DEVICE LIVE & CUSTOM HOTKEYS

Intuitively engage directing and editing with Live Switching, Trigger Effects, Slider fader, Jog Dial timeline scrubbing, Drone camera navigation, and so much more. Almost all functions in iClone can map to custom hotkeys for assigning devices that interact as physical interfaces for ultimate scene control.

  • Live Link to Unreal engine.

Interface Switch

  • Direct jump to your target function with one click of a button.
  • Layout switch.
  • Panel and Tab switch.
  • Session switch.
  • Direct Function Triggers.

FREELY MAP DEVICES TO ICLONE FUNCTIONS

To make iClone more user driven, almost all iClone functions can custom map to user defined hotkeys, especially Windows compatible devices. This open design will fundamentally change the way people work with iClone, or Live Link animation to other 3D tools.

HOTKEY MANIA - SPEEDY CREATION TOTALLY WITH HOTKEYS

Save valuable time and control scenes with swift hotkey action. Take a look this fast animation and see how it’s totally done by using hotkeys.

USING THE SAME HOTKEYS AT DIFFERENT TOOLS

The limited keys on the keyboard may soon cause a hotkey conflict. The intelligent Global and Local hotkey trigger design enables using the same hotkey for different purposes, see how it at work here.

Global

To let the global keys take control, simply click on the 3D viewport, it will escape from the focused interface and resume hotkeys to global.

Local

Once you are highlighting a specific interface, such as Timeline, Modify Panel, or Motion Capture, the local keys will take effect.
