Hello,
I am trying to generate a custom path for use in iClone for a character to follow.  I have a list of points that define the path the the character will need to follow.  This list of points can be saved into any convenient file format such as text, csv or any  other format.  The question I have is if there is a specific demands on that format and what is the procedure to import that data as a path into iClone.  If there is a specific link that explains this process, that would be great.  Thanks in  advance for any help anyone can give on this.

There is no option to directly import a set of coordinates to define a path at the moment. 

The only way I can think of would be to write a Python routine, but I don't see a function that supports that.

You can find more about the Python API here: https://wiki.reallusion.com/IC8_Python_API.

Here is a suggestion: using the API you should be able to create and place props as markers according to the coordinates of your path and then you could shape the path according to those markers.

Thanks animagic,

I will look at the IC8_Python_API link that you have supplied.  I appreciate you prompt response.  Thanks!
