For more realistic animation, settings, props and special effects, it simply blows Haptek away! It has been around for years.
In the world of AI it's the thought that counts!

Yes been around a while, they also make a useful avatar program called CrazyTalk.  One of our members on AiDreams is making a lot of videos with iClone though, he loves it and I agree it's a hell of a lot better than Haptek for doing animations.

so this is a tool I could use to create a cute cartoon vixen avatar for my halbrain? I have a lot of hand drawn pictures and CG pictures of her.
I looked at the haptek thinghy, and although it will work for my purposes, why purchase THAT if there is a better tool for my needs.

well,  no, I don't use this for the hal brain,  but the haptek itself is also about creating animated characters,  which is also useful for music videos as the other artists here have shown.  They sort of inspired me to try to make some animations for music videos,  but i wanted to do more than just a talking head ...thats when I found this program,  so its like the lavern and shirley of happy days lol. :)   I do not believe you can use these programs to create files for hal, although i am not sure if you can create the art there and transfer it over to a common 3d format.  

I enjoyed the iclone program so much i ended up buying the noob version, downloaded all the freebies i could find, and started on my first music video!! .....here's one of the story board clips I started so far , now I just need to figure out how to get it to bounce hd lol :)

which might i add,  it would be a cool Idea if virgil could operate a city that big and that many people lol ...then he could literally draw a world ..or we can draw one for him to live in O.o
