well done, buuuut something gave it out.

at the end, the chopper's blades are in front of the guy's face; you should mask it out.

Hey mickcar73 -- This non-commercial version of Icarus is free:

Icarus PC: http://www.peerlessproductions.com/tuts ... arusPC.zip

Icarus Mac: http://www.peerlessproductions.com/tuts ... Icarus.zip

But watch these to get a sense of how you use it: (Watch at least tutorials 1 & 2)
If you're not using Blender or AE you can skip some of the tutorials... Some of the videos are very big... here:

Hope this helps,

No problem :D Tell me how that works.. If you have any problems, I might be able to help... but, I haven't used Icarus too much, so it might be best to figure out by trial and error.. hopefully the videos helped a little.

I used Icarus a few times if you follow those video tutorials that SE7 gave you,youll have no probs at all.It is very simple to use the only problem is that it takes a LOOOOOONG-a** tme to match everything so it will lag your PC.
