I used to be able to import FBX figures as animated props
either Daz figures etc or my own rigging
but now the animation option exporting to iClone is no longer able to be ticked
this was useful for duplicating moving lowpoly crowds etc
when and why was this function removed?
they can be exported as nonhuman with animation embedded in perform but are then not props able to be duplicated and merged

why might I ask with due respect, is it not legal to install an earlier build of iClone and 3dxchange?
I do actually have older versions of standard not pro one even on a Reallusion back up disc
I presume the update when you register it changes the build you could just choose not to download the newer version.
have not looked but might even have an earlier build of 3dx4
I do not buy into conspiracy theories, the function might have been lost due to a conflict with other features added.
for instance autodetect and recognition for iAvatars and Daz Genesis which more or less unfortunately means also these cannot be imported as props as a result.

I too would love to see sw00000p publish the proof to back up his statement that installing an owned previous version of rather iClone or 3DXchange is in any way illegal.

The EULA clearly states that we may install 2 copies of a given version without any problems. It has also been stated on the forum by many RL employees that a user can have previous versions of the software installed on one system - it has even often been stated that keeping an older version of the software installed can help resolve problems when trying to complete projects before moving on to the newer version.

I have an XP boot hard drive with IC 3, 4 and 5 installed - and have never received any letters from the RL legal dept. telling me to remove any of them.

I also politely ask sw00000p to compose his answer using standard English sentence conventions - this may be difficult for a non-native speaker, but there are tools like Google to help with the translation.

Hi Wendy ,

Can you detail your problem ? I don't understand very well , sorry .
Prop in fbx format with animation embed work very well in 3dx5.51 .

swOOOp speaks english?

.

it used to be so until very recently for me
maybe last update
now they only save as nonhuman iAvatars with embeded animation
it is greyed out saving as a prop
not just figures, cars with turning wheels and other stuff created in carrara etc

very strange , no problem for me . Or I don't understand your problem ?

example Poser midi piano
can import with key animation as nonhuman only
used to be able as iProp before

Seem to be very strange .

Test with this example : a simple teapot with 20 frames , no problem in 3dx5.51 for me .
