iClone is a tool that uses real-time game engine technology to enable users to create their own machinima movies and, in our case, this is ideal as a pre-vis tool. With iClone Version 5.5, your character animation pipeline is finally complete! The New MotionPlus format allows you to easily save all of your facial, body, accessory, spring and constraint data all into a single MotionPlus file so that it can be reused and reapplied to other characters. In addition, you're now able to customize your own landscapes with the height map terrain, directly in iClone!
