NEW Reallusion iClone 7

Virtual Production with Cinematic Visuals & Expert Animation

“A Tour de Force that is Unmatched in the Industry” Jeff Jasper - Oscar-winning team member/FX Supervisor ‘Interstellar’

07-21-17 - San Jose, CA - Reallusion releases iClone 7, the biggest update ever in the iClone

real-time 3D evolution. This giant leap empowers iClone users with the latest PBR/GI visuals,

unlimited creation for 3D characters, professional animation for morph and curve editing, real

camera system, as well as several significant technology integrations with industry leaders.

iClone 7 is now a virtual production platform with community inclusive tools and massive

aggregation of real-time content, empowering indie filmmakers, pro studio crews, previs / VFX

teams, writers, directors, animators, advertisers and anyone that wishes to quickly turn their

vision into a reality.

Comparing to game engines enhanced with cinematic timelines, iClone 7 is much easier to start

or include into an existing production pipeline as there is no need to have specific game

development knowledge or coding capabilities.

Intuitive Character Creation

Elaborate character design tools with a workflow that capitalizes on speed and quality,

combined with animation-ready rigging to immediately enliven character creations with motions,

facial animation, and lip-sync. Generate unlimited character styles with high-detail visual quality

via face and body morphs, PBR dynamic materials, and layers of fashion.

Facial Animation Rig

Create vivid facial animations with audio lip-sync and puppet emotive expressions with motion

key editing. The amount of facial morphs has now doubled from 30 to 60, giving you unmatched

facial precision for mouth, cheek, eye, and other facial feature animation. iClone 7’s facial

architecture also meets professional face tracking specifications, opening a new door for real-

time facial mocap!

Motion Layer Editing

Instantly animate any character with intuitive animation tools that record face and body

animation with a unique puppeteering engine. Freely control body parts with HumanIK, and use

motion layer editing to quickly fine-tune characteristics of your animation.

Dynamic prop animations utilize industry-leading NVIDIA PhysX for natural rigid body

dynamics and soft cloth simulations. Morphs and blend shapes expand your options for

animating both characters and props, while a new and long-awaited Curve Editor now allows

you to fine-tune motions for dynamic and exaggerated motions.

Morph Animation

Achieve dynamic and organic animation performance with a series of morphs added to props or

skin-bone characters. This is a simple technique that adds incredible performance enhancing

animation options that can be keyed and controlled inside iClone 7. The Morph Manager edits

morph groups from a hierarchical model, and you can import OBJ morphs from 3D modeling or

sculpting tools. Link selected morphs to adjust them individually using the iClone 7 Morph

Manage interface. All imported blend shapes are available in the timeline with individual morph

tracks. You can set keys and tweak values for each morph track in order to achieve organic

movements between morphs.

● Character Morph Animation: Body morphs can be applied to exaggerate a character’s

secondary actions.

● Prop Morph Animation: Props with several morph alternatives can turn a simple shape

into a lively actor.

Global Illumination, NVIDIA VXGI

Utilizing NVIDIA’s leading real-time VXGI (Voxel Cone Tracing technology), iClone 7 greatly

enhances visual realism by integrating secondary light reflections over diffuse and specular

surfaces. Users can quickly and easily level-up their existing projects to achieve superbly-fine

video renders in a fraction of the time, even when using slower GPU systems.

GI for Realistic Interiors and Architectural Visualization

GI for Exteriors and Landscape Environments

Physically-based Rendering (PBR)

iClone 7 introduces PBR as the new real-time renderer for iClone users. Not only does it deliver

amazingly realistic visuals, but it also serves as the new material content standard that helps

maintain a consistent look between iClone 7, 3D game engines, and popular PBR design

applications like Substance Painter.

Custom Shaders: LUT, +HBAO, Shadow Map

In order to harness the ever-increasing visual potential of rapidly growing real-time GPU

technologies, the iClone team has re-engineered iClone 7’s render core, aiming to make it

compatible with industry standard shader languages. By utilizing this new Custom Shader

architecture, iClone 7 has enriched its rendering capabilities with LUT color grading, shadow

matte to turn any mesh into a shadow capture for professional compositing, and HBAO+ for

increased sharpness and more precise AO range control.

Animated LUT Effects for Film Style or Timelapse

Virtual Production & Direction

Produce professional shots in real-time, using industry-standard iClone cameras like Alexa,

Red, Canon, and more! Use iClone 7 for all your virtual production requirements including

previz, and techviz; and take advantage of the new 1:1 seamless camera pipeline compatibility

with the ability to import or export cameras via FBX.

Oscar & BAFTA winning FX Supervisor on iClone 7

“iClone 7 represents a huge

leap in features that take

iClone to a whole new level

for professional production

workflows. Studios have

long dreamed of an

animation platform with

integrated performance

capture, procedural

animation and pipeline

scripting in a package that

also delivers stunning visual

quality in real-time. Add in

flexible integration with 3rd

party software and game

engines and you have a tour

de force that is unmatched in

the industry. Delivering on

features like realtime GI with reflections, full PBR workflow and viewport rendering, HBAO+ and

Shadow Mattes all bring the level of realism to the render to unprecedented levels.”
