Creativebloq: iClone Unreal Live Link is an Animation Game-changer

Every good film relies on well-written characters to convey the essence of the story. But in an animated feature, good writing doesn’t guarantee success. Everything depends on character animation. And character animation used to cost a lot of money.

This was the problem I faced when planning animated film noir and video game The Chest with my production company Rendered Frames (watch the trailer below). 10 or 15 years ago, only the bigger studios could produce good-quality animation; it was a challenge for indie animators to find the budget and the staff they needed.

But this has changed in the past few years. More and more companies have realised the opportunities presented by solo artists and small studios, and the new generation of animation software they have created has opened up new horizons for ambitious freelance teams.

Learn how to create fully-rigged digital doubles from a single photo with the new Headshot Plug-in !

Reallusion’s  Headshot Plug-in for Character Creator  is a unique approach to real-time character head modelling which combines automatic AI based photo alignment with morph-based manual alignment and texture re-projection. Used in tandem with an image editor such as Photoshop, it can be used to produce highly realistic, animation ready models in a fraction of the time involved when making rigged models from scratch using conventional sculpture, scans or photogrammetry. You can download a free trial  here.

In this article, Mike describes his workflow of using  Character Creator  and  Headshot  to produce a high quality animated model from a single photo. Compressed from 3 hours of continuous footage, whilst the video is not a tutorial, it demonstrates a professional’s approach to high quality model creation, with many tips for Headshot artists along the way.

Experienced Video Director/Animator – Benny Dee shares a detailed tutorial on how to develop dynamic atmosphere with lightening and physics in real-time in  iClone 7.

Hello. In this iClone tutorial, I will show you how to develop a dynamic atmosphere with lightning and physics in real-time. This is part of the iClone Master Class series to help iClone users improve and level up their skills.

To begin, we have our scene opened in iClone and we see that the shadows are dark. (Fig 1.0) That is because I deactivated the atmosphere features. Therefore, we are going to turn them on to brighten up the project.

Speed up Action Sequence Creation in Animation

2 Comments

Hi I’m Adolf Navarro, and this time I want to show you how one single person can create very cool action sequences in a short period of time using iClone and the characters and models of Reallusion’s Content Store.

The main advantage of Reallusion animation applications is that they are extremely easy to learn and use, so the animation process becomes very intuitive and fast, all the same, the final result can be pretty cool even getting a nice cinematic aspect just using few filters in the video editing phase. Almost no post production or compositing are needed.
