Real-time 3D LIVE - Mocap Enhancement in iClone v5.1

In this first episode of 2012, we are excited to announce the release of iClone 5.1, and along with it a whole ton of really important improvements to your 3D animating experience. After that, the huge upgrades to the physics engine give you more power to create and customize a whole new breed of physics props. On the topic of physics, we're going to be releasing a brand spanking new physics gear pack as well that will allow you to assemble your own physics props from various components and control them with your own custom UI. We've also released our first Training DVD for iClone 5, complete with a whole ton of tutorials, as well as some exclusive tutorials available from some of our veteran certified iClone trainers.

FREEBIE: Also, learn how to win your free copy of Forsaken Town content pack by simply subscribing to this channel, liking the video and telling us what's the coolest usage you can think of for the brand new physics gear pack? We will select 3 lucky winners to get this content pack before 2/3.

My immediate thought of how to use these physics gear pack was in designing devious traps. Anything from "Saw"-like contraptions, "Rambo" man traps, to "Indiana Jones" lethal temple constructs. The potential is just staggering, as well as the inspiration. I'm going to start filming now (well, maybe after I finally decide on a set theme LOL).

Just awesome. I could see making realistic collapsing buildings with that new engine. What a great program!

[yoonsinhee]

wow, that's so cool!

[maurojo1]

This Physics gear pack will solve our most irritating problems of having to do long and complicated animations on vehicles like rotating tires,Ferris wheels,and/or crane picking construction materials. It looks like an essential problem solver to animations easier and faster.

Finally the chance to get machines working like in real life. Can't wait for the pack.

omg, it's the guy speaking the tutorials

[boundless]

While the gear pack look extremely cool, my brain goes into overwhelm just looking at the video! :) Looking forward to some tutorials on the physics constraints!

The new Physics Gears pack has massive potential to build almost any working model. For me I can see this in use across most genre's from Sci-Fi to Horror, creating buildings, vehicles and machines. For me just to have this pack will allow me to solve some of the animation issues I come up against when using iClone 5.

The new physics constraints are going to help enormously with a train model for an upcoming stunt pre-viz while the new physics pack will improve custom vehicles.

What's the best way to go about assembling the mo-cap set-up? Buy all the equipment separately? Do Microsoft have an official PC adapter? I really should be asking this on the forums, shouldn't I?

I am looking forward to being able to building some of the robotics for an science fiction aliens animation I plan to finish by February of 2013. I have been working (struggling) with some of the things I have wanted to build for the locations. So, am very excited of these new additions and the dedication that Reallusion has been doing to make things better and easier too. Kudos to everyone who has been asking for improvements and to those who have made them come true.

A great use for the gear pack would be to build an extremely awesome mech with level 4 nuclear positron ultra-radio active beam cannons, a hydro-flux anti-dissimilation multidimensional quantum hyper drive, and cup holders.
