It's not Maya, it's iClone. The whole new iClone 6 comes with a flexible user interface lets you detach, move and dock panels to customize your own layout and working style.

2. Big Quality Upgrade from Software Rendering

Other than the big enhancement on real-time engine, iClone6 will support software rendering through plug In architecture. The same content will looked totally different after the fine render.

3. Natural Soft Cloth to make your movements vivid

The new Soft Cloth physics for iClone6 make the dress looks real in motion. Designers can simply use a grayscale map to specify which part of the dress is governed by skin-bone, which others are governed by physics, the gradient provide smooth transition between them.

4. Tessellation from DirectX11

iClone6 has fully rebuilt it's core engine based on DirectX11. By combining GI and deferred lighting, there will be great visual improvement and more light numbers are supported. In addition, the newly added tessellation technology allows designers using displacement maps to control the mesh detail using GPU rendering.

5. Include Other Latest Technologies

As we mentioned above, iClone 6 is defiantly a big present that you don't want to miss in 2014. iClone 6 not only offer tons of new features, but also will adopt other leading technologies such as Nvidia PhysX , Speedtree 7 and Substance. Stay tuned to learn more of iClone6's new development update.

How do you think about these new features? Leave your comment below and share with us!!

By colour - 10 Years Ago

1) Flexible User Interface - Great news Smile

2) Will there be a choice of User Interface Skin colo(u)r ?

3) DX 11- Great news Smile

4) Will nVidia GPU Rendering be CUDA enabled? I'm currently AMD/ATI & would only change to nVidia, if CUDA enabled.

This looks really impressive, and may cause some users to postpone productions while waiting for the release. w00t

By Sen - 10 Years Ago

Very impressive . Great job RL Team .

By RobertoColombo - 10 Years Ago

A couple of kind requests:

1. seamless conversion/compliance of projects developed with iClone5
2. (if possible) faster rendering/execution engine when many avatars are added

Then one mandatory request: iClone6 for free for all of us BigGrin

Bruce (RL) (1/15/2014)

It's not Maya, it's iClone.....

It reminds me of an incident. Macromedia improved its UI with dockable menus. In the launching event, the CEO said it's not Photoshop, it's Flash !!

Sometime later, Adobe sued Macromedia and then finally bought the company.

Is RL ready for a takeover ?

Well, ICLONE and CTA definitely fit a niche !!! Both on the usablity and Price-Point curve !

Hope Autodesk is not salivating !

By duchess110 - 10 Years Ago

Great Work RL Team.

Love the soft cloth video cannot wait to try that feature out.

By SeanMac - 10 Years Ago

This is all good news.

I had a little difficulty with the language on #4 Tessellation on iClone 6.

May I offer a version.

Computer Graphics and Animation technology has inevitably had to acquire many jargon terms for novel actions and processes. Out of courtesy to the reader, the custom in technical journals is to gloss or explain the terms at first mention and then to add a reference to allow the reader to look up the term later in greater detail.

"iClone6 has fully rebuilt its core engine based on DirectX11 (cf Notes #1). By combining GI (Global Illumination Notes #2) and deferred lighting (Deferred Shading Notes #3), there will be great visual improvement and more light numbers [perhaps 'additional stage lights'?] are supported. In addition, the newly added tessellation technology (cf Notes #4) allows designers using displacement maps (scit: A displacement map is a texture that stores height information. Notes#5) to control the mesh detail (Mesh Subdivision Notes #6) using GPU (Graphics Processing Unit Notes #7) rendering. "

By Bigboss - 10 Years Ago

These features look very interesting...

For the Soft Cloth Physics, it would be nice if the Base Avatars were physics ready so that we do not have to add rigid bodies to collide with the soft Cloth.

The dock-able GUI is really really cool.... Smile

Finally PhysX & Speed Tree ... Really Cool ....

I hope that we can get our hands on the Betas Smile

Great JOB ! Smile

By The Mythical Dragon - 10 Years Ago

2) Will there be a choice of User Interface Skin colo(u)r ?

+1 on that one. It will expand the potential user base enormously and include those that have currently problems with user-interface contrast. QT has the capability for customizable skins built in, so it is not complicated to add something like that. Actually, some of the other RL products with a QT-based GUI already have better contrast.

Other than that, great news! It woke me right up... Doze w00t

By Magique - 10 Years Ago

Awesome news. I'm pleased to see that my SpeedTree suggestion was implemented as well as the improved rendering capabilities. I'm a bit disappointed that we aren't seeing any terrain engine improvements, however.

What exactly is being used to do the software rendering? Also, when will we see some video clips of some of these new features? The little thumbnail showing off the software rendering doesn't really tell me anything. I honestly can't see any difference and the image isn't encouraging.

By Magique - 10 Years Ago

I would like to add that I really could use this version right now. I'm going to be using iClone 5 for a cool special effects shot in my latest episode of Galahad, but it will pale in comparison to something I could do with SpeedTree integration and improved rendering. How does one get into a beta for this?

By vidi - 10 Years Ago

WOW !!!

The new features looks awesome to me

By Peaches Chrenko - 10 Years Ago

Sooooo Cool RL I'm excited about ALL these improvements. UI skin color control would be helpful and cool and I love the Dockable UI! PLEASE HURRY RL, CAN'T WAIT!!! Hehe

Very impressive looking upgrade but I hope us directors aren't left behind by those who need a science degree just to use the software.

Clever software is great but without the core of great stories, film making skills and animation masters, it's just all source code.

I trust Reallusion will take this into account Smile

Thanks

By Cricky - 10 Years Ago

Bruce (RL) (1/15/2014)

Hi all,

It's a brand new start in 2014! In these years, Reallusion has released some new updates to our main tools, including iClone5, CrazyTalk7, CrazyTalk Animator2, FaceFilter3 and more. We would really like to hear your voices and all your precious opinions will be the power for us to keep improving our service in the future. Therefore, we would like to invite you to finish a simple questionnaire and share your feedbacks with us.

1. Brand-new Dockable QT User Interface

It's not Maya, it's iClone. The whole new iClone 6 comes with a flexible user interface lets you detach, move and dock panels to customize your own layout and working style.

2. Big Quality Upgrade from Software Rendering

Other than the big enhancement on real-time engine, iClone6 will support software rendering through plug In architecture. The same content will looked totally different after the fine render.

3. Natural Soft Cloth to make your movements vivid

The new Soft Cloth physics for iClone6 make the dress looks real in motion. Designers can simply use a grayscale map to specify which part of the dress is governed by skin-bone, which others are governed by physics, the gradient provide smooth transition between them.

4. Tessellation from DirectX11

iClone6 has fully rebuilt it's core engine based on DirectX11. By combining GI and deferred lighting, there will be great visual improvement and more light numbers are supported. In addition, the newly added tessellation technology allows designers using displacement maps to control the mesh detail using GPU rendering.

5. Include Other Latest Technologies

Dockable - Great; If it can be set in preference(s) quick select options. This would allow multiple configuration choices and settings that could be selected and used for desktop and laptops, if used on various models of computer.

Soft Cloth clothing... OK -

More Lighting Options. Why the limit to 4 Dir/Spots and 4 Point Lights? Perhaps make it a selectable preference for number of lights available and the user will have to adjust the qty based on their computers capabilities and save them for their preference option(s). Perhaps this is what was meant in #4 above "more light numbers"?

Multiple preference configurations would be nice:

Option One, Option Two, Option Three, etc.; each with the settings desired as radio button options based on whether they are using it as a Desktop or Laptop version. This way configurations could be used as an (*.ini) option that could be transferred to the other system with all preferences intact. It could also be saved for when an uninstall is required to accomplish a clean install replacement or upgrade, and not having to reset all those preferences again.

I usually view everything in date modified sequence, because that is usually what I'm looking for; what I'm doing now. The problem is, whenever I close iClone, I have to set those options all over again, every time I start iClone because it defaults to an alphabetic sequencing. Regardless of preference of the user, these minor resets each time can be tedious.

One last item: Some may not remember this option; The VCR video controls would be a nice comeback. I got a lot of use out of them to control video footage playback (Play-Pause-Stop) on the timeline. ...but it's been a few versions. I mentioned this during the BETA when it was dropped, but it fell on deaf ears.

That's it for now. I filled out the questionnaire form and it contains other things, but no sense in repeating those here.

Bottom line, is it surely looks like things are advancing. Some hard work being accomplished in the background. Looking good.

By Shaky - 10 Years Ago

iClone6? (pulls out credit card)

By martok2112 - 10 Years Ago

iClone 6....oh, HELL YES! Smile

Looks like it has some cool new features.

I agree with the notion that it should have easy compatibility with projects made in iClone 5 so that if we're in mid-production on something, we don't have to stop and re-reproduce everything to suit iC6.

I also agree that MORE LIGHTS are needed, and better shadow options.

And please...pleeeeeaaaase..... don't jack up the price! BigGrin

By yoyo26 - 10 Years Ago

There will be REAL reflection this time? please....

By IO1 - 10 Years Ago

I love the improvements you've mentioned, the move to DX11 is awesome. The sound work flow is sometimes a bit cumbersome to use.

*Positional sound would be nice and a sound workflow more like a sequencer.
*Ragdolls would be awesome.
*Pupil dilation would be great.
*Built in text objects would be great in both 2d & 3d.
*Physics forces would be great.
* Foot sliding.

I'm looking forward to this update thanks for the great work.

By yoyo26 - 10 Years Ago

Please:
1) don't forget to add real reflection option on all surfaces, and not just on water.
2) Possibility to have lens halo when whe have sun
3) more specials effect

The number of lighting is a great feature!

Thank you !!!

By Rampa - 10 Years Ago

These new features look outstanding!!!

I am hoping that walking along paths, without being attached to them, sees some improvements as well.

Really looking forward to the new version. Smile

By planetstardragon - 10 Years Ago

very nice, especially loving the look of the new layout!! w00t

By justaviking - 10 Years Ago

@Cricky and Martok - Peter(RL) has said the lighting module is being completely replaced. I've always assumed that mean more (unlimited?) lights, and he's never contradicted me when I've stated my assumption.

ABOUT REFLECTIONS -- DirectX11 will unleash a world of capability!!! (Maybe even fog. I wonder if anyone here on this forum cars about fog.)

By Tok39Larraby - 10 Years Ago

Will ic6 require graphics hardware to fully support DirectX 11?

My son can't play latest Call of Duty title because his Nvidia gaming card doesn't 'completely' support DX11 (card is a couple of years old but reasonably high spec)

Are those of us using older cards going to have to outlay for new ones to run IC6?

Simon

By Rampa - 10 Years Ago

Is that new soft cloth demo from the "real-time" (by frame) renderer, or the software one?

It looks quite convincing, as the cloth seems to be actually contacting the avatar's legs.

Tok39Larraby (1/16/2014)

Probably, if you want to benefit from those features. But I should probably keep my mouth closed, because I'm only guessing and assuming. How gracefully will iClone 6 handle older systems running DX10 (or 9)? Good question.

iclone 6? oh my goodness! well now.. my question is.. will I have to be doing any refitting of my current computer?(major hardware upgrades) will IC6 be 64 bit? and of course.. as was stated by others.. will I be able to use projects and props created in iclone 5? will I be able to import from iclone 5 folders, content. without having the miracle of watermarks. and have to go online each time to get rid of them. or will I have to copy content to iclone 6 folders and then go thru a 15 hour verify session? cause I do have a large content collection. yes, I spend alot of money here.

just asking.. i'm addicted to iclone. and I plan to keep productions going till 6 gets here. iclone 6 is sounding good so far.. better rendering sounds awesome.

Have you Posted this problem in the Iclone General Forum? If not, I suggest you do-so.

By colour - 10 Years Ago

"rampart (1/17/2014)

Couple things.

We need more efficiency in the iclone to enable faster load times of content items and projects.

It is unreasonable to have 3.3 minute video projects take 2-1/2 minutes to load before we can work on them. Huge time waster. Maybe, we need a bell, buzzer or something to let us know when our project or content is loaded. We can go and do other things that need being done, instead of sitting in front of the computer....waiting....waiting. After the bell goes off we can come back to iclone and do our work. Don't dismiss this as unreasonable. I loaded a 105KB avatar and it took over 1 minute to load into iclone. It didn't matter whether it was the first time I loaded it, or second or third time, etc.

So, bring on the bell, if you can't do something about this.

http://timer.onlineclock.net/timers/ This is what I am planning to use, or somthing like it. This is a serious issue, especially for those of us who really have to get things done.

I would really like to see some closeups of the GUI."

Accepted that Projects per se, can take some time to load & not at all, your particular problem seems to be related to your own Workflow. Heeding the advice already given in various Threads / Posts, should improve your Project Load times.

By planetstardragon - 10 Years Ago

one thing I'd love to see in the next version of iclone - is a way to reconnect videos to projects quickly.

After I built my new computer and moved my drive over ....all my embeded video links in my projects are broken. A search for missing file option would be nice to quickly fix the broken links.

The toys and tools just keep on coming. Never since version 1 have I been disappointed in an upgrade. They have always been major upgrades particularly when compared to the price of iClone (including the pipeline version) versus other 3D tools.

Facial mo-cap has been a request of mine for a while, even hand mo-cap is possible now. But more to the iClone hopeful inclusions which I'm sure it's a no brainer..... physics hair including facial hair, and I'm sure secondary motions in jiggly places like fatty pockets would be a possible implementation it shows up in 3dxchange but needs to be more refined.

By Apparition - 10 Years Ago

Dear Bruce:

More than an "Upgrade", version 6 looks to me as a totally new release, full of power and innovation.

There are concerns regarding Third Party Content Developers and the new announcement.

The fact the announcement is done quite early it is highly probable the content market is GOING TO BE AFFECTED, because in a logical reaction, content buyers will be reluctant to invest in content, mainly when there is a perspective of a total new approach for it.

For the sake of all our developer efforts, (and I think I am speaking with the voice of many) it would be very supportive from your part to detail the compatibility degree to be expected with the new release.

a) Will G5 full standard to be maintained?

b) Will there be a better means for developers to work, than the contorted way via 3DXchange, which does NOT allow to implement may IMPORTANT features, like "Selection sets", Skin rigging, etc.?

c)In other words, a suitable plugin for the latest versions of MAYA and MAX are indispensable, because the ones available reach as high as MAX version 11, and you MUST CONSIDER, older versions of MAY and MAX are not possible to be obtained, except from the illegal market.

d)Will the current structure for Props, Accessories and such be maintained? Wit Alley, we are engaged in the production of a lot of content using the new Avatar Controller and truly wee need possible buyers to KNOW, the product will be usable and effective with iClone 6?

Please understand our concerns, but take for granted our admiration for the tremendous creativity exhibited by your Development Staff!

Do not forget our disposition to test and support your early tests and beta programs!

Congratulations!

I agree with you on most of your concerns and comments.

I still run with Max 2010 so I hope RL if they bring out a new plugin will continue to support it.

If you have a subscription with Autodesk you can still have access to older versions legally and not as you have stated.

By fablefox - 10 Years Ago

Good news.

However, 3D Exchange is a large pipe of the pipeline, or should I say, the gate keeper. So no matter how many bonus point does IClone 6 have, I need to have the news alongside what improvement 3D Exchange will have.

Can't wait.

By theschemer - 10 Years Ago

Sounds exciting, but as a new user that just purchased iClone 5.5, I too want to know if anything I buy now as far as extras and content, will be usable in version 6? Backwards compatibility is a great thing and I want to buy stuff I can use looking forward. Wink

Marc

By Tok39Larraby - 10 Years Ago

hmm... Whilst I love the new features. I'm increasingly worried given my video card doesn't fully support Direct X 11, that I will also be needing a new card in order to get started with IC6.

As the next video card I buy is going to be even higher up the ladder when the time comes, ... It's going to add considerably (probably more than double the base IC6 pro price in order to be able to use the product.)

In my favour, I will be able to upgrade IC5P instead of full version, but still it's going to cost me a whack. Even if RA gives me a freebie like they did with CTA2. It's still going to cost me a lot (I bought half the content store so that I qualified for the freebie CTA2 upgrade. )

The best outcome for me would be to be told that I will still be able to run IC6 with DirX 9/10 just without the same performance/features. ... That would be nice. .. but I seriously doubt that will be possible. (happy to be corrected Bruce)

The other option will be to wait till I'm ready to upgrade my card before thinking about an upgrade to IC6. As my current 2yo card cost me $400 I hope to go another year or so and then upgrade the card along with the entire system.

Kind of a 'buzz-kill' for me atm.

I would expect we'd be able to run IC6 with DX 9 or 10, but with all the fancy new featured grayed out. That would be fairly typical of lots of other software. But, sadly, have also seen it where DX11 is an absolute requirement, and software won't even install without it because if fails the system requirements test.

MODERATOR QUESTION -- Peter(RL) or other mod... can you comment on that? Please. It's going to be very critical to probably a lot of people.

By davidktimperley - 10 Years Ago

This all looks good. I have been wondering how long it was going to be, before iClone bolted in a non-realtime render option.

I'd like to spruck a possible new feature.

This is a web site for a new product...
https://plotagon.com/

In many ways it's similar to iClone.

The main feature I like is the 'vocalization' of the characters based on a 'film script' interface.
I'd like to see something similar for iClone.

This feature would make the construction of animatics more useful as 'scratch' dialogue can be added.
Training videos could be made without the need to hire vocal talent.

There is an opportunity for Reallusion to generate recurring revenue from character vocals add-ons which could be sold in the content store.
Not just generic male or female voices. What about Darth Vader, Inspector Clouseau, Karate Kids Mr Miyagi? George Bush, or Arnie ?

By Tok39Larraby - 10 Years Ago

@davidktimperley

Whlst iClone does support TTS technology, the actual voices/voice technology, is provided by third parties. I purchased three voices from two different vendors and they work quite well.

Unfortunately, I didn't read the user agreement that accompanied them. (from both vendors)

1. You can only use for your own personal use.
2. You are not licensed to post any video incorporating the voices on Youtube.
3. A licence to post on Youtube (but constained to allowing you to only send direct links to friends - In other words, you cannot post publicly.) will set you back another $70 on top of the $45 you have already outlaid.
4. Pricing for Commercial use? - Dependent on size of audience and quoted accordingly. I was quoted $1200 per voice for my State's Education Department.

Have moved a tad off topic but I don't think voice engine technology is on RA's horizon. The TTS features within IC5 work really well... Just wish I could use the voices I have in the output I create. It's a damn site easier than having to 'find' voice talent and useful, particularly when you want to mock something up.

Simon

By davidktimperley - 10 Years Ago

Hi Simon,
I've also looked into incorporating 'generated vocals'. I was put off by the licences of some products, and the need to import the audio from separate applications.
It's interesting learning of your experiences.

iClone is pretty much built on licensed tech so I'm hoping that this sort of capability isn't beyond the scope of Reallusions abilities.

I'm attempting to stimulate conversation on this sort of functionality. If there is a positive reaction by the users, Reallusion is more likely to examine potential implementations.

I wouldn't be in favor of adding a vocalization component as it steers away from the core iClone functionality. I looked at some of the plotagon videos, and one of the drawbacks of TTS is evident, there is not much difference whether the speaker is happy, sad, or angry. I also found the resulting animation quite mechanical. It is the EZ button approach and it is quite clever, but there are obvious limitations.

The TTS licensing restrictions have already been mentioned and I wouldn't want to price of iClone to increase just to have the convenience of vocalization. All the functionality to do lipsynching is already included. I would rather have RL improve that part, as currently quite a lot of editing is still required to correct the errors in the recognition component.

I'm not against using TTS and do so myself. I actually use a service that doesn't have licensing restrictions that have been pointed out,

By Dreamcube017 - 10 Years Ago

WELL NOW!!! This is very interesting indeeed!

PhysX, cloth (guessing ran by PhysX as well, Substances will be AMAZING, and even the way cloth works as well.

I also like how you snuck something about GI and deferred lighting in there as well. Hm I may just have to upgrade when it comes out after I finish some other audio projects.

Also I'm wondering if we will be able to do the cloth thing with any object that has this cloth grayscale map you mentioned. This will REALLY come in handy for Daz characters that have those big dresses and long hair pieces that look like they should flow and move... but don't. I'm assuming those get created like a UV map... kind of like weight painting.

Anyhow, this is some great news. I'll keep an eye out.

By Dreamcube017 - 10 Years Ago

Ok now I'm responding to what others have said. Yeah the TTS license seems just terrible. I have a feeling the companies would charge RL a nice pretty penny to have some of the voices included with the program.

Yes they would be good for some basic mockups, but on a finished piece, it really is a good idea to go and find some talent. VoiceActingAlliance has a lot of people there willing to help out. (I'm on there as well)

I doubt it. At this moment the FBX from DAZ has clothes merged onto the character's body, like a second skin. But I am hoping RL will do something and help bring in Daz clothes as clothes, sometime in future.

I also hope RL will allow DAZ Morphs THROUGH SLIDERS in ICLONE as they are available in 3DX Facial setup.

By Evgeny2 - 10 Years Ago

Very interesting news! Smile

It would be very desirable to have opportunity to add new morphs directly in iClone. It is necessary for example for correction of some poses.
And for this purpose very much it would be desirable to receive GOZ(ZBrush) or that-nibut the similar.

Dreamcube017 (1/24/2014)

I was burning some time during a render, and was window shopping the Reallusions and Daz content stores. The quality of the Daz stuff in much higher. I hope that Reallusions continues to improve the import of Daz models.

By davidktimperley - 10 Years Ago

animagic (1/21/2014)

I looked at some of the plotagon videos, and one of the drawbacks of TTS is evident, there is not much difference whether the speaker is happy, sad, or angry. I also found the resulting animation quite mechanical. It is the EZ button approach and it is quite clever, but there are obvious limitations.

I'm guessing, but I reckon the problem with the lack of emotion on those Plotagon videos is the 'script based' interface. Unless the author specifies an emotion, the characters will speck their lines 'straight'. If such a facility is added to iClone, we already have the tools available to add character to the actors.

As for the expense of licencing, I wonder if anyone has tried Google? They have some brilliant tech available for 'text to speech' interpretation.

By planetstardragon - 10 Years Ago

i just did a search on the google speech synthesis, it seems they have it tied into their android app ..and google play - but it doesn't look like they are making it available otherwise. I'm guessing it will also be strict with licensing and content ID ripping at anyone using it.

By Magique - 10 Years Ago

I've been learning Blender and came across this bit of information about their new Cycles rendering system.

http://www.blendernation.com/2014/01/27/cycles-standalone-renderer/#utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Blendernation+%28BlenderNation%29

Apparently, this will allow their amazing rendering system to be used by other 3D applications. It would be nice if iClone was planning to use this in version 6.

By Cellygon - 10 Years Ago

Wow, I am late to the party but I am very excited for iClone 6. Loved the new UI and the new physic cloth/other features. Can't wait for it to come out.

Just one question, to take advantage of Nvidia PhysX, I would need a Nvidia Graphic Card with PhysX support right? if so, I need a hardware upgrade.

So when in 2014 can we expect this to be out?

By mtakerkart - 10 Years Ago

This is the BIG question of all of us......... Wink

For me ,I stop my pipeline and i won't buy anything in the store till the release.

By animagic - 10 Years Ago

Well, first it has to be ready, then we have beta testing, which hasn't been announced yet, then we have a release. It wouldn't be next month. Maybe 6 or 9 months from now? w00t

We'll have to keep being stuff though so that the developers can eat. A statement form RL as to the compatibility of current iClone content would help alleviate a buyer's stop... Unsure

Hello people,
the new Futeres shown so far have been very successful.
I just hope that the content used previously with IClone 6
will still work as before. the hullabaloo from 4 to 5 need not be again.
Otherwise, it means waiting patiently for October 2014. Rather, it will probably not give 6 IC ..

Greetings from Germany

rampa (1/28/2014)

I'm dreaming of this, but not holding my breath.

Drool.

I am really looking forward to hearing more details about the extent of DirectX11 support. That holds HUGE potential.

By DELETED2 - 10 Years Ago

Well this all sounds really exciting.

I've taken a while to watch responses and make an accumulative average of peoples disgruntlements.
Terrain control I could always have done with.
The "more and more lighting" I can really do with.

ASSUMING the new technologies deliver MIST control... we're really onto something. Finally we get something I've lost many weeks on and scrapped many sets because of.... and that's a lot of sets and a lot of months.
I saw the tongue-in-cheek comments about my detestation of current atmospheric control in iClone Smile and justifiably so and after near on a decade it would be nice to imagine those days are history.

Dockable interface.
Now, I really hope this means that, sitting with two monitors as I have since about 1998, we can shift all the forms and managers and lists over to the "controller" monitor and keep the set on the "studio" monitor full whack?
If so, this is so much the more easier solution to work on sets with near 1000 props. Now that would really be something.

I'll take your word for software rendering.
More speed? Well, I don't mind sleeping on a project as in version iClone 1.5, and waking in the morning to the footage as long as it knocked the socks of the viewers.
Quality? That's what Id go for every time. Not speed.

...//...plug In architecture. The same content will looked totally different after the final render.

Superb news.

The cloth technology looks exciting.
I presume this isn't limited to clothes against an avatar body and that it applies to curtains, table cloths, sails for galleons, flags, picnic blankets on the ground and horse blankets while theyre working out?
It looks beautiful.
The gradient technology between physics and skin/bone contact is really exciting.
But are we to assume that this cloth technology isn't just for swinging skirts in dance, but that it also applies to the creases in the sleeves of a woolly sweater, and creases at the knee in jeans?
How far does the change go?

Tessellation... Its exciting. ... are we talking about GPU tessellation taking advantage
of hardware fixed-function tessellator units. Where the tessellator unit generates uvs and topology connectivity for subdivided input primitives amplifying the original data where generated vertex data is directly consumed by the vertex shader invoked for each new vertex which would be a lot to install into iclone.
Can iClone animators enjoy this..... ? or is it strictly limited as an arena for modellers with 3DSMax?

I cant wait to see the new lighting. This last quarter I have really worked hard on lighting technique having read that it makes or breaks scenes by up to 80% influence. So, damned right we need more lights. Smile And I'd love to know what we can do with the new ones. w00t

In addition, the newly added tessellation technology allows designers using displacement maps to control the mesh detail using GPU rendering.

When you say iClone will "adopt other technologies" ridiculously this doesn't mean we have a speed tree similar system inside iClone?
The tree Studio pack at five thousand dollars cant be a part of iClone but compatibility is good enough. Smile
Substance too looks to be superb improvement on compatibility.

When do we finally see the bigger list of improvements for iClone 6? As usual I'm still excited about the upgrades in 5.x so it'll extend my party anyway. Cool

Hopefully a bigger bias toward the animator as for some time now iClone has started to feel like an elite modellers arena with extortionate attention to super grade avatar import export and pipeline interchangeability when all the while the set they're supposed to act on remains a bit bog-basic. iClone 6 might show a way forwards from that at last. We can dearly hope.

Conclusively... well done. It all looks exceptional. And I expect a hell of a lot of hard work and alternate thinking processes.
Bring on the Mists of time. Wink

By Colonel_Klink - 10 Years Ago

This is all rather cool. New features, yes! However I'd like to see the AML/LUA scripting revamped so that it is easy to use, and that users can more freely animate props without having to remove the scripting hood, so's to speak and fiddle with the innards to get things working.

All in all looking forward to Iclone 6... I'm presuming that there will be an overhaul of 3DX at the same time?

Now I have things to do in 2014:
1. Save for a new computer
2. Save for Iclone 6
3 Save for 3DX 6 (????)

Hoping the upgrade will be relatively painless BigGrin

By xalidfetah - 10 Years Ago

I know it is not maya it is iClone,
because iClone can never be like Maya or 3ds Max,
I think iClone 4 was perfect, was not a physic, but was never something defective,
but since I iclone 5 seen until now I have never seen a version perfect,
important is not the photo to see that you showed us,
with Maya and 3ds Max, you can do what you want,
but for iClone you have to buy everything,
important is not the photo to see that you showed us
important is have to be works perfectly,
you must not have everything, but important thing is have to perfectly working,
you need to control your own new future,

I have no iclone but i like to use iclone 6 Smile

Here is another render option if one hasn't been chosen yet.

more real look of texture
tool for the life of trees (leaves and branches should have physics)

the ability to create games (at least bypassing review) walk around the house-3D walk

I look forward to!
Sincerely Alexey.

By Waterlane Studios - 10 Years Ago

'looking forward to the new features of iClone6...

Although it may be to late to add them, I'd like to suggest some new features I'd really like, when possible... ;-)
Camera/Perspective match objects/character to photo-images (and video if possible).
Text creation/editing (without the need for other software) to help create titles/credits.
Transitions between camera shots/objects (eg fade a title in)

That's it - thanks for now.

Redirect to wishful features to check out facerig, and on the offline renderer note, a few more suggestions. http://www.chaosgroup.com/en/2/index.html
And this, if you can get your hands on it http://www.autodesk.com/products/mental-ray-standalone/overview

By Magique - 10 Years Ago

I have some more questions that I don't think were addressed yet. With PhysX being added to iClone 6, what does that mean for projects currently using the existing physics implementation? Will iClone 6 simply use a different underlying engine to perform the physics or will the old physics engine still be there to support legacy physics projects? Or will old physics projects just cease to function?

Also, are we going to be getting any kind of plugin architecture so that 3rd party developers can write new plugins for iClone? I think this would really open up iClone for future enhancements without having to wait for upgrades from Reallusion. It would be nice if such an architecture would be open enough to even allow others to integrate alternate rendering engines.

By Evgeny2 - 10 Years Ago

The last week I very actively used iClone and there were additional wishes Smile

May be not late to add Smile

1. Possibility to select and bend/rotate some bones at once in "Edit Motion Layer". For human and non-human figures.
2. Possibility not to close the "Edit Motion Layer" when switching between figures.
3. Possibility to keying Scale for bones in scene.
4. Using/Editing/Adding/Keying users morphs IN iClone. Very very important thing for correcting poses in animation process.
5. Goz for ZBrush Smile

6. Hot key for Content Manager window. Can be to divide a window of a choice of a new content and what already in a scene? Smile

I'm sorry for my weak English Doze

Hi,

I am interested in better smoke an fire effect in iClone. Is PhysX able to render both smoke and fire effects? I have also seen a Nivida product called "Flameworks" film-quality volumetric particle effects http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-UTHFA2PUM.
It would be great if iClone support this in the future Smile

Magique (2/14/2014)

Speaking of PhysX. Are we going to see dyanmic hair like this?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbBkwqMwPtY

With the potential of alternate plug-in (non-realtime) rendering engines, then I think there might be hope.

But that animation was a single head. Imagine multiple avatars running around on a windy day. How many Titan graphics cards might be needed to do it realtime?

It sure would be great to use the iClone realtime rendering engine to create a scene. Then after all the animation is done, you hand it over to another rendering engine that runs all night long but produces results like what you linked to. That would be really, really cool. Oh yeah, really cool.

By Magique - 10 Years Ago

That sort of demo was done in real-time so I think it's possible to do more than one character at a time. And even if not, then there could be a way to have low-res/standard hair during realt-time and substitute dynamic hair at render time. I think that's reasonable.

Can we export video at 4K resolution in iClone 6?

By Magique - 10 Years Ago

I would like to offer a new suggestion for iClone 6. It would be really nice to be able to animate characters like you can do in the Maestro 2 Plugin for LightWave. The way Eric has designed his plugin to control characters through intuitive hotspots is just brilliant. The kind of control you have over the animation process is really nice. The current iClone method of Motion Edit is not horrible, but it is somewhat clunky and difficult to work with.

Check out the Maestro 2 page for some video clips showing how the animation tool works.

http://www.stillwaterpictures.com/maestro/

I'm not very familiar with the Maestro 2 facial animation features so I'm mainly referring to the full-body character animation stuff. I think iClone's Facial puppeteering is pretty good as-is. But any improvements would be welcome there as well.

If it does happen, I am quite sure it will be AFTER the Windows version is released. I have no actual knowledge of any details, but my impression from reading various posts is that if it does happen, it won't be at the same time as the Windows release of iClone 6. Maybe 6.1???

The main feature I like is the 'vocalization' of the characters based on a 'film script' interface.
I'd like to see something similar for iClone.

This feature would make the construction of animatics more useful as 'scratch' dialogue can be added.
Training videos could be made without the need to hire vocal talent.

Was just checking out the TTL online access and I really like what I'm seeing. This is pretty much what I wanted and I'm now waiting for 6 to be released to make the jump.
