Will there be an Update for 3DXchange to import directly into IC8?  

I agree, it would be very helpful! Going via iClone 7 is frustrating right now.

The most recent 3dxchange supports iClone 8 formats, so maybe there is already an option to “send to iClone 8” and I can’t find it lol

Everything (almost) that 3Xchange could do has been folded into CC4 and IC8, so there will be no 3DXchange update.

You can import OBJ and FBX props directly into iClone. For FBX characters, you would use CC, but I sometimes also use CC for props as it always to split parts of a mesh into sub-props (if the model allows for it).

3DXchange has been discontinued so there will be no further updates. As Animagic already explained, the features of 3DXchange are now integrated between iClone 8 and CC4 so everything you could do in 3DXchange you can now do in iClone 8 and CC4.

Thanks Peter

I’m also finding the new extensions to the iClone Python api in iclone 8. So so many possibilities!

Hi @mrtobycook

Here you can find all the listed Python API for iClone, and we welcome any idea to help us perfect this sheet.

I am also in search of new iClone plugins, so please check your private message box with my email, and lets keep the conversation rolling ;-)
Thanks!
