Sculpting using FORGER with an iPad Pro & Apple Pencil ~ Concept Ape

This is a quick Sculpting Session using FORGER, a 3D Sculpting app for the iPad Pro, using an Apple Pencil. Currently only available on iOS, no Android version yet. This is a great sculpting app to take with you on the road, with no need for a computer. This app is similar to Nomad, but with less zbrush-like features, still very capable, and as you can see from my video, you can do detailed sculpts. I will continue to share more insight as I create more 3D sculptures with it. Check out the Video below:

Creating an Animated Short Film in Unreal Engine ~ Character Creator3, iClone and UE4 Workflow

I am making good progress on my journey to harnessing Unreal as a Film Making tool, together with iClone and Character Creator 3. The iClone Live link plugin for Unreal, has really opened up the possibilities of getting my iClone animations into UE for rendering. I am getting 39 frames per minute with realtime rendering at 1920×1080!! It’s incredible. I will continue to share more as I dig deeper into the Unreal Studio Engine as a storytelling and film making tool. Thank you so much Reallusion and Epicgames !! Check out the Video below:

iPhone X Facial Mocap with FaceMotion ~ Performance Capture Acting and Practice

Napoleon Facial Motion Capture ~ This is a quick voice acting session I did with the dialogue of Napoleon, inspired by Napoleon: Total War Trailer, a video I saw about 9 years ago, that was created using Faceware. In this Second test with Face Motion (Formerly Face Mojo), I used this session to practice acting as Napoleon using an iPhone X in DAZ 3D. I rendered this scene entirely in DAZ Studio using Iray. It’s amazing how great the quality is that I am able to get from this plugin, without any editing.
