Create Animation-ready Props
Select & Group Objects
Separate objects, edit model hierarchy, build parent-child model relation, rename objects, exclude unwanted parts, turn on/off a selected tree, or output selected objects for further animation control.
Gizmo for Pivot Setting
Select any object in a model and set a custom pivot point that controls the object rotation behavior. One simple click sets the pivot point to the object's center. Now you can enjoy precision pivot adjustments & rotation previews with 3DXchange5.
Reset Transform & Alignment
Once you have a model tweaked with your edits including model resizing, rotation and location change; Zero Transformation can reset the transform values to let your new model shape become 0,0,0 or a base value. This makes newly created content much easier to control from a simple numerical base value.
iProp Motion Preview & Collect Clips
Create animation segments using timeline in-and-out marks, and convert them into iMotion data. Created motion clips will also appear in the right-click perform menu for iClone interactive playback. In 3DXchange5, you will be able to re-arrange your perform lists and live preview for easy animation.
