Reallusion iClone

This is a real-time animation and interactivity tool.

iClone5 is a template-based tool that lets you set up interactivity between actors and props making animation easy to implement. It has a lot of features that are useful in the animation kind of work. The new motion puppet and physics functions make animation even more realistic and simple to implement. The application has an intuitive interface. Though it is not meant for everyone, the interface would make it easy for people who work with animation of 3D characters. Editing features are offered that help you work in-screen. TV production companies need animations on short notices and this application has features that make these just-in-time animations possible. Pre-visualization of live action and real-time animations are made possible with this tool. You would be able to create 3D animated characters from photographs of real life actors.

This tool will make it possible to animate body and facial expressions of 3D characters. These 3D characters created are ready to be manipulated for those body and facial expressions. Several character styles are available for human as well as non-human characters. Motion puppet features make creating animations a lot easier. It is possible to audition and record body motions prior to deciding on innovative actor puppeteering. Blending of library motions to creating a final movement is possible in the tool. Transitions from one type of movement to the next are seamless. Microsoft Kinect motion capture is available. Props can have all the natural physical properties attached to them. Fall, collide and bounce effects can be created automatically. iScripts lets you script controls of interactive objects. Large number of prop templates are available with a range of custom textures and dynamic designs. This is a very good tool.

Different from other 3D tools, iClone is designed for instant visualization and digital storytelling. Its unique real-time animation engine gives you 10 x faster production speed by giving-what-you-see without having to wait. It's content-driven director layout is logically defined with Stage, Set, Actor, Animation, Media and Export tabs so that you may easily allocate resources during creation. iClone is not only the ideal tool for studios, live TV productions, and previzualizations but it also allows anyone to be their own director by animating without any hassles of creating content from scratch!
