March 11th, 2013Full Facial Animation for Non-standard Characters:
· Thanks to all these cool new updates, iClone5 is gradually becoming the ideal tool for any 3D content creator searching to work outside of G3 and G5 standards. With the new 5.4 version update, once you have finished facial mapping in 3DXchange then you may freely lip-sync Non-standard Characters with Facial Puppet and Face Key Editting tools in iClone.
Unique Behaviors through Custom Expression Data:
· If you fully map the facial animation data with the Expression Editor in 3DXchange, then you can quickly puppet animate your character with the default profiles in iClone. In addition, you can custom puppet via the unique 3DX_Custom Face Profile stored in your character.
Look At & Auto Blink for Non-standard Characters:
· In version 5.4, you are free to set look-at commands to Non-standard characters. Moreover, the new auto blinking system provides you with four different types of blinks which allow your characters to behave more naturally.
Viseme Strength Tuning:
· With Viseme strength tuning, you can simply use the slider to adjust the characters lip-sync strength to get appropriate results such as a more gentle or exaggerated way of talking, to best fit the character's personality.
New G5 Talking Heads for Better Lip-sync & Tongue Movement:
· In the new updates we have prepared two new G5 talking heads (Chuck and Gwynn), both with better lip-syncs and add-on tongue movements for more vivid talking animations. Take a look at the video to experience the difference.
View Bone Mode & Edit IK for Extended Bones:
· Before iClone5.4, you were not able to directly select bones for further editing. But with this new update you are able to manipulate animated skin-bone props and extend bones mapped in 3DXchange. You can now turn on the bone viewer to select the bones you need to animate with the IK motion layer tool. Moreover, the Bone Preview Settings allow you to adjust bone sizes, colors and opacity.
Spring Multi-track for Natural Movement:
· In iClone5.4, you can access the spring multi-track settings in the Timeline. You may set the status key to turn ON/OFF the spring effects, or determine when to key frame them, or when to use spring dynamics.
Motion Modify to Increase Motion Varieties & Posture:
· The slider control allows you to easily modify any character motion in your timeline. Just like the adjustments in the Motion Puppet, you can freely adjust different body part movements with different slider controls. Use this feature to fix any motion posture issue, or to alter the same motion for various looks.
Motion Layer for Props:
· Motion layers are no longer restricted to characters! Now all props can benefit from this non-destructive layering track which provides much more flexibility when it comes to customizing your animations.
Custom Spring Effects for Props:
· Adding spring effects is a quick way to make your prop animation a lot more life-like without custom key frame efforts. Now you can determine when to use automatic spring dynamics and when to apply manual animation editing.
Other Enhancements:
· Enhanced: Allow Expand / Collapse for all bone structure trees inside Edit Motion Layer. Also provide a quick way to show / hide hierarchy trees by pressing Ctrl + plus mouse click on sub tree.

November 7th, 2011Seamless Motion Connection:
· The MixMoves (motion graph) system consists of hundreds of well-calculated, daily motions for top mocap quality. The system automatically generates natural transitions between previously selected motions for male or female actors. Its motion graph technology presents a general framework for human motion states to blend together, seamlessly. Storytellers simply need to select target motions under different states such as standing idle, sitting, kneeling or lying down. It then automatically sequences motions and blends them together in a natural, believable manner.
Body Motion Puppeteering:
· You may use a mouse or any other handheld device to create an unlimited number of motion variations to reflect your character's personality. Users may select body parts and add puppet behaviors while they control their animations during playback or real-time recording. You may also manually control the puppeteering speed and direction, or let the animation loop with slider alterations. Animators are now able to create frequent motion alternatives with 55 different male & female puppet profiles found in 4 categories.
Human IK Motion Editing:
· Licensed from Autodesk, the same core technology of Motion Builder for human motion control; iClone5 meets the highest standards of human bone structure and motion editing systems. Using Human IK as the core character engine allows your 3D characters to now have automatic floor contact while the intuitive real-time IK motion control keeps a proper body balance. Props also have motion controls with flexible motion adaptations such as holding a gun with both hands, or advanced person-to-person interactions such as shaking hands
Prop Puppet & Look At:
· Use a mouse to freely control the movement, rotation, or scale of a prop and record its animation in real-time for authentic movement. With the Prop Puppet panel you will be able to simulate different object movements by using prop animation profiles to further customize movement, rotation or scale; with different X, Y, Z parameters.
Rigid Body:
· Rigid body dynamics enable you to simulate objects with a high degree of realism such as fall, collide and bounce. All these movements are controlled by physics properties such as mass, elasticity, friction, damping, impulse, collisions, constraints and others. You may even add rigid body physics to any prop or character in order to add another dimension of interactivity between subjects.
Soft Body:
· Soft body dynamics focus on realistic physical simulations that deform whole objects and singular planes such as clothes. Animations are now incredibly life-like as objects can accurately represent their elastic properties like rubber, squashed balls or jelly puddings. You may even simulate cloth effects, from a singular plane, with different material stiffness such as silk, linen or any other materials that will be affected by air resistance.
Visualization & Game Prototyping:
· With the smart physics engine you are now able to correctly simulate formulas and concepts for use in math, physics, astronomy or any other real-world applications. With the live Prop Puppet controls and interaction, you can easily develop prototype games with marbles, pinballs, bowling balls and others.
Ambient Occlusion:
· Ambient occlusion is a newly added shading method in iClone5 which helps add realism to models and scenes. It enhances edge shadows by simulating the attenuation of light due to occlusion. Ambient occlusion simply attempts to approximate the way light radiates in real life, especially off what are normally considered non-reflective surfaces.
Post FX & Toon Shading:
· Cartoon rendering and cell shading allows animators to create a flat-looking 3D image with a cartoonish look, typically exemplified in artistically animated movies. With enhanced post FX rendering options, iClone5 users can render and create key-able visual effects like blur lens, sketch or black & white. This allows for a wide range of amazing post effects that transform any 3D animation into top-notch, studio art motions.
Lighting Multiplier:
· The Light Multiplier enlarges the range of brightness of lighting effects. This multiplier provides room for an artist to turn ordinary animations into uniquely stylish ones.
Camera Gizmo & PIP View:
· The camera gizmo and the PIP view turn iClone5 into a professional photography & film studio. The camera gizmo allows you to easily control multiple cameras with visible positions, while providing you with a clear range of camera views and depths of field. You may then use the PIP view to observe your subjects between preview and custom camera mode.
Multiple Duplicate:
· iClone5 allows you to quickly duplicate objects by simply entering a number. Once duplicated, you may optionally transform, rotate or scale your objects at the same time just as if you wish to create a set stairs.
Enhanced Pivot:
· The fully flexible Pivot Editing system allows you to assign different object positions as pivots, so that you can easily create rolling wheels or rotating doors.
Height Map Terrain:
· The height map terrains inside iClone5 are five times larger, and have faster loading times than in previous versions. With the enhanced detail maps, you may now enjoy high quality visual performances when zooming in and out.
G5 Essential Standard Characters:
· The new generation of iClone characters provides a higher polygon count for head meshes which result in better facial expressions with natural head shapes. The new characters also contain 3D teeth for more realistic talking performances. IClone G5 characters have consistent motion bones for better motion controls. Additional chest bones can now emulate realistic breathing with proportional chest contractions.
G5 Cartoon Character (Gorf):
· New cartoon characters like Gorf have the same character bones of other standard character which allow you to apply any motions, and make further IK/FK motion adjustments. In addition, the characters contain an advanced LUA script controller that allows you to puppeteer exaggerated facial expressions like eyelid rolling, pupil dilation and even ear rotation!
Height Map Terrain & Prop:
· Now its easy to create large and highly-detailed terrain maps without slowing down your computer, thanks to iClone5's new and improved calculations. Users can easily create vast landscapes with tons of detailed props by simply multiplying the same objects with the duplicate system. There are 5 new map terrains and 32 rock elements that can be used in 4 different styles.
Smart Props with LUA Script:
· Smart iProp now adopt the new Lua (lightweight multi-paradigm programming) language for game-like prop interaction. Lua is described as a "multi-paradigm" language, which is commonly used in many game companies. With Lua, you may easily manipulate an object with the use of a control panel.
