A Year of iClone – the beginnings


Written by contributing author, LilacBoy, of www.mellor-media.com

When Reallusion first mentioned that they were due to release a ‘new’ 3d character programme called Cyclone, I was gutted, almost sad. I’d been working on a few animation projects with another of their products named ‘It’s Me’ (which later became, "iClone"). This programme was cool, easy and really, really cheap. ‘Wow, this sounds like fun’, I initially thought, as I read the product description. I’d always wanted to produce a few ‘cartoons’, as I’m from the generation that sat glued in front of the T.V. watching the likes of ‘Tom & Jerry’, ‘Bugs Bunny’, ‘Daffy Duck’ and ‘Captain Pugwash’ , Reallusion’s little gem, "It’s Me", had finally help release the creative side of my imagination and was refreshing the parts that other beers couldn’t reach.
The young people who came to us from the school quickly engaged with the
Reallusion software, and occasionally I saw a few of them break into a smile. It may have just been wind, but the smiles were nice to see anyway. …..
