Prop Transfer and Skin Bone Animation
Not only static props can be directly transferred from iClone to Unreal, props with skin bone animation can also Live Link to Unreal in real-time.

Update in iClone 7.8: SSS Shader for Accessories & Props
SSS shaders are enabled in iClone 7.8 for both props and accessories. You can find a new SSS Material Library which provides many translucent rendering such as jelly, glass, skin or soft plastics. Those SSS effects are also transferable to Unreal Engine.

A total of seven features have been added, and four issues have been fixed:

Added:

Supports CC3+ character base and compatible SkinGen settings with FBX pipeline and direct Live Link transfer (AutoSetup required).
Supports Digital Human Shader for eye elements such as tearline and occlusion mesh with FBX pipeline and direct Live Link transfer (AutoSetup required).
Supports direct transfer of Props and Non-Human Character to the Unreal Engine, with the ability to Live Link realtime animation.
Supports direct transfer of Light Shape and IES Light to Unreal Engine, with full parameter and texture mapping.
Supports Reallusion SSS Shader, Props, and Characters (AutoSetup required).
Supports parameter level Digital Human Shader compatibility via FBX pipeline or direct Live Link transfer (Auto Setup required).
iClone Soft Cloth Physics and Collision Mesh are now transferrable to Unreal Engine, with compatible NVIDIA PhysX cloth effects. These features are applicable both for FBX import and Live Link transfer.

Fixed

Unreal giving crash report after Live Link is installed and application is closed. (FT#6630)
Cook Content for Windows & Package Project fails when Live Link is active. (FT#6663)
Unreal crashing while transferring Spotlights from iClone.
DOF not syncing with Unreal 4.23 and 4.24. (FT#6782)
