iClone dancing videos flooded the internet and YouTube. More than other motions by a long shot so, in hindsight, the inevitable happened. Reallusion also supplied Dancing motions. This wasn't supposed to be an animation package so much as a make your avatar move around kind of thing. There were no free cameras then, just fixed, or animated shots provided by Reallusion. Within a few minutes, I was tinkering with the Bond character using supplied motions and cameras. On one of my first attempts I was working on a James Bond project and for some reason, I put Roger Moore's face on an iClone body and it was instantly recognizable. In Poser, you could import the photo but the shape of the face never quite worked and required a lot of tweaking. It had a very simple photo to face mapping feature that was much easier to use than Poser's attempt because it did a decent job of face shaping. At the time, this seemed to the hot ticket item. It was supposed to be an application that allowed almost anyone to animate their online avatar. When iClone burst into the world it had a bit of an identity crisis.
