Many a time, RL has surprised us with their developmental approach. So I would like to trust them. But resource allocation for an off-line rendering may not be such a great idea. They may offer some kind of plug-in / Pipeline for a stand alone rendering engine. The pipeline to DAZ for character development and prop import was brilliant. It extended the capability keeping its core strength in animation and rendering intact.

ICLONE would be a major attraction for individual animators and small studios who are "bugged down by the rendering timeline".

It must aggressively poach into the game engines and acquire their powerful Physics, cloth, hair and large city level asset management capabilities.

I understand the desire for wanting a better this or that. but if you guys are trying to get rid of the real time rendering. I won't go for that at all. the real time rendering is why I purchased iclone from the start. I want to see it before I convert it to video. I want to see what the results of my labor before I waste time rendering it to video. the current real time rendering saves time. and work.

You know, simply correcting me was enough. No need to inject the appeal to authority
which has nothing to do with anything.

If you wanted to get back at me for saying that you were misleading people, You could have simply dissed me for jumping to that conclusion.

I know of somebody who made his own complete feature length animated film, 3 times, and then eventually faced the fact that he can't write. So now he's making games.

So that articular appeal to authority doesn't really work with me.

Thanks for the info though.

In praise of Unreal Engine :

I love toon shaded animations. And as a matter of chance I came across this Toon Shaded Game (3d) for Sony Playstation developed with Unreal Engine.



The clue is from the official Unreal Engine Demo :

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be as harsh as it may have sounded. But why are you calling that appeal to authority? I didn't appeal to any authority. I was just pointing out the harsh reality that most of us are just dreaming about making anything off of our stuff and most never do. I know I never made anything off my stuff and God knows I've tried. I never even recouped expenses. lol.

I think maybe you didn't understand the thread very clearly. I was pointing out that Unreal 4 has absolutely amazing, advanced realtime rendering and that Reallusion should consider adopting that technology instead of re-inventing the wheel. However, I have definitely been wanting an offline software renderer for iClone simply because their realtime rendering is just bad. And they are giving us that. But then you look at Unreal 4 and you see realtime being done probably better than what we'll get with iClone 6 offline rendering.

The quality of Realtime Rendering in Unreal Engine and Cry Engine is fantastic. That quality in ICLONE would make the programme so desirable !

Exactly!

I tried UDK3 month ago because their rendering and yes , it is amazing...BUT!!!!
2 hours to learn how to make a simple camera travelling with their bloody "matinee".
Iclone take 3 clicks :
1-Add camera
2-slide the timeline cursor
3-move the camera
That's it!!!!
Today they call "matinee" : "Blueprint" but is sooooo complicated for simple things.
I see lot of new realtime software pumping out and I can assure you that Iclone is faaar in front
with their "drag'n'drop" philosophy.
Yes , Iclone is an 8 years old engine but seems it will be very improvement update because they'll implement the Substance technology like UDK4....
Did you notice that UDK , cry engine, Unity, etc... make their marketing on cinematic but those tools are seriously not optimize for cinematic ....
I feel confident with Iclone 6

There's something to be said for convenience...
