Hi,

I'm fairly new to iClone I've been making lots of progress on creating characters. Now its time to create an indoor scene for them (apartment in downtown Los Angeles is the setting). before I begin walking in the dark, can anyone suggest tips, hints/ content packs, tutorials? For example, I went into the Set>>Props>>Wall and Floor so I could start building the inside of the apartment. Is that where I would go to begin building my indoor set?

thanks

Sal

Looks like I need Sketchup for starters

1) There's the Free Google Sketchup 8, but you would need to learn the Program, which could take some time http://www.sketchup.com/download/gsu.html.

2) There are thousands of Google Sketchup models in Google warehouse. http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/

You need Reallusion's 3DXchange Program for 1) & 2), to Import Sketchup models into iClone.

3) Mark's Tutorial HERE; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0GQXwKXvMc&feature=player_embedded  will get you started using iClone's 3DBlocks / Architecture. He uses free Textures from CGTextures HERE; http://www.cgtextures.com/

I have CGTextures. I sugggest you create a Custom Library for eg; all doors etc first, by Importing them into individual iClone New Projects, cutting-out the bits you don't want etc; via the Texture UV Settings.    

IMO, you can build what you like using his Tut, by adding more floors, walls, windows, doors etc from Architecture & CGTextures, using the Scale Gizmo etc..

Stop by the Wiki - there are tons of tutorials and lots of information.

Cathy :hehe:

Just click on the graphic to go there.

There are a few free models in the iclone Marketplace that may be of use to you.

Cheers,

I have just the thing for you! :D

The Dingy Room Tutorial by SmallW Studios. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0GQXwKXvMc&feature=related

It will give you the whole schmear. A step by step on how to build, light, and furnish, a set like you described. (Use you 'wall' and 'floor props' and add the appropriate textures to them.) 

Textures? I'll let someone else handle that one. I'm pretty sure there are some free ones out there but I don't have the information. Google images might help you connect. Icone5 has a decent library as well. It may serve your needs.

Hope this helps.

:cool: Pete

Oops sorry. :rolleyes: I didn't recognise the link as I didn't know SmallW studios was Mark. However it can't hurt putting it up twice as it's an extremely informative vid. :)

Did someone mention my name?:D

That's a pretty old tute but hopefully it can give you some ideas. The textures mostly came from CGtextures.com I think... and photos I have shot through the years to create textures maps with.

Thanks for the plug folks ;) There''ll be a little something in your next check :P:P:P
