the Short Skirt video on the previous page. Thats impressive. I cant see much of it but a close up would be good. It seemed quite intrigueing.

This is a Dragon demo and that sure is one easy dragon to work with particularly when paired with paths.

Warlord, I'm really impressed with your demo too. And those prototype "ActionProps". Wow. Please put my name on a pack. They look as if they are going to be tremendous.

If i remember right, you can just make it invisible (non showing) from the beginning and when you need it to apear just mark it wisible again in that spot.

You can try it :D

There are fairies available at Clones2go

Hope this helps

The Hellhound 's motion is impressive. This is stunning work.
...and the Centaurs are beautiful. Top marks. Centaurs are a definite winnner. Having watched them evolve through.
Armstrong.

In trying to add variety to the MCPE I've spent the afternoon Snowifying all my houses. A fun task and an easy one. Even m' Horsalum has been snow'd on! :P
The Pic I thought was worth a spell in here!!!
Armstrong.

I have to say that playing with the water to make it look snowed over in as far as I could, making it static and making the ripples MAX out and then adjusting alllll the elements of refraction, reflection, surface shine and luminance and so on.... you can actually make quite a pleasant snowed on ice feel in many different guises.

Shy :)

I thought this was better shown here comparing the two.
One wierd issue I cant quite fathom. I havent noticed it before. It could be because I've recoloured the groundplane to snow, but look at the cartwheels and the closer buildings ground touching edge. I cant sort out that white line "underglow" bit in the lower image. :) Whine whine whine. :D

This is the sttyle of the final animation.

And this was the scene before I added falling snow and before I cranked the lights around. 
I corrected the far house and span it around for better interest. I like those goods scales.  
Moved the left tree. Raised the camera viewpoint so's not to clutter the sky with so many branches. Pulled back to shrink the buildings and space the edges and reorganised the lower left corner.

Interest!
Im using a 50 m/m with the Fog set to 3.5k/18k and One directional light and ambient at 40% midgrey.
I've shunted the light across overhead to backlight the houses and at 50m/m the realworld backshunt of the camera is probably about 100 feet but look now, with backlighting, how soft the houses appear through just that extra bit of mist. It's not alot but thats a really appealing alteration on picture atmospherics on my part. I dont often do comparisons like this but that's a small adjustment (backlighting ignored) with a large effect.

Snow:
What we need Reallusion to write is a randomised script that sends a snowlayer over all upper facing surfaces, angles + - allowed, and we can thicken it to make snow fallen as opposed to snowfall. :P
Is there such a thing?

Excellent job.

Shy :)

I think you can forget the newbie tag now 667. That was a very accomplished video. Brilliant. :)

When you click on Post Reply in a topic, along the top bar there is an 'Insert Image' icon (3 to the left of IFCode.  Click on that and navigate to where the picture is stored on your HD.  This will let you upload the image

A big thanks to stuckon3d's intro classes, for finally giving me the comfort level to get this done.

This video started out with my finding a fountain 3d model in 3d warehouse, importing it into iClone using 3dexchange.  Then I added water, plants, props etc.  I bought an instrumental music piece from Amazon today and decided to add a character and dance to the scene to accompany the music and this is the result.  Your comments and suggestions are welcome.

Jason - great job on your green-screening - What do you use as I would be interested in this.  I have heard some people paint a big board green and I have also have heard it suggested to buy a roll down plastic blind in green. 

Then I created a very rough scene using iClone4.

I added the sound effects and the flashing light effect in Vegas Pro.

This is incorrect: pictures can be local on your HD, but they are limited in size to 700x700 pixels.  Larger images will be resized.  If you click the insert image icon (see below), you'll get a dialog with two options: a local file or a URL.

It would be greatly appreciated.

This was done by a 14 yr old.

He wrote the script, did all the voices, animation,etc.

I've visited this forum often to search for answers, and I think there were only two I couldn't find, but then I asked and was enlightened very quickly by the wonderful veterans here.  You guys are great, and this is a kind, helpful community.

Anyone interested in what a writer can do when she's desperate to sell her novel, see my trailer on youtube here:

www.thesnipersquad.com 

http://www.blip.tv/file/3836550

It uses HDR lighting, and the Toon clown head pack.

It's based around a song by EvaMoon Ember, a live performer from the Seattle area who does live shows in Second Life.

http://www.blip.tv/file/3691966

The close ups of her singing are done using iClone. Originally, they were recorded in Second Life, but the lip synching is very poor and was unacceptable on close ups.

A good start keep it up :)

here is a video I made using Mike Aparico's Spinwheel (pinwheel) that he made for me and also one of his outfits that I textured

They completed the "Big Picture" look - Lawrence Of Arabia.

"OCEANICA."
M.C.P.E. Set 11.


Oceanica is a follow on project for a set thats Ocean based in a flooded world or not.  The final water based modern town is encased in a crystal cover that opens up like a glass lotus and hence the time taken to develop the idea.

The set itself will be quite basic and rely in some extensive use of the "digital-silk" in iclone which gives everything it touches wonderful flowing motion.

The strut-rigging is simply somethjing to keep the "Ships at sea" feel because this really is an isolated environment.
The three platforms are:
1. Livestock stabling, blacksmithy, Goat pens, Sheep etc.
2. Crops and Orchards. Root vegetables. Herbs and equipment to harvest, tender etc.
3. And Storage. Straw, harvested foodstuffs, dried fishes etc.

Centrally the Godess, who, of course, provides and the main inhabitants who enjoy what otherwise is rather like a wealthy escape from the scabby landlubbers.

I thought about doing "Shabby" but the thing is, visually it just ended up like a Waterworld remake.
So, I thought a Disneyfied "Pretty" angle would be happier. As if there really is a successful way of living at sea.

The best thing about iClone currently is that if you cna imagine it, you're 101% given the opportunity to create it. I like that!
Anyway, this is my W.I.P. in iCLone 4 to date.
Armstrong.

Thanks

Surely the best thing i have ever seen in iClone.

Congratulations.

Thanks for the response.  Interesting stuff.  How long did the production take?

A little flight anim with a character I created.

Thanks for looking

Praticing some character creation and animating.

TRAINING DRAGONS.

Also, these are actual spherical eyeballs with working eyelids such as they are and with a little work, he peers, glances and blinks but you've got to work on it. Manual adjustment. I think it does the job. The expression is pleasant.

Any newbies who fancy their Dragons being educated drop me a line and I'll send the parts. They're made from basic architecture as per from v.1 iclone so there's no pack infringement or anything.

Also the Saddle and riding harnesses should be ready within the week for those who have Dragon Riders in their midst.

I'm actually quite surprised with the Dragon. It's remarkably stylizable and can be edited dramatically away from the Default form.

Here in my worlds Dragons are Sleek, Slender and Graceful. And pulling out his extremities and minimizing the body, torso, and legs especially ythe thighs as far as I can didnt show much ruin in his skin stretching too far.
This is a surprisingly pleasant animal to work with and, I think with enough time pulling him around trees and hanging off Castle walls it'll add some pleasant impact.

What we could do with in reality are exchangeable heads. Not all Dragons kill. Many are excellent councilors and hold political discussion so we definitely need Dragons recognizeable from one another besides their coloration.
