If you are wondering Groucho is a game character but he is having a day off ! having a drink, relaxing, chewing the fat!! :-)
Here is my 3rd effort an animation of the Monster Groucho. One of the best areas of animation in iClone is the facial animation and lip-sync and with the Avatar Controller you can get some really cool results.
WATCH THIS SPACE MORE VERY SOON

To animate Groucho, I used motion puppet, Direct puppet, motion layer and then I got onto the facial animation layers and used create a script and layers of Avatar Controller.
A nice little thing they have in iClone is the Camera switching, as you can see in the above picture there are 3 cameras and using the timeline we can switch to any of the cameras on the timeline. This gives a nice polished look to the scene.
The stage was created using objects that came with iClone 6 ...makes for a nice setting for Groucho to tell his Tall Tales.
Next stage was to add nice lighting to the stage...which brings out the whole scene.
The rendering took a while to complete I created 2 scenes one of Groucho standing and another with Groucho sitting at the bar, with a rather funny bar monster ! I usually split my renderings up into scenes giving the computer and me a brake between renderings.
