    The level of granular control is pretty impressive with this product. I especially liked the sequence where you tinkered with the reflections in the storefront. I love that you are self taught...more proof of your wicked skillset😈

    I have to say first and foremost... Thank you so much for a clear and concise video... I have been learning Reallusions suite for the past few months, and while the videos are informative, I have been really needing this type of fully content, highlighting how to put everything together and using multiple tools and ideas to make a complete scene. this has really been great, and I look forward to your next video...

    THANK you greatly for such an excellently put together walkthrough. I am currently about to go all in on reallusion products you have iclone 8 & cc 4. I was not aware i could create an scene (set) in IC8 - I thought I had to bring all the characters into unreal engine 5 to create scenes.

    • @armondtanz
      @armondtanz Před rokem

      Looks 1000x better in unreal. I had big plans for iclone but as soon as seen unreal i was hooked.
      Its not that hard, just export fbx and you have to drop a iclone plugin into your unreal project ... Then ALL materials are taken care of. Pretty amazing.
      Good youtube guy called 'Mr H Makes'. hes great for fbx export to Unreal

    Amazing video thank you so much for that! I just stepped into Reallusion your video is my Day 1 , but am coming from Unreal Engine. Is it possible to show us how to move that scene you created completely into an unreal environment and render them through a level sequencer.

    As an owner of all these plug ins from reallusion for 7 that are supposed to make 8 great. I can say am having an issue with those plugins specifically for 7 now that 8 has come along. And when I contacted support they only talked about 8 not fixing the problem. support was included in my purchase of the plugin(within the last 2 years).
    Because iclone didnt offer mixers etc I'd purchased them from daz a yr or so ago. The poser mixer, easy pose creation, pose architect , pose builder can be found in daz, under 30.00 ea.
    blender has pose picker price varies with number of users, spacing sculptor is like curve editor in blender for $15.00. animation layers 28
    for the cc4 updates- a body mixer also under 30 in daz if you the pipelines for 7 & cc3.
    due to how much i've spent with reallusion in the last year or so; with no heads up of updates as a feature of customer service to have the best reallusion experience. I can say I'm not paying Again for things I already purchased.
    If they're doing this to existing customers I Know they look forward to squeezing new ones.
    Buyer be aware its only easy because of plug ins and You still have to learn the UI of both. Though reallusion does offer tutorials...they are Always lacking in totality.
    Blender and Daz have all these and more at a fraction of the price
    blenderCinepack + The Particle Library Bundle on sale and the mesh trailer is sweet.
    And blenders Grease pencil and all things Grease pencil ...check that out.
    This was an expensive lesson folks. I was ignorant because NO one had really talked of them in this way in the comments.
    Ignorance is expensive

    • @KeturahTori
      @KeturahTori Před rokem

      Folks need to ask themselves were these hype men given iclone 8 for free to speak highly of it. Why arent existing customers offered an inexpensive upgrade under 100.00 or free depending on what they've already spent.
      I also know folks wont say anything to let other become victims
      Weeds persist if one doesnt yank up the root..

    Reallygreat workflow..I learned a lot..jut curious...is there any particular reason why you delete your cameras instead of just creating a new camera for each scene?

    • @RichieCastellano
      @RichieCastellano  Před rokem

      Just a preference. I like dealing with one camera at a time. I’m sure I could create a new camera for each scene and get the same results.

      This is a tutorial. Of course you could spend a lot of time tweaking to get a more polished result. This was done quickly to show people how the tools work. It sounds like you might be too advanced for this, which is fine. Feel free to link that stuff you've created here and show us how it's done. Thanks!
