Create a Path for Smart Animation Editing

Most of things around us are moving along a curve smoothly. By using this feature we can build a path for any object to follow without creating lots of transform keys. In iClone4 you can command almost anything to follow a path, including props, characters, lights, cameras, etc.

Path Library - Several embedded path templates for your selection.
Add, delete move control point to create any free form path like a drawing.

Paths can be defined to follow the terrain with actors or props following along.

Path Editing, Modification and Multiplication

Speed Control in Timeline (PRO Only)	Orientation (for banking)
Speed Variation (with transition curve)	Jumping from Path to Path

Editing Paths can enhance and modify the path speed, orientation or curve. You can also jump from path to path.

Link Anything to Path

3D Object	Camera
Light	Character

You can link characters, 3D objects, camera lighting and particles to a path for smooth animation.

Transition Curve (PRO only)

In iClone, you may set keys or add clips in different tracks. However, the interpolating can be customized to different methods so that the transition speed between two adjacent keys or clips can be dynamic, which can imitate the physic characteristics of the moving object in the real world.

Transition methods: Linear, Ease In, Ease Out, Ease In & Out, Ease Out & In, Step.
