Releasing Hardware Resources for Iray Rendering with Minimal Render Mode

In order to improve iClone's overall performance, we have provided a Minimal mode as a preference option. The Minimal mode can release the entire texture memory allocated in iClone's viewport, allowing Iray to utilize the most GPU memory for speeding up rendering.
  • New Minimal mode under Preference > Real-time Render Options:
    • Toggle from the toolbar or the drop-down list from preferences.
    • This mode decreases Vram usage to the bare minimal.
    • Reduces iClone max texture sizes to 1 pixel. 
    • Deactivates all real-time render effects.

Accelerate Render Speeds up to 6X with Full-Screen Render.
  • Full Screen Render in the iClone render panel can improve render times by forcing the render to expand to full-screen. The smaller your iClone render viewport is, the more evident the speed improvements become.
  • You can access this option under Render (Panel) > Render Acceleration (Section).
  • Full path: Render > Render Acceleration > Optimize with Full-Screen Render (default: Off).

Function Re-design for Color Banding Removal

Due to the addition of the static noise post effect for iClone 7.3, exported images with alpha included (ex: png, tga, etc.) tended to have dirtied backdrops or blocky artifacts.
https://forum.reallusion.com/uploads/images/66fd17e8-8169-4b10-a94e-a189.png

Therefore the Visual (Panel) > Post Effect > Static Noise (Smooth Color Banding) .iEffect was removed 
from the Default Project and Clone Render (Panel) > Render Quality has added two additional check-boxes.
https://forum.reallusion.com/uploads/images/50c45597-be3e-4ac9-b375-e923.png

https://forum.reallusion.com/uploads/images/0b4302eb-b9d5-474c-b4af-18f8.png

1. Render > Include Glow Effect in Alpha (default: Off)
  • When activated, the glow effect is included in the alpha channel.  By default, this option is disabled.
  • This option can be enabled to include the glow effect in the background for the likes of characters.  
  • Disable this option if you want a crisp clear backdrop.
Include Glow Effect in Alpha: Off
https://forum.reallusion.com/uploads/images/8531b049-6447-491c-8e4f-7970.png

Include Glow Effect in Alpha: On
https://forum.reallusion.com/uploads/images/d223c23b-74bf-4a83-9a75-f6d4.png
Note: In order to see the glow clearly, the image above is layered onto a black background and does not resemble the actual rendered image.



2. Render > Reduce Color Banding with Noise (default: Off)
  • The Static Noise (Smooth Color Banding) post effect has been removed from the Default Project.  This option has been relocated to Render > Reduce Color Banding with Noise.
  • When enabled, this function will add a static noise effect.  By default, this option is OFF.
  • This function is used to remove color banding.
Reduce Color Banding with Noise: Off
https://forum.reallusion.com/uploads/images/7387a42a-5586-44fa-8e03-4ec7.png
Note: Color banding in the example above was enhanced for better observation.

Reduce Color Banding with Noise: On

https://forum.reallusion.com/uploads/images/de199f64-ebb5-423f-99d6-d75e.png


Important: An image exported with both Include Glow Effect in Alpha and Reduce Color Banding with Noise set to on will include a glowing noise backdrop.  You should turn both options off to achieve a clean and clear background.

Include Glow Effect in Alpha: On
Reduce Color Banding with Noise: On

Import Daz Poses to iClone & CC via Split into Poses Function

New Split into Poses function can be used to bring Daz poses quickly into iClone and Character Creator.  Once multiple poses are strung together in a single FBX motion file, one can utilize 3DXchange 7.4 Split into Poses functionality to break it up into RL motion still frames.

BVH & FBX Motion Conversion Fixes

Updated 3DXchange 7 BVH and FBX profiles for Daz G2, G3, G8 motions.
  • The primary purpose is to bring Daz motion into iClone via the .bvh and .fbx format and still have the motions match.
  • Fixed different generations of Daz based profiles like G2, G3, and G8 in 3DXchange such as initial shoulder and thumb positioning for the T-pose.
  • The program will designate the use of the correct .fbxProfile according to the data within the file.
  • Daz4 BVH profile is located in: iClone 3DXchange 7\3DX template\TPose\
  • Daz4 FBX profile is located in: iClone 3DXchange 7\3DX template\AutoConvertNonStd\
Daz G2 character shoulder conversion bug fixed for 3DXchange 7.4:
