After months of intensive work and sharing, Reallusion and Polycount have announced that the iClone 2016 3D Character Design Contest has finally come to an end with dozens of incredible character entries that have helped rewrite the 3D character design rules.
3D character design has proven to be one of the most challenging tasks for 3D artists, as creating fully animatable 3D characters often requires a multi-disciplinary team. To address this Reallusion provided contestants with the iClone Character Creator tool. This is one of the most versatile 3D character solutions that has changed the character design workflow through a creation system that includes fast avatar slider morphing, free-to-dress capabilities, fully rigged face and body animation, along with multiple accessory usage for unlimited possibilities in one free, easy to use application.
John Martin, Vice President Reallusion, stated “This year’s competition has been amazing. Creating 3D animatable characters can be a huge challenge however in providing entrants with pre-rigged, universal morph-ready quad avatar designs; we have got some fantastic results. Reallusion extends massive congratulations to the Best 3D Character First Prize winner Lilia Vorontsova and all those who entered this year’s competition and a big thank you to all our partners and sponsors.”
