N-aEEXUS II – “Echoes from the Past” Sci-fi Short Film

Yaaay!! I finally completed it!!! This is the Second Chapter of N-aEEXUS. I wrote, directed and Animated the short film as a one-man team. I played the part of the Commander as a Voice actor and a Motion capture actor, my wife lent her voice to the female characters in the film (Thank you, Sweetheart!!). A Special thanks to the Reallusion team for their awesome technical and software support plus Iray guidance. Thank you to Andreas Muskola for the “move that camera” python script.

In this 2nd Film, I wanted to challenge myself to see if I could render the full short film in Iray and animate all of it using iClone. I used a similar workflow to how I created N-aEEXUS 1, with Character Creator 3, iClone, but switched the rendering to Iray instead of Octane and Redshift. I hope this inspires other indie filmmakers like myself to pursue their storytelling dreams by creating short films with iClone and Iray.
