"We currently use iClone to create machinima captured scenarios as well as talking avatars to help users along the way in our training simulation programs. We use these programs for military, government, and law enforcement projects. With the release of WidgetCastPRO we could create avatars to have a more immersive impact for the trainee and maybe even be more entertaining along the way. Since it is a Flash authoring tool we can apply it to our distant learning efforts so it is important to have the user be engaged completely. I can see WidgetCast expanding our toolbox to create powerful, more effective avatars in our projects."

"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. "
