Import and Convert 3D Files into iClone

• New! Load and convert 3DS, OBJ, SKP files into iClone VNS format.
• New! Edit models between 3DXchange and SketchUp smoothly.
• Build up a massive iClone model library from professional 3D models - scenes, props, and accessories.
• Load iClone VNS files for material editing, pivot setting, or edit iClone VNS Merged Props.
• Full texture conversion keeping materials intact - unwrapped UV, multi sub-material texturing, diffuse, bump, and opacity.
• Texture format supported: JPG, BMP, PNG, TGA, TIFF.
• Support 3DS animation data import and export (spline not supported).
• Selectable export for breaking up model groups: check on/off mesh nodes in Scene Tree to filter output elements.

Transformation, Material Editing and Attribute Setting

• New! Material attribute editing provides more material flexibility (Opacity and Self-illumination) .
• New! The enhancement of auto smooth and weld vertex for SKP 3D objects.
• Material Editing: material color, glossiness, specular (how shiny the material appears, eg. plastic, metal, or glass).
• Normal Correction: 2-sided, flip, unify.
• iClone Shadow Attribute Setting: Cast Shadow, Receive Shadow.
• Scene Transformation: Rotation, Translation, Scaling.
• Quick Align to Scene Root: Auto-align scene elements to iClone root ground position.
• Edge Smoothness: define hard or soft edge by specified angle threshold.
• Pivot Setting: set pivot for rotation in iClone, eg. door - rotate based on edge, wheels - rotate based on center.

Ease-of-use Design

• New! Add an Exporting Selected node function to save selected items quickly.
• New! Increase efficiency by "Hide Excluded/Show all Items under scene Tree".
• New! Display shader situation and object face number in 3D windows.
• New! "Drag & Drop" file importing: 3DS, OBJ, SKP or VNS file formats.
• Scene Tree: multiple elements selection for node attributes editing.
  Schematic view of individual model segments for simple or complex models.
• Quick project reload - press F5 to reload last project, effective tuning loop for model creation.
• Quickly export VNS files to iClone folders - scene, props, accessories, user define.
• Keep last file path assignment to save frequently used folders.
• Auto model scale up and display dummy figure for size reference, when the original model unit setting is too small to view in 3DXchange.

Free 3D Resource Collection

• New! Free access to 3D models from Google 3D Warehouse directly.
• Download models with 3DS, OBJ or SKP file format from 3D resources like Turbo Squid, Renderosity, and Amazing 3D, to generate massive 3D models for iClone accessories, props, and scenes.

Linkage to Power Tools

• Bring your custom designs from world famous 3D modeling applications (ZBrush, Max, Maya, Google™ SketchUp, etc.) to iClone and turbo charge models into real-time movie production.
