World of Warcraft Machinima crosses into new territory with iClone filmmaker, Wolfzone. Most recently Wolfzone, who’s known widely in the iClone community for excellent creation of iClone props and models, now lends his iClone animation skills to Clan SkullCrusher and the World of Warcraft. Mixing models from the World of Warcraft by importing them as 3DS files through iClone’s 3DXchange, Wolfzone merges the worlds of iClone and WoW in this trailer for clan SkullCrusher.

3D World Magazine issue #104 - Reallusion iClone and CrazyTalk are featured in an excellent story by Roy Spencer. ‘Machinima Grows Up,” is a great read that shares the perspective of pioneers like Paul Marino, Leo Lucien-Bay, Phil Rice and Hugh Hancock. 3D World covers the tools behind the Machinima movies including iClone and CrazyTalk. Dr. Nemisis aka Leo Lucien-Bay talks about his experience with CrazyTalk and the making of BEAST. There are even a couple of quotes from me [John Martin] in the piece too. ‘Machinima Grows Up,’ is a benchmark for the movement and looking ahead, the future and definition of the independent filmmaker will continue to evolve. The days of stadium rock spawning from grassroots garage bands will live once again as the home-studioed citizen directors rise from part-time filmmaker to viral video kings or film festival laureates. iClone and CrazyTalk from Reallusion will allow them to create evermore meaningful and expressive films.
