To share my experience, it was quite a rollercoaster:
Part 1:
I downloaded in IC8 @Data Juggler's Newton's Craddle prop, controlled by Python script.
https://marketplace.reallusion.com/newton's-cradleIt was working well in IC7, however in IC8 the Python script refused to load due to some error, even as I have all iC8 Python support installed. I wrote a message to Data Juggler who, very kind as always, replied immediately telling me he will check - thank you, Data Juggler.
Part 2:
I said "no problem" - so I loaded the prop and script in IC7, ran the script, and recorded animation. I applied the recording to a fresh, non-pythonized prop, everything went OK. Opened the IC8, placed the prop on a new project, but when I applied the recorded animation, the whole prop become packed, like all its sub-props lost their positions. Tried (with a slight hope) motion alignement setting, but no avail. Eventually, the workaround was following:
- created a fres IC7 project with the non-pythonized prop with applied recorded animation.
- opened this IC7 project in IC8 - was working OK this way.
- saved the animated prop as an IC8-one and then applied it to the real project
