"One can do more than previz with iClone and it's actually being done, but to each his/her own. Render improvements are always welcome obviously, although it doesn't guarantee better movies. "

I agree with animagic: there seems to be no limit to the precision pixel-tweaking in the render wars.

But when you ask someone to look at what you have done, you are talking about a movie that tells a story. No matter how crude the rendition; if the movie works then the story works. 

Name one professional studio that uses iClone internal real-time render engine for movies, only one, because I know of none, it is very amateurish to believe that render quality is not important, it is, even the cheapest 3D TV shows have volumetric explosions and other visual goodies, real-time rendering is the future, RL needs to get on the bandwagon or they will be left with only games studios, or maybe this is what they want?

In the mean time I will still use iClone for character animation, but do everything else in another package!

I never said that render quality is not important.

Also, to me individual creators can be professionals (it doesn't have to be a studio).

It's looking very much like Reallusion are attempting to create a "Clarisse" type app. Nothing wrong with that, anything that gives us more options has to be a good thing. I just wonder how long, after the update release,  will it take to fix all the known and "new" bugs. To be fair, apart from the black ibl bakes, the latest version is stable and I've not had a crash for months, touch wood.




Homebuilt computer - Windoze 10, INTEL i9 9900 k @ 5.1 GHz, EVGA RTX 2080 TI XC ULTRA, 16GB 3100 MHz RAM, Asus  Maximus Hero XI motherboard, Sound blaster Z series. iClone6 & 7 Pipeline, Crazytalk 8, Crazytalk Animator 2, Facefilter, Pop video 3, Hitfilm 4Pro, Cubase 8.5 Pro,

Yo, same here... (i did not update to 7.22, cause i don't use "motion live" yet)
In the past i always had moments coming in the studio at morning just to see my render crashed at night.
Did not happen for a long time now...

Hi, I would like to know if the mocha add-on is the right one to animate characters in a real environment recorded with a 4k camera and if there is an approximate idea of ​​date of availability and price. Thank you

Unfortunately due to technical issues found during development we don't currently have a release time frame for this plug-in.
