Went on summer vacation with the fam and managed to create this groovy hot tub/jacuzzi during a few of the down times when not in the pool or ocean. Includes 2 modified legacy particles (bubbles & water ripples), a wooden deck with subprop fence panels and deck/pool chairs to soak up the sun. Just 450 points.
A successful vacation all the way around!

I love your props Biz. I use a lot of them and they always look fantastic.
Your work has been a great asset to all of my productions.

Thanks for the kind words Peter. I've switched to modeling in Blender this year and I'm really happy with the results which has led to a more active role in the marketplace.
Looking forward to more tales of Arianna!

Howdy all. This month I've been focused on creating morphing props (September Morph for all you Neil Diamond fans...).
First off I released a Morphing Umbrella pack that has three umbrellas (a single color, a rose and a spiral umbrella) that can be opened and closed using a single morph. Keep dry on the fly! Mason is so happy and satisfied!
Next up I released a Morphing Trampoline with 4 morphs of varying bounce depths and one off center bounce morph. Get your bounce on like Kim Jong-Un!
Little side note, our old neighbor gave my son a small backyard trampoline (which Kid Millions loved) and would always ask him if he was getting his tramp on. Strange bit of phrasing but hey, free trampoline!
Now this morning I've released a Free Morphing Squeeze Bottle so anyone who's never played with morph props has a chance to download the bottle and play around with it to see the possibilities of morph props. Be sure to check out Mason angrilly squeezing that bottle in the video. So angry. Anywho, have fun!

Nice morphing props!
And thanx for your Squeeze Bottle Freebie ;)

Thanks (and your're welcome!) ToyStoryLab.
I had been meaning to learn morphs for a while for the express purpose of making a functional umbrella. I think it worked out pretty well. I found Warlord's video tutorial very helpful (below). I also need to take a look at Lord Ashes multi step morph tool soon as it definitely adds new functionality to the morphing process. Hoping to add more morph props in the near future.

Good morning Icloners! Way back when, I was watching a classic cartoon and thinking about how us poor 3D animation hobby folks could pull off those neat squash and stretch animations everywhere. Then along came the IC7 morph abilities and I filed this idea into my noggin. Now this weekend I've managed to release Willie's Steamboat! It's similar to a classic boat from cartoon history with cartoony morphs on the steam pipes, flag and all three steam whistles. Take a look at the video to see it in action.
As a last touch for the prop I modelled a black steam cloud that I figured would morph in shape and then dissolve. However, the prop would have to be duplicated for each iteration of the steam pipe morph which was a big pain in the butt. Therefore I modded a legacy "puff" particle and managed to get the timing in sync with the animation (as well as starting the second emitter one cycle behind to have them offset). Pretty happy about how the whole thing turned out.

Speaking of classic cartoons, today I've released the Cartoon Family TV Room. No fancy morphs in this one but I'm happy with how it came out. The phone was a particular source of frustration and then pride. Anywho, its perfect for toon shading or rich GI lighting (as seen in the video). Impress your friends with your own couch gags! Happy filming.

Here's an interesting project I've been working on for a while and released on the marketplace today - Davinci's...er TheBiz's Last Supper. The project includes the room with exterior backdrop, wall tapestries, table with bread, oranges, wine glasses and plates, a knife accessory and 13 posed characters. I posed the characters using the Chuck G5 and then replaced him with clonebone characters to reduce the project size. To use your character in the project just drag and drop onto the selected clonebone and then adjust the hip/waist up/down in the edit motion layer tool. Poses were created with the chuck character so similarly sized characters should require only minor position edits.
Your ability to use this project will depend upon your computer specs and the abilty to handle 13 characters in a project. My computer (I7, Nvidia 970) could handle 13 chuck characters (about 25K) but bogged down using CC characters of appx 45K each. Project is appx 39MB.

Here's a recent release that may not be as complex some previous scenes/props but its a model that I was pleased with the result. It's a Tiger Paw Scallop Shell. Great for underwater scenes and whatever Aprodity-ing you care to get up to. Everything is sub propped to hide or animate. Happy Icloning!

Happy Holidays friends! To close out the year I have released a Morphing Flower Bloom. The stem and flower pot are subprops that can be hidden or removed and the petals can be duplicated and rotated for a more full bloom as shown in the video.

Good Evening All. After a productive weekend I've uploaded a project that's been in the works for some time. This is the Inflatables series featuring six props each with at least one inflate/deflate morph. Also, each prop has an air pump sub-prop with reach targets so you can easily get the scene animated. Just attach the character hands to the reach targets and move the pump shaft up and down. Then open the morph animator and change the morph values along the same keyframes as the pump motion. Easy squeezy! Enact your own DeflateGate! Pump up the world! Pull that basketball out of the attic and pump it up. Abandon your friend to a watery death when their pool float suddenly pops and deflates. Whatever your heart desires (as long as those desires can be inflated and deflated).- Basketball
- SoccerBall
- FootBall
- Pool Float
- Tire
- Earth/Globe
Buy the package to get inflated value at a deflated price!

Good morning fellow Icloners! I uploaded a Holographic globe this morning. Includes a projector subprop with a base and light cone subprop that can be turned on and off as needed (see handheld projector without base). Globe grid and blue sphere can be turned off. Colors easily changed in the materials panel. Perfect for sci-fi adventures and espionage/spy thrillers. Have fun!

Hi all, I released a fun one today. Heres the physics based High Striker Carnival Game. This is an IProject with the High Striker prop, the default Christian character and a mallet accessory. Christian has the "strike hard" motion applied and the mallet has kinematic physics set to interact with the prop. Within the High Striker there is a pivot subprop with a hinge constraint and a dinger subprop with slider constraint. Mallet hits the pivot and pivot hits the dinger. Dinger goes up! You can adjust the height of the dinger by moving the hinge constraint (and the two hinge subprops) back and forth along the pivot subprop. Fun to play with and looks good as well. I included one of those fun little photo moment boards with a funny picture you can stick your head through and the striker includes support wire flags and cone speakers for your carnival barker.
Speaking of the carnival barker I had an extended voice acting moment in the promo video as the said barker. Good times! My son, Kid Millions, also has a very brief cameo in the "foto fun" scene. I ended up really happy with this prop and the promo video. Hope you like it!

Greetings! This week I've been hard at work on this physics based Rotating Turnstile. Perfect for your subway stations, building lobbies, elevator banks or anywhere you need to count the entrance and egress of visitors while providing some restrictive protections.
The turnstile rotator subprops have hinge constraints on them and I successfully gave them weights and friction to keep the motions appropriate. All you have to do it turn the character collision shapes on and parade them through the turnstile to see the rotator spin. Alternately you can turn off the physics and turn the rotator subprop in increments of 120 degrees on the local rotation. Add a little transition curve preset on the back end to give it a bit of bounce and there you go.
The prop is modular so its easy to add or remove as many turnstiles as you need with iron fence subprops on the end. Enter/Exit signs are decal subprops that can be turned on or off. Also includes a basic station lobby with stairways at three openings.
Happy filming!

Continuing with the physics based props, today I uploaded a Hand Bell with a physics cone-twist constraint on the clapper (the ringer). You just attach the prop to the character, animate the ringing motion and let the physics animate the clapper as seen in the video. Easy as pie! You can turn off the physics for added precision as the pivot is properly set. Have fun!
|
|
By thebiz.movies - 5 Years Ago
|
Continuing with the bell theme today I have uploaded a Large Ringing Bell with physics based clapper and Bell swinging perform motion on the bell subprop. Great for church towers and historically significant sites. Bell, legs, wooden base and swingwheel are all subprops that can be hidden or removed as necessary.

Happy weekend folks! I released a physics based Carnival Swing this weekend which has cone constraints on the swings and lets them swing out and about as the carousel spins (see video). The faster the spin, the crazier the swings fly out. Prop has a shaft subprop and extension subprop with keyframe animations included. Rotate the shaft and extend the extension for height adjustments. Also includes a fence and control panel subprop that can be moved, removed or hidden as needed. Happy filming!

Here's a little fenced in backyard swimming pool prop. Fence is 2 subprops (1/4 and 3/4) that can be hidden or removed as needed. I found it a few months ago (created in sketchup in 2017?) and uploaded it a while back. Now it feels like it would make a nice freebie for those who would like to be spending more time outside...I know I would. Have fun!

Morning Icloners. I uploaded the Free Axe's sibling today. Heres a Free Hatchet for you. Careful...its sharp.

Regarding rosuckmedia's lantern request from the previous post, he was looking for the lantern used in smallWstudios IC5 tutorial here:
The model is from the 3D warehouse and was created by Scott G.
I was able to get the lantern off the warehouse, convert it to a skp7 file and separate the handle. If anyone is interested I can email you the iprop file but its large (9K+). Just shoot me an email to thebiz.movies @ gmail.com. You will have to add the physics, textures and particles yourself but that's part of the fun.

Im out on some water a bit this summer and the neighbor has a couple of them (model what you see right...). Apparently they are really good at eating bugs which makes them quite popular. The bird life out here is pretty spectacular. On a given day I watch osprey dive bomb the water to catch fish and then get assaulted by seagulls who try to steal the fish. Meanwhile the loons and geese and 100 other species of smaller birds look on. Best part of 2020 for me.

Hello all,
This weekend I uploaded a T3XT SP33K Particle Emitter Prop so your characters can act like the younger generation (whippersnappers!) while on their mobile devices. The prop is a dummy with 15 attached particle emitters and 15 perform commands to emit one instance (1 second) of each particle. Just attach to the character or prop and select position from the attach sub menu. Particle will emit 35 units above the attach point. If you just want the particles you can detach from the dummy prop and save to the particle folder.
Includes LoL, YO, SUP, !!!, ???, !?!, IDK, WTF, FTW, OMG, YOLO, L8R, GR8: ), TTYL, XOXO

Evening fellow ICloners,
Nestled amongst the boughs of your local park is the perfect performance space for a classical ensemble or a local folk trio. The conical shape of the bandshell provides natural amplification for all to hear. Bandshell prop includes bleachers, physics enabled flags with custom texture designs, a commemorative plaque, steps and terrain subprops which can all be hidden, moved, saved or removed for your convenience. Its based on a local bandshell in Prospect Park in Brooklyn. Seen some good shows there....Anyways, happy filming!

Good morning ICloners. I got a little Friday Freebie for you today!
This timely and Free Voting Booth (not to be confused with John Wilkes) is the perfect place to privately cast a ballot and show your support for your favorite political figure. Simply add to a room and duplicate a few in a row to create a voting center. School gym sold separately at my store. Characters not included. I also have a Debate Hall available for cheap if your looking to add to your political scenes.
For this prop I wanted to create the little voting tables as seen in the 2016 election but to avoid copyright issues on the "Vote" flag emblem I downloaded a public domain flag image from wikipedia (good source for pd images), added it to a physics enabled flag, rendered a png image and gimped up the logo. I thought it turned out pretty good. Happy filming and remember to vote!

Evening ICloners, this week I've released 3 legacy particle effects. First there's the Seeing Hearts effect which is perfect for those avatars in the throes of love (or perhaps its just infatuation masquerading as something deeper). Next is the Seeing Stars effect which works well for all those avatars that have been hit in the head (also clobbered and/or smashed). Be sure to see a doctor if your avatars issues continue. Finally there's the Catching ZZZs effect which is perfect for taking an afternoon nap, getting some of that deep REM sleep or if your avatar is simply nodding off at work.
Happy filming!

Good morning Icloners. Today I have uploaded the Electric Carriage prop for Iclone7. It would look great in a steampunk environment but the Electric Carriage (or electric Hansom Cab) was a real thing and one of the first steps in the electric vehicle evolution.
Fully textured with front and back wheel subprops as well as steering wheel and accelerator handle which can all be rotated and animated for vehicle movement. Steering wheel and Accelerator include reach props (set rotation to on) to easily animate the driver. Interior painting is in the Public Domain (Thomas Gainsborough - Mr and Mrs Andrews).
