The One Where We Let Loose Our Inner Geeks

The July 13 Wolf & Dulci Hour is now available for download here.

This week we boldly go where no icloner has gone before. We use the force. And contemplate the ramifications of 1.21 gigawatts. You guessed it - it's our Wolf & Dulci Sci Fi Special!

And as the icing on the cake to this very special show, listeners & downloaders alike have to let their inner geeks out in order to get this week's freebie content - a nifty sci fi prop sure to make you drool for fantastical adventures.

Listen to Wolf explain to me the nuances of creating a realistic looking starfield. And was he stumped this week? One of our most exciting Stump The Wolf segments yet - I could practically hear our chatroom listeners scribbling away in their notebooks as he spoke.

If this has your tastebuds watering for some sci fi fun, check out these iClone flicks:

Tonight on the Wolf &Dulci Hour....

iClone and Space....space.....space (like my cool echo effect there?)

On tonight's show one of the many many many topics we will be discussing is iClone and Science Fiction. After my appearance on the Roger & Ken Show yesterday, I feel the need to ingratiate myself even further into the sci fi subsection here on TMU. So if you've been wondering what/why/how makes iClone cool for sci fi productions - tune in tonight!

Tune in here at 9PM CST to join in the fun.

Interview/Disucssion tomorrow on TMOA

Just in case you haven't heard me babble enough of late, tomorrow I will be on the Roger & Ken Show to discuss....well, anything they ask me!

Their show starts at 1pm CST but I don't expect to be on the air until sometime after 2:30.

You can listen to the show here.

The One Where We Pompously Discuss Art - June 15th Show Download

This week we chose to focus on the use of iClone to create 3D still image renderings.

With the limited amount of time, we weren't able to focus on all the great examples that are out there, but we did take a look at the works found here:

Wicked Oz Images by Capemedia
Images by Armstrong
Alemar Historyboards
Wolfzone Digital Art
Once Upon a Time Images by Wireframe Animations
Still renders by Animatechnica

We also discussed the fun to be had in creating imagery to coincide with poetry:

A good opportunity to explore poetry & moviemaking is in Blue's Poetry Animation Contest.


The super duper uber freebie was announced, and those who send the super duper uber passphrase to wolfzone@wolfzone.org can receive their own personal copy of the bookcase and books.


And don't forget to listen to the lovely song I made for Wolf in the intro of the show, followed by EmeraldEdge's rendition of Feed My Frankenstein in the break.

The show can be downloaded here.

See y'all next week!

Don't miss iClone Radio Tonight

You won't want to miss the first five minutes or so at least - I confess to really really really enjoying myself with a little song for the intro of the show.

Not enticing enough reason? We're going to be discussing the use of iClone as an art form; specifically, in creating 3D still images and poetry renderings.

Hopefully I didn't lose my voice screaming into the microphone all afternoon doing the song....

The One Where We Chastise Listeners - June 8 Show Download

The June 8th Wolf & Dulci Hour is now available for download here.

In it, we discuss the results of the 3d Building Block Competition. The gorgeous ethereal castle by Gizmo was the grand prize winner. Pretty impressive, isn't it?


We also discussed The Panffarrounic Call 3D by MiGorjao, Galaxy at War by Chris62 and CT Test by MarvellousGuppi.

Of course, I grilled Wolf a bit about the teaser just released for Strife, which the CoolCreators promise to have ready for release in August.

We talked a bit about CloneCloth3 and the other clothing options available to iCloners.

And, in the midst of all that, we managed to toss in a Stump the Wolf! question, an exclusive Wolf & Dulci content freebie, a fun commercial break with user-created commercials, and have a general old jolly good time.

Thanks as always to our hardcore chatroom crew and our behind-the-scenes puppet master Ken, and our apologizes to those who live in timezones that don't make catching the show optimal.

On Monday's show, we will be discussing CloneCloth3 and the other options available, as well as a movie that has taken most of us by storm - The Panffarrounic Call 3D by MiGorjao.

Some of the topics discussed this week (after the intro which included new fitness tips, including how to breathe like the big bad wolf and do bicep curls like little red riding hood):

• Recent iclone releases:

Pinhead: In The S*** From: afterThought

A fabulous movie by a first-time 3D director. This was for entry into the Pinhead competition, and has been applauded by many viewers.



Angels v Demons From: capemedia

A highly anticipated release that lived up to its expectations. So many details in this short that it takes multiple viewings to appreciate all of them!

• My new status as an iclone poweruser!!! (believe me, I say that tongue-in-cheek and not without a huge amount of gratitude for the post about our show)
  
• Using the 3d warehouse in conjunction with 3dxchange
• Our tip - always check the 3d warehouse before making any content purchases
• Browsing the Reallusion content store
• Browsing fansite content stores - including the site with some of Wolf's goodies - CoolCreators Content Store
• Available freebies - many to be found at CoolClones once you are a registered member
• Stump The Wolf! - Wolf's summary of the question - Adjusting Animations After the Fact - can be found here (you'll need to register to the site to read it)
• Exclusive Wolf & Dulci Hour freebie content for our listeners - this week, a parking lot set. Listen to the download to learn how you can receive it as well!

Thanks again for listening - although I suspect we would still do this even if no one did, it sure makes it more fun to know other people can hear me finally get something over on Wolf (can't guarantee that happens every show but I sure do my best!)....

5 hours til showtime - set your watches!

Tonight's Wolf & Dulci hour looks to be an active one.

Wolf & I were just chatting about how we suddenly exploded with material we want to discuss this evening.

In addition to the start of our new "I bought iClone, now what?" series, we will be chatting about two movies that were released this weekend - fantastic movies I might add. But more of my flamboyant ravings to come live on air tonight.

Also be sure to listen for the "super, secret download code" for your exclusive Wolf & Dulci freebie content - which for tonight's show will be a parking lot prop/set for use in iClone.

I confess to laughing more than usual when putting together the intro for the show, and I think you'll understand why when you hear it. Excuse me a second while I get my giggle fit out of the way now....

And as always we have a Stump the Wolf! question lined up. The general consensus is that he was half-stumped last week, so I suspect he'll be that much more anxious to give us proper information.

And hey, our promo video promises general frivolity, so what more could you ask for in 1 hour?

Listen live and join the chat room by clicking here at the appropriate time (9pm-10pm CST).

Projects, projects & more projects

Maybe if I itemize what I've got going on I'll be able to organize myself:

1) "Mystery Movie" Got a FANTASTIC script from a gifted writer that I'm trying to do justice to. Most of the harder work is done - all the voiceover lines are back in from the actors, I've got sound effects, music, actors created in iclone. It's just the special effects on this one that are holding me back a little from really diving in. I don't want to let the writer down - I want to WOW him as he sees what he wrote come to life ala-Dulci-Vision. The longer I put it off the more I suspect he thinks I'm not interested in doing it, when in actuality, it's my intense interest that's holding me back...gotta love circular logic. Comes so naturally to me too!

2) My entry for the Reallusion War & Peace competition with iclone. I've got the script mostly written, although it was originally meant to be a narration and now I'm debating casting a male character as well. My lines are done (assuming it stays a narration). I have a definite vision for this one. Right now I'm stuck at finding the perfect look for the character. I thought I had a good face to work off of but it's just not doing it for me.

3) Gotta record lines for someone else. I think I'll be able to finish that up today - it's a good script but it's also short.

4) There's two movies I recently did lines for that haven't been released yet. I'm dying to see them!!!!

5) Just got cast for another role by a director I am flattered thought of me. He's still working on finalizing the script so I think it will be a while before I get my lines, but that's not holding me back from being excited.

6) I really want to do a promo video for the Industry 101 Show. These guys put themselves out there on their weekly radio show (downloads available here) and in an ongoing help thread here.

7) I need to really delve into my script for Dune viewed from Chani's perspective. Either you know what I'm talking about or you don't (although if you do, you just got +100 Dulci Thinks You're Cool Points)

8) Need to return to and finish up my script for a movie that considers an alternate Garden of Eden.

9) Need to return to and finish up a script I've been working on with Jase called tenatively "Game of the Gods".

10) I think that's it!
