Reallusion has unveiled iClone 7, the next update to its real-time 3D character animation tool, with the new facial and morph animation tools, and real-time GI and PBR rendering. Designed for ease of use and integrating the latest real-time technologies, iClone 7 unifies the world of 3D Animation in an all-in-one production tool that blends character creation, animation, scene design and story direction into a real-time engine with artistic visual quality for unparalleled production speed and rendering power.

- New real-world cameras and camera rigs
Introduces a new real-world camera system into the software, enabling users to create shots with camera settings that mimic the aspect ratios and lens properties of real digital movie cameras.
- New morph animation system, updated facial animation and real-time mocap streaming
The iClone 7 update also introduces a new morph animation system. Morphs can be created in any DCC software – 3ds Max, Softimage and ZBrush – imported in OBJ format, and keyframed within iClone. Morph animation support has also been added to iClone’s Face Key editor, and the software’ Facial Puppet system has been updated, adding automatic secondary motion to eyelids. Users can also now stream facial motion data to a CG character in real-time, with support for Faceware Technologies’ Faceware Live markerless capture system.
- New PBR viewport and real-time global illumination
The update adds a PBR viewport – the video compares assets viewed in iClone 7 with 3D-Coat, Substance Painter and Marmoset Toolbag – with support for materials in Allegorithmic’s Substance format.
There is also a new real-time GI system with support for all of iClone’s native light types, plus the option to bake iClone scenes to HDRI images for use in image-based lighting set-ups.
