Pretty much all of us with iC7 CC3 and UE4 have it and use it.  It is a good investment initially, and becomes even more valuable as you become more advanced.

I tend to use Unreal Cine Cameras because they are so easy to control and create in Sequencer once you get the hang of it. I try to send as little as possible from iClone to Unreal to keep things running smoothly.

I've been getting my head into it and you are all quite right, once you start with Unreal there's no going back! I wonder though, do you all stick with the camera control via Iclone? I've started playing with the camera control in Unreal and am seeing potential for much smoother control. Just need to get my head around sequence editor using that work flow. 

Thanks Bassline, you're an inspiration! I can't reccomend enough the Unreal Tips & Tricks for those who really want to take advantage of the Live Link.

iClone Live LinkUnreal Tips & Tricks

@bernierao

Super cool and funny Video ,  and crazy ideas ... like that very much :)

If you want cinematic results with iClone, getting the 3DXchange pipeline is a no brainer. It's very well designed and enginered. I'm developing a series and the 3DXchange has been an amazing tool to have. I can throw a lot of animations into iClone via 3DXchange, tweak them, and get them to Unreal (via live link or FBX)

I mainly use iClone + 3DXchange to tweak animations I capture with my Rokoko suit but I keep finding new uses for the iClone/3DXchange. So IMO the pipeline version is worth the money you pay!

Here's the latest short I made using the live link with iClone.

hi Bassline303


you got me hooked, well done.

I only download it an few day ago, I have a lot to learn.

great work, keep it up

haha , it's so much fun to play with ... :D:D:D
on the right you can see the fps and used memory....

If it renders so fast is it really heavy on system resources? VRAM I'm thinking of most! Especially since the renders seem so sharp.

In my opinion the combination of IClone , CC3 , 3dxchange & Unreal is fantastic.
Unreal is the fastest renderer I know.
