PopcornFX Plug-in for iClone, in addition to supporting the sampling of images and meshes right inside iClone, can also import PopcornFX Editor's native *pkfx format.

The following topics is expounded upon in this article:

Acquisition of PopcornFX Editor and relevant particle effects content.
Handling differences in world coordinate systems between PopcornFX and iClone.

PopcornFX being Y-up (like Unity 3D) and iClone being Z-up (like Unreal Engine).

Dealing with missing *.pkmm and *.pkproj upon import.

Missing message prompt and suggested remedy.

Representation of PopcornFX Editor parameters inside iClone's plug-in user interface.
Dealing with mismatched attributes between PopcornFX Editor and iClone due to the inability of *.pkfx format in preserving project level data.

Some particle effects have many attributes while others have less, how can one go about exposing them?
Some attributes are only accessible through PopcornFX Editor's scripting environment.
Curve sampler is still under development.

Fixing visual disparities between PopcornFX Editor and iClone for the same *pkproj file.

Because PopcornFX project level data is not included in the *.pkfx format for iClone.

Fixing visual disparities in iClone caused by scripting in PopcornFX Editor.

Scripting gives PopcornFX a great amount of freedom, but with this freedom comes a few pitfalls that users should be aware of.

Pending feature: Path Sampler for PopcornFX particle emitter.
