It would be good if Iclone could render image sequences with the actual frame number instead of starting at 0001 etc..
Consider this:
I'm doing an 1800 frame png sequence export at 25fps. 
I hit export - Iclone starts rendering and saving (it says around 750 frames total)
Midway iclone 6 AP has crashed errror pops up.

I restart iclone and check last frame rendered.
Hit render from the next frame onward ...
Iclone starts saving new renders all the way from 0001 again.

I have to manually - well semi automatically - rename files with a batch renaming utility.

Request 2:
Can we have Wireframe render mode?
I read that earlier versions had wireframe mode if you chose Quick Preview render. I can't find that option in iClone 6 Pro.

Regards.

It has been close to 2 years since I passionately argued and posted the issue about this image sequence problem.  Many updates later, I am yet to see just "2 lines of code modification" to resolve this problem.
I still wonder how can a great software like ICLONE have such a basic problem  and how it could not be resolved even after so many updates !!!

Ok, I found the wireframe render option in iclone 6.
Modify panel -->Display-->Render State:

Looks beautiful too!https://forum.reallusion.com/uploads/images/c5effbc6-6acb-481b-821b-8fb5.jpg
and here's the stereo composite (if you have red-cyan 3d glasses)

I was surprised to discover this issue when I started learning Iclone a few months ago. The only logical reason is probably because most people rendered to video with Iclone so it was never an issue for the majority of iclone users. Hope this gets fixed.

For  a sample scene like below each frame has to be rendered thrice and then precomposed in Photoshop with 6-7 passes.
Now imagine if the sequence rendering breaks inbetween and the next rendering starts  naming the files again from 0 ?

This has been requested numerous times.

Thank you for the feedback. This has been passed to the iClone team for consideration. Smile
