CLICK HERE IN ORDRE TO READ THE UPDATED TUTORIAL FOR ICLONE 3 WITH ALL MISSING IMAGES
Tools Needed

* DAZ|Studio
* FBX-Plugin for DAZ|Studio
* Photoshop (or other graphics program)
* Autdodesk 3dsMax
* Reallusion iClone
* iClone VNS Exporter for 3dsMax


1) First, you need 3D models store on DAZ website. To accomplish this four legged liveprop, I used these two products together: DAZ Buck and Antelope Pack expansion





2)Now load/build a scene with your model in DAZ|Studio. Don’t forget to apply animated poses to your figure. Fore more information about this, visit DAZ tutorials section



3)At this step, you need FBX-Plugin for DAZ|Studio





FBX has quickly become the leading 3D File Interchange Format. It provides a powerful new way of working with 3D content from a wide variety of applications and source material providers. Exporting in the FBX format provides you access to an industry-wide 3D format, and allows you to use your DAZ content in products such as Maya or 3D Studio Max.


Then click File -- Export and choose FBX 6.0 as export format. Choose a directory and file name for export and click save. In the following menu with the FBX-Export-Options choose the following options:





Click Accept and save your FBX-File.

4) Import your FBX-File in 3dsMax

Start 3dsMax, Click File - Import and import your exported FBX-File.

In 3dsMax you will find all imported textures in the Material editor. You can edit them in Photoshop or any image editor. Your models is correctly rigged with all bones and ready for motion





5) Choose File>Export... to export your liveprop for iClone.

In the File Type option, choose iCloneExp (*.VNS) file format and assign the designate folder. Choose "prop" object Type, assign to prop animation clip then click "OK"





6) That's all! Now your prop is ready to be use in iClone!
