When using the motion layer with a character that has a standard Reallusion skeleton, the HumanIK allows for easy IK animation. There was a procedure for assigning IK on the fly for other types of skeletons, but that does not work anymore. Steps:...More
I work at 24 fps, which is the international standard for projection and playback, and has been since sound was added to film (about 90 years ago). This is impossible in Iclone. In order to animation at 24fps in Iclone, you must animate in 60fps and then export at 24 fps. This unfortunately...More
When building a run/walk cycle in Iclone it is impossible to figure out the number of frames until it has been applied to the time-line. This is too late. It is impossible to animate in multiples of frames (e.g. 2 steps per 60 frames -- the old walking on 2's standard) without some form of...More
You are at version 7 of an animation program and have yet to implement a simple "mirror pose" function. This is an elementary component of any decent animation package. Making a repeatable walk-cycle is twice as much work with your software!!!! Even more, if you're looking for accurate symmetry...More
The motion clip and its encased keys is flattened before they are saved as a motion file (*.iMotionPlus) for Non-Human avatars. Therefore, when i apply the saved motion clip file back on to a character, the encased keys is missing (because they are completely merged into the clip before the...More
When using the Edit Motion Layer to do key frame animation, the locks to hold the hands and feet in a set location fail if the root bone is moved. The hands and feet move in arcs between the keys, returning to the proper location only at the keys. So in between keys, they move instead of remaining...More
PROBLEM: Many people have observed that the RENDER SPEED is affected by the SIZE of the iClone PREVIEW WINDOW. That seems inherently wrong. I am not talking about preview speed. PRIMARY SUGGESTION:...More
Hi there! I've experienced an unusual bug a couple of times when animating characters in iClone 7.2 Sometimes when I load the character into a scene, or just at random when I put the character through a walk or run animation, one or both of the character's feet (and legs) will suddenly flip...More
