In Memory of Mike Sherwood

https://forum.reallusion.com/uploads/images/bf6c58f7-5425-4d9c-a95b-23f7.jpg

The Reallusion team is saddened to announce the death of our great colleague, Mike Sherwood, who passed away on June 19, 2022, at the age of 56 in his residence due to heart disease. Mike joined Reallusion in 2017 and participated in the development of major features in Reallusion software including CC3 new base, iClone facial expression system, lip-sync, and facial mo-cap profiles. Whether it’s product development, content design, or tutorial videos, Mike always gave his all to empower and improve user experience. Steadfast and persistent in his ideals, one could always count on Mike for giving deep discussions, fresh ideas, persuasive arguments, and encouragement to fellow teammates. Ultimately, driven as he was, he had become the engine that pushed us courageously forward.

Mike had always desired to become a developer and finally, he was able to realize his dream by working with us from across the globe. His bereaved family has also expressed their gratitude to us for having allowed Mike to work a fulfilling job; likewise, it had been a pleasure for us all along.

Oh Wow!  So sorry to hear. :(  His video on the facial mocap is absolutely fa-nominal!

My condolences to all who have lost this dude.
Many good people live too small. Like the great scientist Henry Herts, for example. He lived only 36 years but every pupil in school knows his name.
I love iClone so much and I am very grateful to all its creators, including Mike Sherwood.
