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
