Using Smooth Tool for Creating 3D Characters in iClone

Video Transcript

"On behalf of expervillage.com this is Paul Louis and I’d like to welcome you to how to create a 3D animated character in the program known as iClone, enjoy. If you look over here you’ll see that there are areas of his cheeks that this will overlap, so let’s say his hair was not moved out of the way, you turn to the side you’ll see you have that you don’t want that so you want to cover the sides of his face as well, you’ll notice it’s cleaning up his face in the left window quiet a bit. After you’ve done that you want to take your smooth tool, I like to bring the brush out a little wide on this and you want to start clicking around and just smoothing out these areas here just to make it blend in with the rest of the face a lot nicer, make it look a lot more natural. What I also like to do is we zoom in right up here, I like to then take that same smooth tool, bring the brush a little smaller in size, I’m going to start dabbing the middle part of his mouth because I noticed that his mouth was slightly open so I want to blend his two lips together to get the impression that his mouth is completely closed. Then what I like to do is I’d like to use the smooth tool and do that around the eyes."
