iClone v7.2 (7.2.1220.1) released on Dec. 21th, 2017

Dear iCloners,

Your long-awaited PopcornFX particles solution has finally arrived, and it is really worth the wait for this spectacular iClone VFX upgrade!
In order to make particle lighting really attractive, we have enhanced iClone 7.2 with detailed Bloom and Glow settings. From now on, you won’t get fuzzy halos around a distant glowing object. And you will be able to fine-tune and blend its blur-out levels via a list of control sliders.

HDR & Glow Enhancements   More >

  • Advanced HDR Settings 
The HDR Bloom effect has been vastly improved for iClone 7.2.  From this point forward, old projects can revel in better accumulative bloom effect without sacrificing the finer details.  
  • Advanced Glow Settings 
Previously, the glow effect was created by blurring the onscreen pixels of the glow texture channel.  This technique is limited when it comes to adjusting the range of the glow effect. Therefore, the glow does not retain the sharpness of the luminescent texture, and the lack of details become quite severe when the camera is pulled away or zoomed out.



PopcornFX Particle Plug-in   
 More >

This plug-in is a must-have component for all your particle creation and customization projects. And with the free embedded 5 Particle building tools, sample projects, and learning resources, you may create limitless VFX without the need to touch one line of code inside iClone. Check out the product page!

Thank you guys for wonderful release. I am yet to go through the exciting PopcornFX plugin.

But meantime I have checked the list of fixes for the iClone and noticed 2 "bullets" with the reference to the 2 of my entries in FT.
I immediately went to check them out.
The one with changing Physics state on a timeline was indeed fixed (as I see it was "Assigned" in FT).

But sorry to report, the issue with the torso keys... This one:
  • Some projects experience the loss of Torso track keys when the dope sheet keys of the Motion Layer Track is moved. Feedback Tracker / Video
is still not fixed. I opened the very same project referenced as a video link above, and the problem persists. It is exactly the same way it was before the update.
I was a bit surprised to see this fix, since FT tracker entry still says "Active".
