Gabe Achanzar
- On iClone:"I consider myself
an aspiring digital artist, more of a hobbyist really,
squeezing time in between the family, and the weekend
soccer games. Before discovering iClone, I dabbled in
video editing, animation and 3D modeling. Oftentimes,
the steep learning curve and long setup times of these
other applications took away from the experience. iClone
hit the right nerve, delivering a great combination of
ease of use, great quality and best of all a flexible
and intuitive tool. Within the first hour of using iClone
I was able to put together animations that would have
taken much longer in other programs. iClone allowed me
to get ideas converted to animation fairly quickly and
inspired me to design custom textures. It is really exciting
to see some of my designs in other people's works. "
