a satirical short
Hi, A glorious comeback of a satirical short I made eight years ago! With a bit of help from generative AI, I managed to resurrect it in just two days — and for the modest price of thirty euros. I even added English subtitles… though I didn’t bother explaining the 2017 French political jokes. Some mysteries are better left untranslated.

@Alan Searle Totally agree, Alan — finding the perfect balance is like chasing a unicorn. If there were a simple and fair solution, the whole world would’ve jumped on it already! Best regards, Michel
Recommend laptop
What laptop would you recommend for IClone? Not the minimum, but something which will optimize the productivity. Thank you!

@Drew McKenna Instead of upgrading my computer, I tried using Vagon, a cloud platform that lets you rent a virtual machine with the latest NVIDIA GPUs on demand. Unfortunately, every new session consumes one of the limited installation activations for both iClone and Character Creator, which each only allow 10 activations in total. I stopped using it after realizing I was already down to five remaining. According to Vagon, the Team option offers centralized license management, but I haven’t tested that feature yet.

@Drew McKenna I'm in a similar situation with a GeForce GTX 630 GPU. My system struggles and often crashes during rendering. Using a virtual PC hosted on Vagon solved the issue. Here’s an example of a more demanding render I completed using a virtual PC on Vagon.
Next week we will continue live calls
Hi everyone! Just letting you know that my dad is back home, and he’s getting a little bit better day by day, so I will be able to continue live classes on Fridays, hope to see you guys there!

I’m so happy to hear your dad is on the mend. You’ve been through a difficult time — take care of yourself and your father. Michel
AI Educational Insight - TRANSPARENCY
In light of Mark’s lifetime of integrity and transparency (two traits I always prioritize in people I trust) — just an FYI for anyone interested. There are a lot of AI platforms popping up right now (browse a directory like “There’s An AI For That” if you want to see the flood). Galaxy.ai is one of the better “all-in-one” places to test a wide range of image/video/audio models in one spot. But it’s worth knowing this: many of these platforms are essentially wrappers around the same underlying tools/models. This feels a lot like an early-stage bubble (think dot-com era). Over the next decade, only the most refined, reliable, and easiest-to-use platforms will really remain. How to think about Galaxy.ai (and platforms like it) Galaxy.ai looks like a safe, convenient way to: - try lots of models quickly - discover what actually fits your workflow - avoid the hassle of wiring everything together yourself - That convenience can absolutely be worth the price—especially while you’re experimenting. If you want to save money later… Once you’ve found the specific models and outputs that match your style, you can often reduce costs by either: 1. going directly to the model/tool you ended up using most, or 2. building your own custom workflow/tool (power-user route) with things like Cursor, Builder.io, or similar “build-your-own app” tools + the model APIs. That’s literally how many of these platforms are made. If Galaxy.ai is perfect for your needs, stay there. If credits start getting expensive (you are a power user or you can't figure it out), graduate to a custom setup once your workflow is proven. Example: one of our current workflows For our children’s illustrated content: - ChatGPT → lyrical structure + prompting - Suno → music - ChatGPT → image frame ideas - Midjourney → visuals/animation direction That workflow works great for us—but it’s not a “cinematic pipeline,” and it can’t fully live inside Galaxy.ai right now because Midjourney doesn’t offer a public API (as of today).

As Jared says, Galaxy.ai is very convenient to test the different services. However, I have the very clear impression that Midjourney offers fewer possibilities when I use it with Galaxy.ai than with my original subscription . Maybe I use Galaxy.ai wrong?

Okay Mark, no problem. I was saying: I live in Paris, in the 19th arrondissement. I use Cartoon Animator 5.33 and iClone 8.63 with Character Creator 5.03. I’m a retired math teacher, and animation is one of my passions, along with photography and the mountains.
