Yeah --- Same for me as with Colonel_Klink, Postfrosch and DroneMaster - ie: importing either .fbx or .obj files into iClone 7.6 via "File" > "Import" results in that message. Likewise, when "draging" an fbx or obj file directly into the work-space area results in the same message ..... namely "This feature is available in 3DXchange Pipeline. You can either install 3DXchange Pipeline or purchase a copy of 3DXchange Pipeline." I have 3DXchange 7.5 Pro installed ...

Dear iCloners,


Reallusion iClone team has inspected this problem, and confirmed that "iClone 7.6 users with 3Dxchange Pro can not import fbx files" is a bug.

We will release an urgent patch (v7.61) to fix the bug ASAP we can.

(It might be released in the early next week)

You can not import obj files directly to Iclone 7.6. Here, too, comes the message that this 3dx pipeline version is necessary.
For all "only 3dxpro users" just annoying.
Would not it go without a patch for a patch?

Much appreciated, Tony. This will make life a lot easier.  A couple of questions, however. Will this ability to import obj and fbx include the ability to apply smoothing as we can in 3DX, and other model editing features we have in 3DX?

if I can add my grain of salt, I would add that I have found that if it is possible to import FBX files with 3DXchange Pipeline it is only possible for FBX files containing a character or an object, but if this FBX contains only one motion it does not work. The FBX is well processed by iClone without giving any error, but in the motion track there is nothing.
would it be possible to treat it as an iMotion and apply it to the character on which it is dropped.

Of course for a drag and drop into iClone, to be beneficial from bypassing 3DX, is to have the "UI setting" work. It's not a must but not everything imports all flawlessly or not needing some customization.

An urgent patch (v7.61) was already released to fix the following bugs.

• Failed to import OBJ, FBX for iClone 7.6 users with 3DXchange 7 PRO.
• iClone crashed when executing Modify > Save Material Plus, and then selecting materials with linked textures.

Hi Tony
thanks for this Patch

Direct import of obj / fbx files to Iclone works fine now
