Id say if your looking to do high end stuff then maybe take a look at iray render, think its around 100 dollars??? 
But you get a more polished look. Much much better than the standard render in iclone

Or you can look into Unreal. Thats free but has a drawback where if u buy reallusion marketplace items, you HAVE TO BUY EXPORT LICENSE and these are a lot more expensive.

It is possible to export a character from CC3 with a pose as an .obj file if Stager can accept that format.

Another option would be to render a .PNG with transparent background. Open the Project Settings panel from Edit > Project Settings:

https://forum.reallusion.com/uploads/images/8fe851eb-82c9-4d7e-ada9-34e0.png

Scroll down to 2D Background make sure that the Background colour is set to Black and that "Activate Image" is not selected. Then select Render > Render Image and set the resolution for the file.

What you would do is set up your scene to your liking in iClone. You can use multiple characters and scene props; the limit is determined by your system.
You can then add and adjust lighting, just as you would on a real-life stage.
Once you're stratified you can then render the scene to an image (JPG, BMP, PNG, TGA) or, in case of animation to a video format.
Others have used iClone for book covers and even graphic novels.



As animagic said you can export in many different formats.

By the way, there is a campaign for iClone8.
You can shop accordingly.

Yes, you can do these and much more with iClone. (It's paid), you can also do it with the Unreal Engine, which is free.
However, as far as I can see strager remotely is a somewhat simple program.
So for other programs you will need to learn a little more.
As a learning line, iClone is a little easier.
You may need to spend a little more time learning the Unreal Engine.
But if you plan to deal with these things all the time, it would be better to start somewhere.
Strager is a complete waste of time.
You can check out the videos of the programs I mentioned.


I really appreciate your reply and information. Do you know if I can export an expendable PNG on the free trial version of Iclone? If not can you point me to a link that tells how much it would cost after the trial version is over because I only have a few days left? I have tried to look for a price but cannot find it.

I have a few free days left for IClone. Can I create a scene like mentioned before and export it as a PNG for Photoshop? I am not designing for an animation or game, it is a design for a book cover.

I can't comment because I don't have Adobe Strager program, but many people are not satisfied with Adobe Strager.
Adobe Stranger is more of a starter program. It is not a professional program.
Frankly, I can recommend you to use iClone or Unreal engine instead.
After all, you are likely to experience these problems every time.


Can IClone be a stager too? Meaning you can import multiple 3d items liked a Pinnace and 7 different characters... and export them all together as a scene PNG?

No, Omniverse is free. After you become a member, install the omniverse program. Then install the Character Creator plugin from its own HUB.

Yes, I got it to work, but when I import character into Adobe Stager, they are still all white. See the image below. Is there still something I am doing wrong?
