Hi there,
can anyone tell me what the difference is between to 2 content pack types....(aside from price)

Export and iContent?

Kind regards

The items contained within each pack are identical. The main difference between the two is that those items contained within the Export packs have their DRM (Copy protect) features removed allowing them to be used after export through 3DXchange in other software such as Games.

If you don't ever intend to use items for anything else other than iClone productions then you won't need to buy the Export version of a pack. Also, owning the Export version of a pack is of no use unless you also own the Pipeline version of 3DXchange.

If you are going from iClone to say like HitFilm Express would you need the export?

If you are going to export physical models (like FBX or some other format) then, yes, you will need export licences.  But if all you are doing is exporting images or video to work on in a video editor then you do not need anything other than the regular content.   You can, for example, use the rendered output from iClone in Adobe After Effects, which I assume Hitfilm Express is similar to.

Thank you for the clarification, I appreciate the help.

Yikes I was about to buy iClone 7 PRO Bundle including CC Essential Complete Bundle before I saw this. I want to make stereoscopic vr movies. This will require exporting to render in another program. Are you saying I have to pay for these more expensive versions simply because iclone has no way of rendering 3d vr right now?
I really wish things were simpler.  Even if I did splurge on the iClone 7 Animation Pipeline bundle what other unforeseen costs or headaches will there be in the future due to this exporting issue?  Does all content come in "icontent" or "Export" form?

Good question! I use Hitfilm and wonder about the creations and animations I make using their pack!

Is their a difference in Pipelones. "Pipeline" shows up on the Character Creator splash screen but not mu iClone. Tried to do an export from iClone 7+ and it said I need pipeline for iClone!

If you are exporting rendered video to HitFilm you do not need Export license.  If you wish to import any of the 3D props/avatars/etc. into HitFilm for rendering/manipulation inside HitFilm then you will need the Export license.

Character Creator 3 Pipeline has direct FBX export options for characters and animations. However, if you want to export from iClone 7 as well then you require the 3DXchange 7 Pipeline plug-in to enable the export options. iClone 7 on its own can't export out to FBX.
