RGCA "The Jungle Girl Adventures" smallWstudio

smallWstudio

I'm going to try and revive an old character I've been working on in iClone off and on for a few years. Hope to show how she developed and try out some new scenario ideas that would work in a game environment.
Here's an old "Proof of Concept" animation from 2012. I had to change her name... I didn't know there already was a "Jana of the Jungle" LOL!!

Jana was, in fact, the name of the iClone avatar that I was using for the character ...

Nice vid. Looks like you're already done. Should be easy to re-purpose this rather than starting from scratch.

smallWstudio

Thanks! I really need to push it a bit more and come up with some more ideas for adventures... so we'll see.

A brief into to the iClone avatar I used for "The Jungle Girl"...

Looking good Mark

smallWstudio

Thanks bud!! Kinda weird posting in another forum!!!:poly105:

A very basic method for doing a horse and rider in iClone. Once again this method should work in the new iClone 6 Pro. Here I'm using iClone 5 Pro...

Here's an old tutorial when I was still using the name "Jana the Jungle Girl" for my character. This will give you an idea of how to go about building a "set" in iClone. Also some "cut-scene" ideas for adventures...

Can't do tutorial vids so I'm just posting images.

smallWstudio

Well it's obvious I can't do 'em either but that hasn't stopped me!!!LOL

Onizuka_Eikichi

Excellent tutorials! I expect nothing less from a Certified Reallusion Trainer.
Warlord joining? You guys are going to make us cry.

smallWstudio

Ha,Ha you're very kind but Warlord is the expert as far as I'm concerned!! I'm just pokin' around the edges!!!LOL

c0hlera

Nice. I like the tutorial, learned a few new things and got to see how`s the software interface a bit :thumbup:

smallWstudio

Thanks! But remember this is the old iClone 5 Pro. The new iClone 6 Pro has a much different interface which many folks like much better and in many ways it is better. Most of iC5 features have translated to the iC6 but not all just yet. At this point iClone 6 runs a bit slower on my older computer workstation so since this character was started on the older software I figured I would just stay with it for now.

smallWstudio

A little bit of the work in progress....

Excellent tutorail!

direx

I love your tutorials. And in this particular one I did learn something I always missed. The "lock" feature works not only for hand and feets!!!! My god. Why I always miss that ...???

Thanx, Direx

smallWstudio

Thanks! But I really can't believe I can show you guys anything you don't already know LOL!!!:poly136:

smallWstudio

A little bit more "Work in Progress"...

One of the masters of iClone, really enjoy your tutorials so insightful. Thanks

Wolfzone Digital

Your tut's are always so helpful Mark.

Wungun

Well done Sir well done!

Another day, another set to layout ...

Awesome as always Mark. You always come up with great ways to do things, which I can steal LOL

Thank you for this walk through !

smallWstudio

Here's a peek into the layout in SONY Vegas...

direx

This video editing tool seem to be good. I think I will take a look. As I recall it's not so expensive ...
Thanx for the inside clip. I love the thing you do, especially the scene with the net. that looks very convincing ...

Direx

windtalker

amazing job and very useful walktrough!

smallWstudio

Yes Vegas is a pretty good NLE. It's not perfect but I like to think of it as the "Swiss-Army-Knife" of NLE's. They have a version that is bundled with HitFilm that makes a pretty amazing combination!

ThePoetTrees

Love Vegas, but just beware that their latest version is not yet compatible with R3D files, so if your work also includes footage from top-o-the-line "RED" cameras (REDScarlet, REDDragon etc), then you need to contact sony for their *previous* version... which handles the R3D files directly, and efficiently, without needing to be pro-res'd as it does with FCP and PremierPro.

smallWstudio

I can go all the way back to version 4 of Vegas and all in between and have CS6 so maybe no problem:poly124:

smallWstudio

This is pretty much it... for what it's worth....

smallWstudio

Oh!... and in case the forum moderator is watchin' I filled out the "Submit Form" but it acted a little weird as I was submitting it. Was hoping we could get some kind of confirmation that it went through??

ThePoetTrees

Your work is always so inspiring!!... Fair warning: after this comp is over, I'm gonna have to corner you in a dark n dingy forum of iclone somewhere and pick your brains bare on a few things... especially that cool spooky diffuse layer for the water. I've tried several times for another project (outside the comp) but the best I can manage is lava and gravy, hahaha

Capemedia

Outstanding work here Mark well done

smallWstudio

Thanks guys! As I said... it is what it is. Certainly don't expect to win anything the competition around is is WAY to stiff that's for sure!!!! But it was fun. May try another entry since we got more time...

And Bleetz love to hear from ya! But as for.. brains to pick...there ain't much!!!:poly142:

direx

I love it. It's so much fun to watch those scenes. You got the rare talent to tell stories without any words. I like that ...
There are some animation which could be more polished, like the horse riding. There is no movement in the upper body of jungle girl. That really distracted me. But this is complaining on a high level ...

Thanx for another jungle girl adventure ...

Wungun

Man i wish i was this good. This was awesome!

smallWstudio

Thanks guys! Yeah I'm really bad with the "details". I'm afraid I'm just a "rough-it-in" kinda guy!!!:poly136: You guys got the polish that's for sure!!!!:thumbup:

Onizuka_Eikichi

Congrats on the finish!
Thanks for all the tutorials you've put up on youtube btw.
I learned a lot from you since picking up Iclone this year.

smallWstudio

Thanks! Glad they helped. Of course there are a lot of tutes out there and many much better than mine...but I do have fun sharing what little I really know!!!

animagical

Mark, very enjoyable. I always like the way you use the camera. I hope to get there on day.

AndrePeisker

Sorry, i haven't see that your entry is finish. Really cool!
My favorite Scene is "Fountain of the Skull"! Well done

Great work pipeline and explanations. Thank you.
