Hi, folks.
I know I don't post here much, but here's some of what I've been doing over the past couple of weeks....most especially in the last three or four nights.
I've been working with the most amazing, cost effective, and robust 3D animation software for the price. It's called iClone 3.2 PRO, and it's from Reallusion. I just bought it last month, and have been working with it building characters, costumes and props, and over the last couple of weeks, have been learning the animation interface.
I've thus far created costumes for Starbuck, Col./Commander Apollo, female Colonial warrior, and in the last few days created both Chromium and Command Gold Cylon Centurions. In that same time, I've also created a Colonial Viper, a launch tube, a blaster range, and the equipment for the Cylons.
That oughtta give you an idea of just how easy this application is. It's not perfect, but it's FAR better than I expected.
Here's some YouTubes that I've posted in the last few days, using many of the assets I've thus far created:
Viper fly by....no audio:

Viper launch, multiple angles with audio:

And Starbuck on the firing range:

(I did both voices....sorry if my Dirk Benedict impression isn't up to snuff)
Anyhoo, I am simply stunned at just what I can get out of this application. This means I will now be able to make a movie version of Dark Exodus (my Battlestar Galactica fanfiction continuation story) a reality.
I hope you enjoy watching these as much as I enjoyed making them.
Submitted for your approval,
