3D Chinese Painting Exhibition Screen Tests Stage 3 Animation Medieval Village

From the creator:
STAGE 3. Using Reallusions iClone v.3 Professional.
Animated Chinese Painting Exhibition in a Medieval Viollage Environment.
This is a series of panning screen tests for the scene through several different weather conditions. Snow, sun, night, mist etc.
So, now that I have this done I can concentrate on the pictures. The idea being to make the environment match the pictures… as best I can anyway.
It’s alot of fun but we will see the finished results soon.
Thanks for calling by.

3D Chinese Painting Exhibition Stage 2 Animation Medieval Village

From the creator: “A quick whistle through some of the finishing stages. TimeLapsed because in general its all polishing from this point onwards.
The set is a set that came with something like iClone v.1.5 or something. But I liked the way the dips in the land allowed the water as it appears here.
Tommorow Ill create the banners and things with the paintings on them. That should be fun.
Not sure what to do about the people. I only have a few medieval dressed types. Maybe, three?
So, I dont want to lose too much time on this, Ill see if theres a quick fix to be had using Clone Cloth for some scruffy sacking type clothes. It should be fun anyway”.

3D Chinese Painting Exhibition Animation Medieval Village

ChineseCalligraphy says, “This is an animation, or will be, of a Medieval Village in about the 10th Century. Using Realusions iClone 3 Professional this should be quite an attractive Movie suite of three..
It will be part 1, part 2 and then Part Three will be the actual Movie with talking characters and all sorts.
The main theme is to display China as being forefront in England in the 10th Century which really is kind of rewriting History a little. Should be very beautiful. I hope you enjoy it.”

Watch The Sniper here
James Martin, iClone trainer and blogger at www.iCloneTraining.com covers the release of Warlord’s, The Sniper.

The Sniper is a new Machinima film by M D McCallum that was produced with both iClone and videogame output proves to be a real 5 star film. A true Machinima mash-up movie with a deeply moving original storyline that has a masters touch to the animation. Featuring the wonderful works from the Reallusion iClone G.I. vs Wehrmacht, Medieval Village and Classic Horror Movies and other content packs.

This is a spitfire example of an industry leading iCloner and some of his best work to date. Warlord is a long time member of the iClone community and someone I personally have watched grow into his real-time skin over the last couple of years and M. D. never seems to dissapoint where iClone is concerned. A founding member of www.iCloneRevolution.com and a long time CoolCloner has placed his sights and fired a shot true into the Machinima body with this film. To those out there who may have had some question before wither iClone IS or IS NOT Machinima, I say to you, take a look at The Sniper and witness the seamless mesh of video game footage with iClone output that Warlord displays in his latest piece. Look to iClone as your film-making stage and video game footage as almost “on-location” shoots and in the end you can create a mesh of Machinima that is visually stunning. That’s what I feel M.D. McCallum has accomplished with this movie and I recommend the 15 minute viewing time to all my readers. You won’t regret it. Great film. Enjoy!
