Hi, I'm Antwon. I'm about to buy iClone 7 with 3dx change now, but I see 2 versions and I don't know what to get, I'm confused by the pipeline version which is over $500+. What I need is to use iClone for animations, because I mainly use Daz 3d as work flow. Can I import characters from daz to 3dx change  animate in iClone and export back into daz studio to continue my project? Or I'm forced to buy pipeline to do this? I'm not to clear what pipeline is for. Please help me before I make a bad purchase please.. Thanks so much.... All help is highly appreciated.
iClone 7 PRO Bundle or iClone 7 Animation Pipeline

You can compare the versions here: https://www.reallusion.com/iclone/download.html#package-and-pricing

The main difference is:
Pipeline can import your models. You can change and animate them in iClone. And the export the animated models (as FBX, ABC...) back to another software ex Daz(got FBX import issues)/Unity/Blender...
Pro can import your models. You can change and animate them in iClone. But you can only export OBJ without animations.

So you need the pipleline version to do what you want.

Do you need iClone 7 pipeline in order to use 3dExchange pipline for exports, r will iClone 7 work?

The iClone 7 Animation Pipeline bundle includes 3DXchange 7 Pipeline which is needed to be able to export out content to FBX, OBJ and BVH. iClone 7 on its own can't export out content. You need to have 3DXchange 7 Pipeline to enable the iClone 7 export options.

Thanks Peter.  I'm just now getting in to all this, so it's confusing to a newbie.  I purchased the iClone 7 (not pipeline) along with the Character Creator 7 pipeline.  My goal is to export and bring in to my video editing software, Pinnacle Studio 23U to create videos with the iClone animation/characters.  The only other thing I'm not sure about is if the iClone characters have a alpha channel/transparent background I can use my keyer with in my video software.  Thanks again.  I must have 20 plus hours of tutorial watching so far this week. LOL  Never mind.  Did some more "viewing" and I can export as an MP4 AND apply a green screen via the Project Settings > Background.  PERFECT.
