iClone 8 Work in Progress III - Productivity & Performance | Modular Scene Manager
In this WIP III video, Reallusion demonstrates how iClone8 has significantly optimised real-time performance for editing 3D animation within large scenes. Including highly enhanced response time when it comes to selecting and toggling visibility of hundreds of items, along with a newly introduced static data type to double the rendering speed for static objects.
The Scene Manager’s new Collection feature allows one to organize assets into logical groupings, so they can be collectively shown and hidden, allowing for GPU load-balancing to render targeted objects at full-speed. Collections can also be easily transformed and duplicated, allow for instanced material adjustments and merging of selected assets from other projects.
Whether working collaboratively or remotely, every pro studio and indie developer can benefit from the performance upgrades in iClone 8, including the ability to seamlessly merge multiple projects and also benefit the performance of Live Link across multiple applications.

Can Iclone create cities, landscapes like the one in the video????? or copy cities and landscapes from videos and already made images. that would be dope! Blender kind of has this.

I think we're all eager to get our hands on the next generation of animation software. When I first read Peter's title for this post I was so excited I didn't even notice the "WIP", lol
They advertised "Spring of 2022" and here we are! Is there a more focused timeframe for when in Spring?

I already gave them my money. I even bought an RTX 3090 in anticipation of the big day.

Can you already use it like a Beta?

You may have seen Peter remind us that Spring officially ends in June.
Nobody knows when iClone/CC will be ready... not even the developers!!

The RT3090 is at least 4 times faster than my old 1080 ti. I wonder how it will perform with the new software.

Will iclone 8 and Cc4 let us sculpt or rig our own characters?

The "collections" feature is a big improvemnet on the old "plug in" but to make it easier and faster would it not be be possible to arrange items by DRAG & DROP instead of having to open a panel to "send it" to required 'collection' which by the way is more commonly refferred to as grouping in other software. ?

No. In CC4 you will be able to heavily modify existing characters from almost any source but not build a character from scratch.

This all looks so wonderful, I think I bought the previous version at the right time to really learn a lot about the software, and i hope this version is even better. one thing I'm not seeing anything on is if there is going be anything new for sky options? I still haven't figured out how to get a good sky loaded in, eery option seems either really limited, or only works lo res

When you say heavily modify, do you just mean in rigging, or do you mean like applying the slider function to outside models to change the characters look (instead of just modifying expression sliders and such)

Hello, always excited for all of these features for iClone 8 but are we going to be able to change the size of a character in the timeline? This feature is available on Daz and Poser pro, and was usefull for all of my fantasy projects when I worked on these softwares in the past.
Now I work with iClone which is better for many others features and can't go back with Daz or Poser pro. But I really miss the "size feature in the timeline for characters" and don't understand why we have this kind of "limitation" in an animation software.

This is possible in Iclone either. I did id allready accidently

Please, reassure me, with iClone 8, this bug does not exist anymore ;)
Otherwise, I'm looking forward to iClone 8, to finally have a layer support ( and a real IK system )

I love it... kinda reminds me of Carrara Pro 8.5. With Carrara you can also group items... and the simplicity reminds me of MovieMaker :-)
Will you also be able to hide items on the timeline?

Hi Peter, what machine configuration do you use on PEAK PRODUCTION PERFORMANCE

You can already attach a character body to a CC3 body and hide the CC3 mesh and even export deleting the old CC3 mesh but once this is done it can't be edited further in CC3. However CC4 might allow you to bring that character back for more mods etc.
Additionally using a custom body you can also apply cloth physics to the skin if you painted maps for it. in order to get your custom character to work with a CC3 body, your character should be sculpted to fit the same shape and have the same pose, then you set the body as clothing and modify the skin weights if needed.
About rigging more body parts, this is a request I've asked for and the ability to retarget characters that have multi-part seta like 4 arms, 2 heads etc that could be re-mapped for mocap but they haven't made anything public about this yet if they're going to pursue it or not.
As the program becomes more aligned to professional animation/mocap and film/CG solutions, I feel they are heading in this direction, or they will need to for flexibility.

Hi...
A system with a recent mid range or higher graphic card should be capable of generating the scenes shown in video. As always video memory is important so having 6GB or more on board will really help with larger scenes. The key points raised in the video is that iClone 8 provides performance enhancing features to allow building larger scenes and have multiple characters in those scenes.

Say are y'all ever going to release iClone 8? I thought it was planned for release this Spring? Only a few more weeks left and I haven't heard any news on iClone 8 in months.

Ah, nice! Thanks man...I've really been looking forward to it. Say if I had some animations from my game and I needed to modify them will it be possible to import those animations and tweak them in iClone 8?

This may have already been addressed (if so please feel free to point me to the post) Does anybody know if the iclone 8 update will have an update package for those of us who already purchased iclone 7, (I have Iclone 7, character creator 3.4 / 3d exchange, Curve Editor/ and the related bundle packages before the iclone 8 offer was available.) I would love to have the upgrade but I already purchased all the items separately, do anybody know if they will be offering an upgrade package for those of us who have already purchased Iclone 7 bundles in parts? (...I'd gladly pay a little extra for the upgrade.)

If you already have iClone 7 and CC3, then you can upgrade to iClone 8 and CC4 for a discounted price upon release. For any plug-ins you purchased for iClone 7 and CC3, you will get free upgrades to to the iClone 8 and CC4 versions. Any content packs you purchased for iClone 7 and CC3 will still be usable in iClone 8 and CC4.

iClone 8 will support import of animations in FBX and BVH formats. You can then edit them in iClone 8 and re-export if required.

Thank you!!! I've been trying to find information regarding this for awhile - Like most of us - I have been waiting on this upgrade - I'll stay glued to this forum for any and all update info moving forward!!
