![]() iClone 8 and Character Creator 4 were released and literally addressed all of the issues I was having. I was getting things done, but I was frequently tripping over these stumbling blocks and it was costing me a lot of time. ![]() ![]() The main sticking points for me were linking together motion capture clips, walking in general, having characters touch things, reflective surfaces, stiff looking character expressions and having to constantly revert to earlier saves after butchering my motion layers. Things were slow going, but I was making progress. With production on my sci-fi musical underway, I was really getting a handle on iClone 7 and Character Creator 3. ![]() I also used iClone to create a few Blue Öyster Cult live DVD menu animations. As part of the music video for the song Box In My Head, I used iClone to create a trippy sequence in which the band performs inside one of the album covers from the 70’s. In 2020, Blue Öyster Cult released a new album, The Symbol Remains. While getting familiar with these tools, I had a few opportunities to use what I’d been learning on some other projects. When I saw that iClone and Character Creator could give a non 3D artist like me the opportunity to tell stories without the daunting barrier to entry, I saw the path to completing this massive project. The 3D animation learning curve was far too steep. Before I learned about iClone and Character Creator, I had totally dismissed the idea of trying to produce this musical as an animated feature. I’m in the middle of producing an animated sci-fi musical that has pretty much been built around what Reallusion’s tools have allowed me to do. I’ve been using iClone and Character Creator for several years. I’m a YouTuber with over 30 million views and I’m a member of the classic rock band, Blue Öyster Cult. I’m a New York based producer and musician.
