Summary: 3D character creation and animation continues to gain in popularity with film-making such as Shrek, Ice Age, and Over the Hedge; and ever increasing realistic graphics in video games for computer, X-Box 360, Playstation 2, and Game Cube attain a “real life” feel in “Medal of Honor” and even in such fantasy games as “Halo” and “Resident Evil”. Reallusion Inc has created an incredible and easy to use animation program, called iClone, for beginning and veteran animation artists and filmmakers.
