If you have a production project coming up, iclone2 is a necessity. It’s the best 3D animation program I’ve seen. The ease of use is also a tremendous plus with iclone2.When reviewing iclone2 I was very impressed. The higher level of realism is awesome. The higher level allows for greater creativity instead of worrying about the technical stuff.
The live Plants module is realistic and allows for 360 degree views. Plus the ability to add particle effects is superb. The new iclone2 allows you to add the weather you want. For instance, you want a dark, foggy night, you can make it happen. Plus add fire, smoke, rain, or whatever your scene requires. The natural scenery is genius with a wide range of lighting effects, props and accessories. Add-ons are already available with 10 new scenes for the Live Plants module. These 10 new scenes allow your creativity and imagination to run wild. You won’t feel limited to create the scene you want.
Another great addition is the ability to customisze faces. You might think you’d never be able to do it but the onscreen wizard walks you through everything, making it a breeze to use. Clothing is another great asset to this edition. If you don’t like the clothing change it to meet your needs. The fashionable clothing is an outstanding asset to the program. The ability to add realistic, 3D animated characters to your production is a nice addition.
Want your voice in your production, just add it. Record your own voice or load a WAV speech file. Iclone2 will add the lip movements based on your recording. Want to give your character attitude? That’s not a problem because emotions can be added by iclone by adjusting movements of the face. There’s also around 100 presets to animate the avatars.
In my opinion, iclone2 is top of the line in graphics, animation, ability to be creative, and scenery. No matter what kind of production project you plan to use iclone2 for, it will definitely make your project faster and easier. Don’t forget to download the free demo to give it a try. I’m sure you’ll be buying it immediately.
The program is available for Windows PCs only, and requires Vista, XP, ME or 2000, as well as at least a Pentium III and 256MB RAM and 1GB of hard disk space. It also needs a 3D graphics cards with at least 32MB video memory and support for DirectX 8.1. I used what you would say average computer that doesn’t have alot of fancy things in it and the program works like a charm.
