If its anything like the Indigo iclone renderer plugin, this Iray feature is going to suck!

I'm curious if we'd be able to create project exporters with the upcoming Python integration. I've got a copy of Machstudio Pro that I'd love to use with Iclone...

Intel Core i7-13700F - 32GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 TI. Iclone 8, Character Creator 4, Blender, Davinci Resolve studio, Fusion studio

At least according to what we've been told the initial Python availability (whenever it comes) will be *very* rudimentary, with only some basic object manipulations possible.  So, no, nothing even approaching project export for a LONG time (I'd guess we won't see very sophisticated exposure of the API for at least another year, if then).

Thanks for the heads up KT, 
I will put those thoughts on the back burner for awhile...

So, we already know the roadmap of iClone 7, but what I am interested in is what features will iClone 8 have? Will it be still iClone 8 or maybe 2019? I wonder

iClone 8 will have all the features of iClone 7 plus some new ones.

Per the CC3 WIP, Iray is coming 5/2018. That leaves just one week, so likely at this time next week, we will be Iraynians!

RL has no release date for the iray plugin yet
as little as the price of the plug-in.
If you refer to this date in CC 3 advertising:

This does not mean anything other than that WIP 1 will be released for CC 3 2018/5 (or has already been published); WIP 2 2018 / 6-7, etc. It is not a show date for iray

Also the hope that iray in CC 3 could have limited functions compared to Iclone will probably not be true.
RL clearly stated that the iray plug-in is a stand-alone plug-in that can be used with CC 3 for Iclone, CC 3 pipeline Edition and IClone.
There is nowhere that there will be different plugins with different functions..

Ah...I see...
So looking at the RoadMap for 2018 it shows Iray end of Q2, beginning Q3. Okay, so by June 14 then.

With the plugin itself, the hope is it will not be limited to a 5 slider tone mapper for visual editing. Where, Daz has 10 or so sliders for its tone mapper.

iClone has, with AO, HDR-Bloom, ToneMapper, IBL, and GI panel, some 20+ sliders to mod visuals. Then you add in LUTs.

Cc2 has IBL.

So, if we can use iClone's 20+, then on top of that use Iray's 5, then by this logic CC2 would be relegated to just Iray's 5.
So if this is the case in a situation with CC3, fine.

But if it merely exports out the flat mesh, lighting, and materials without these other visual augmentative possibilities included, then just 5 sliders is too little.
As someone who will be proud of my iClonian-Iraynian citizenship, 5 is too low. Need more visual augmentative sliders, like Daz!
