I'm trying out the trial. Would have done a straight upgrade if the Kinect Mocap was still there. Now I can't find Clonebone rigging or a way to install. An absolute deal-breaker for me. Is it gone?

That's odd to go that long without input from one of the gurus.

Bone rigging is one of a thousand things I haven't done much in iClone, so I have nothing to offer.  Sorry.

Someone?  A little help here, please.

Clone Bone is still here . You only need go through 3Dxchange or saved in iC 5 and drag it into IC 6

CloneBone is not skinning rigging , actually it is a Avatar in Bone shapes and you can attach props on it, to create robotor.
For a real rigging with bend joints aka mesh deformation you need a 3D programm.

Thanks vidi! So no Clonebone in iClone 6. I'm not upgrading and that means I'm looking around for other solutions. The elegant solution of Clonebone and the prospect of Kinect Mocap in a slick RT package was the two biggest advantages of iClone. It was what separated it from the rest of the crop. Unfortunately it is now gone. What's left is a low poly animation package that lacks a unique edge. As an example Poser Pro is a high poly/rigging software with Kinect support and RT support. It's also got great support for import/export formats like BVH, FBX, Collada or OBJ sequences built in. No need for bridging software.

Clone Bone is a extra Bonus Content for iC4 Pro or iC 5 pro User
If you have iC4 or IC5 Pro you find it in your account (patch/Bonus)
All what you need install it to iC 6, or drag and drop, like as I describe above


Now extra tested for you.
I have it download from my member account
The installer ask me where I want to install . I choose iC6 . I find it in the Avatar Library and can use it in iC 6 ... so No problem here !

Yep! I had no trouble bringing him over from iClone 5 into 6. Looks like he's working just fine.
