A gallery of COVID-19 themed art

The animation Stay Home Safe & Create  created for the Reallusion COVID-19 CARE Program is an example of what’s possible to accomplish with the company’s software. It was created by 3rd World Studios, a 3D animation studio in Islamabad, Pakistan. Producers of the Unreal Engine-animated feature film “Allahyar and the Legend of Markhor”, winners of multiple awards, and an Unreal Dev Grant, 3rd World Studios created this COVID-19 PSA in record time by using iClone 7  for animation, editing and face mocap, Unreal Engine 4 (rendering), Xsens (body mocap), and Manus (hand mocap).

Reallusion has also shared a gallery of COVID-19 themed art from users around the world, to help other users get inspired by home studio creations and see how big things can come from small spaces. For those starting to explore the world of animation, Reallusion has a series of free online resources with tutorial videos for all its products, including iClone Master Class, Character Creator Master Class and iClone Plugin (Python). Webinars, forums and an active supporting system help is also available online.
