Hi folks!

This is a recreation of my former iClone 2.5 video Bad Bad Girl!

The music, virtual singing and animation are all my fantasies and of course the virtual singer is also my dear computer performing.

Please enjoy and comment!

Nice job.

It's good to see people paying more attention to mouth alignment - especially during a song.

Hey folks... Thanks!

Tevinii: Mouth alignment is VERY important in both, singing songs and kssing! :D

I have some more songs of my own I will "make into musicals"... I am starting to become a User rather than a CCD. It is a lot of fun, and nobody talks bad about you!

Again... Thanks for the great comments!

Very well done Mike.

Thanks Mel!

I got some mail asking how this was done. Let me explain.

I used iC4 to take advantage of HDR and IBL effects. I used an old background prop from iC 2.5

I composed the Bad Girl song, including music and lyrics and recorded it using Sonar 7 and Soft Synths for the instruments-

Yamaha Vocaloid was employed to produce the virtual singer, with a voice model from Miriam Stockley! The voice track alone was feed into iCLone to generate the lip sync.

BVH dance motion clips were edited and carefully glued together to make the slow, sexy paced motion. Animation Layer was used to do the special gestures and of course Puppettering for the facial expression during the song.

I can tell you one thing: The longest part was creating the song and making the virtual do it right.

Thanks for all comments.

Mike
