Hi all, I'm pretty new to using Iclone but I have a game character the I want to apply ragdoll effects for an animation where he is thrown across the room as part of a cutscene in engine (unity). Ive followed some youtube clips but there are for iclone 5 and not sure if they are the same or if iclone 7 as a different method (the different menus make it tricky too). Any advice or tips would be appreciated. Andy

This is just thinking about this, as I would find it useful as well.
You would have to make a boneless version of that character, turn it into a prop.
Make certain parts of the body more rigid to keep its volume. eg: More loose with the elbows but more rigid with the length of the arms.
Add obstacles, turn on physics and watch em fly?

Interesting.
But how would you make some body parts more rigid and some more loose?
Can you achieve that using IC Physics engine?

I'm gonna bet a dollar the poster used Endorphin to do that.
It's a program that's no longer for sale.

on topic:
since your going to use unity you could use the ragdoll wizard,
you can still put together the main animation in iclone

There are no free options for ragdoll animations in iclone except perhaps warlords ragdolls from the iclone version 5 days. You could buy this plug-in for Unity and the bvh export plug-in if you needed frequent ragdoll enough to justify the costs.

When I try to click the link, it goes to an empty Marketplace page.
Now that I see it better, I cannot access the marketplace at all. No matter what I press, I always end up in this page. Weird..!!

Have you tried uusing another browser? Like firefox?

By Lamias - 7 Years Ago

Yes, both firefox and chrome!!
Anyway I don't wanna hijack this post, it is an interesting subject. I will figure it out.
Thanks!!

Thanks for the replies, some interesting ideas there. I think my best solution as mentioned would be to use unity ragdoll on top of normal animations made in Iclone. I mainly use Iclone for Cutscene animations and Voice over/lip syncing the characters, so I need to improve in animation making quite a bit and then I would maybe be able to make decent falling animations in key frame within Iclone.

I will keep working on this I think I can make it happen with some fancy bone editing in Blender.

Hi, Has anyone done this ,could I remove the bones in iclone/3dxchange or would it have to be another program?

Actually, I think the best/easiest way to do this now is use the free bone plugin-in thingee RL released a week or two ago. It looks like it would work perfectly (you just need to figure out the rig).
One of these days I may get around to trying it out, but once *someone* has figured it out we ought to be able to share it. It should make it easy to just throw around any iClone character and have it behave properly (more or less).

I second Kelleytoons, the free 'Spring Joints' plug-in might be able to help here.
Of course i find this very interesting too, and will try it if i can find some time :)
