I want to create 3D image for Facebook. Is there any way to render a depthmap in iClone ? 
Please suggest a way to do it. Thanks in advance.

If I am correctly understanding what you are asking, I would try this:

Remove or turn off all lights in a scene, and uncheck Activate IBL under the Visual tab. In short, remove or turn off anything that will emit any light; your scene should be pitch black (as far as models are concerned; if you don't have a sky, that part will still be the default color [usually gray]).

Under the Visual tab again, check Fog On. The distance is set by default at Start: 10,000, and End: 20,000. I would change this; you will have to play with it to get the effect you want, but I would begin with Start: 1 and End: 100,000, and tweak from there. You should begin to see the effect that you are looking for. 

I hope this helps.

Best,
Terry

Thanks!

Hi, i had the same question and found a really easy way to create depth maps with iClone, using the Iray preview renderer.

Here is a scene that i loaded in iClone.

33% of original size (was 1536x1024) - Click to enlarge

In the Iray render options only Depth is selected



It quickly renders a nice depth map.

Hope that anyone finds this useful, too :)
