I'm using the trial copy of 3dxchange, and had constructed a prop from several primitives in iclone 5 pro, attached them all ,then saved said item in iclone as one prop. I then reloaded the same prop into the scene to see how it loads.

All is well here so far. I wanted to export it to 3dxchange and work on it outside of iclone but I get a 'file import error' pop up.
Should i just use one primitive, export it to 3dxchange then work on it, import it back into iclone then finish building my prop ?
I wasn't sure if I was trying to export too many primitives at once even tho I had saved them all as one prop.

Everything else I've done in 3dxchange has worked great , save for one particular model i tried opening but found it was waaaay too large


EDIT: Answered my own question just now. i tried exporting just one primitive alone and got the same result. file import error from 3dxchange. Are iclone primitives not usable in the program?

Hi ,

3dxchange 4 no work with iclone 5

CGTRADER

ahhh. ok.
It will let me import sketchup models from 3dxchange into iclone 5, but not export stuff out of iclone, correct?
Cause i have a few models I successfully imported from sketchup into iclone 5 with 3dxchange.

glad I found this out now, I was on the edge of buying 3dxchange, but will have to wait until it is compatible with iclone pro 5
thank you for your help sen


edit : that has to be it. I imported another custom prop successfully in a matter of seconds, but it won't do an iclone 5 standard prop

Sen is right!

If you want to do 3DX operations you need iCLone4, but I guess not for long.
Surely the genius staff at Reallusion is working hard to have 3DX5 ready for us!

The pipeline from 3DXchange > iClone5 will work perfectly but not iClone5 > 3DXchange4.

This is because 3DXchange4 does not support IC5 file data. A new version of 3DXchange is in development and this will be fully compatible with iClone5.

thanks for the reply everyone. I found that out about the import export deal between the 3 programs.
just wondering tho, any ideas yet on how much to update from 3dxchange 4 to 5?

No details on upgrade pricing yet but it will be very competitive as always.

i am currently using iclone 6 pro when i am trying to importing my .iproject animated model it says 3DXchange 6 may not support that format?
kindly any solution?

3DXchange can not import/open an iProject. It can only import/open iProp, iAcc and iAvatar files from iClone.

I have notices the same when trying to import using blender and your character you have rigged using rigify it brings the same message. Anybody with a solution?
