Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

With dynamic texture, iClone users will be able to apply different Substance effects to the same object to achieve a detailed hybrid material consisting of a combination of properties. 

Previously, creating a detailed texture for any 3D object in your scene meant customized painting for various texture maps, which are often difficult and time-consuming to create from scratch. However, with the new Substance Dynamic Texture feature, it's easy to turn any geometric shape into a natural-looking object by giving it a dynamic texture surface.

Reallusion’s iClone Helps Pull Together Indie Feature "Plato’s Reality Machine" - NYC Production & Post News

Reallusion’s iClone Helps Pull Together Indie Feature "Plato’s Reality Machine" - NYC Production & Post News | Machinimania | Scoop.it
Director-writer Myles Sorensen used Reallusion's iClone to create an old-style game within the narrative.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

With a budget that Sorensen estimates at around $60,000, you don’t script too many live action sequences that could quickly move your budget out of reach. But what if you created a lead actor who obsessed over a first person shooter video game, and show it full screen throughout the movie? Suddenly, you have more options.
