Embedded ContentComprehensive Template-based Content
Professionals and beginners can take advantage of tons of pre-made content and smart interactivity between actors, vehicles
and props that make animation fun and logical. iClone is a 3D animation program embedded with tons of content for you
to explore and convert to desired formats like FBX, BVH, or OBJ.
Character
Find Embedded Characters with Real-time Optimization
IClone includes 4 essential male & female human characters with 16 derived outfits and styles found inside the
bonus pack
G5 Outfit Collection which include; 2 CloneCloth characters that can be cut and painted with any image editor for endless possibilities;
2 cartoon character (available in the
Gorf's Wonderland resource pack); and more. All actors feature a higher level of detail and an
optimized polygon count for faster performances. Additionally, the same generation of characters can exchange different
body parts for free combinations.
Motion
Type 1: Persona Motions (male, female, cartoon)
A Persona is the characteristics given to an actor so that the actor can animate in a unique style. One Persona file
may include several sets of movement behaviors. Use the Behavior Mode Switch (hotkey X/Z, next/previous mode) to
trigger different animation sets such as walk mode, run mode, or a custom fly mode. Animations defined in the Persona
can be either triggered by hotkeys or the right-click menu.
Type 2: Basic Human Movements (idle, stand, sit, lie, walk, talk, ...)
iClone consists of hundreds of well-calculated, daily motions for top mocap quality. The MixMoves (motion graph) system
automatically generates natural transitions between previously selected motions for male or female actors. Also,
its motion graph technology presents a general framework for human motion states to blend together, seamlessly. Storytellers
simply need to select target motions under different states such as standing idle, sitting, kneeling or lying down.
The system then automatically sequences motions and blends them together in a natural, believable manner.
Type 3: Puppet Profiles Adjustmenst for Unlimited Motion Variation
Users may select face features or body parts and add puppet behaviors, while controlling their animations during playback
or real-time recording. Users may manually control the puppeteering speed and direction, or let the animation loop
with slider alterations. Animators are also able to create frequent male and female motion alternatives with 55 different
puppet profiles found in 4 categories. Simply select a profile and adjust the the character with parameters like
lower lips, lean forward, or narrow stance to generate endless walking styles from one single walking profile.
Prop
Static, Physics Objects, and Props with Animations
iClone contains lots of 3D objects and props to support any stage creation. It includes 3D dummys that can be applied
to any images or materials using Diffuse, Opacity, or Reflection map channels; pre-made physics objects with special
physics attribute for real-world object simulation; and props wiith LUA scripts that can be played back in real-time
and baked into your target tools' animations.
Material Templates
iClone provides a huge material library with wood, leather, stone and marble materials which are packaged with easy
texture mapping. (e.g. the metal materials include the image textures for Diffuse, specular and reflection map
channels.) Inside iClone, you may use the "Eyedropper" tool to collect material info from specific textured
surfaces and the "Paint Bucket" tool to quickly paint and apply the same materials to different objects.
