I just checked the zips and they appear to be working fine. It may have just been a temporary problem.

Please try them again.

Hi Rehdogg,

3DXchange doesn't create animations itself but any parts such as wheels, propellers etc can be separated so that they can be animated in iClone using the Timeline. This will vary from model to model so you should check to see if the model you are importing contains parts that could be animated. There are a number of tutorials that explain how to do this below:

When it comes to the tutorials you should try going through them more than once if need be until things become clearer. Skipping things because it isn't clear the first time can make things harder to grasp later on. Practice makes perfect so don't give up. I'm sure you will pick things up the more you use the software.

I just bought the 3dxchange and the tutorial was difficult for me because they said to do certain things to make the airplane wheels seperate uncheck but so many checks and i just didnt get it. How do i animate other things like people or animals? homes etc

Thanks Visconti, I've been searching the Reallusion website high and low for these, but could't fine them. Are there anymore available, they're a great idea, and real time savers. :).

Thanks again,
