I wrote a review about iClone for Renderosity. iClone is a real-time animation tool that lets you easily create your 3d avatar, add voice, animation, backgrounds and lights from an easy-to-use interface. You can read the full review on the Renderosity front page. A direct link is found on my Publications page (link on the right).
Well, I finished the short film yesterday and I delivered it to the film competition thing here in my country. Wish me luck 
I am stil writing the new script and I hope to be finished by the end of the month. I will then begin doing the proof of concept things to test the “tech stuff”. As you may have guessed, Marion will be the main character of that film 
If you have visited the publications page you will see that I wrote a review on a plugin for Maya called “cgMuscle”. I became very familiar with the plugin while I was testing it and I realized it would prove very useful for my characters.
After doing some pose tests with Marion, I realized I had to get smoother deformations in some areas, so I figured I could get those deformations with muscles. The cgMuscle skin deformer is not ready yet, so making a full muscle system would not be very practical. Being said this, you will understand why I decided to create only a few muscles for her. The image below shows what I have so far
What’s so good about this system is that I will be able to simulate stuff such as breast and butt jiggle and muscle expansion, skin stretching and all that kind of “organic stuff”
