iClone Reviews & Product Details

iClone can run on PCs with average specs while other 3D animation tools require you to have a high end PC to handle your workflow smoothly. The animation process has not been overcomplicated and the features are great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing I severely dislike about the iClone but there are some bugs that I hope will be fixed in later updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Before I used version 6.X, but this latest version of iClone 7 is compatible with previous versions, so great, it helps me a lot because it is a powerful tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being a very new version, there are small bugs that need to be improved, I imagine that the updates will fix it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its an 'all-in-one' solution to the production of fast animations for a very wide range of projects, big or small. Runs very well on an 'average' computer, whereas animations apps typically require gaming-type-computers or high-end devices to adequately run the software. Huge libraries of animations; cool interface; but the greatest asset or tool of all is the Character Creator software which easily allows a user to generate a limitless number of standard or 'wild' avatars or characters. A great way to let the imagination explode ... Cameras and the interface to quickly edit a vid is awesome! And all of this and a very modest price. Interfaces well with other animation apps. (Professional support is extremely good, being fast and very helpful with accurate replies or workarounds.)

Over the years the interface has vastly improved. Whereas the product may not be as well known as some of the other 'big names' it is a hidden super-tool with considerable opportunities for speedy production of many, many different types of projects. I find increasingly that I am using iClone with Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator; they synch well together, though it is obvious that many users haven't recognised all those likely benefits.

Overall it is quite a tool to stimulate creativity, and (relatively) easy to use. Like all graphics apps, takes a lot of practise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Human IK is a bit too basic and too often gives faults for non-standard characters. There are possibilities to edit one's way around the faults, but it becomes time consuming. The clothing conform can also be a bit frustrating for non-standard figures - which shouldn't be because iClone Character Creator just begs for wild creativity.

the appearance and the useries to modify every thing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its kind of slow when I intend to use it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the character animation and the rendering features that they offer. It's easy to use, and the program is way more straight forward than any other 3d animation software that I've tried to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish that it was more universally compatible with more operating systems and computers. I'm not able to use it on my own personal laptop, only my work computer because I don't have all of the proper system requirements on my pc laptop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The animation simplicity of characters and the rendering features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing that I came across as not so likable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Iclone is great for on the spot pre-vis, The toolset is closer to a game engine than maya or 3ds which make the learning curve almost nonexestant for profesionals. You can just jump in and start animating. Rendering is fast and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The import process for character creator could be a lot better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Iclone uses GPU rendering when most of the other 3d rendering engines use traditional CPU renders which are slower. there are few features in iclone which makes it best in the world with designing. first of the build in animations makes it very easy to animate your character like walking, speaking and running. another option is the motion capture, you can work with motion captures to animate your created character it opens up a lot of possibilities. for designing the character import feature is stunning, you can easily import files from other software or from build-in the library and even there is a marketplace for you to buy them. there are several specialised models too like hair, shoes, dress and all to customize the character in ways you can dream. the rendering engine is really good and it uses PBR so the quality of output is exceptional. there are also tons of other addons and inbuild elements such as textures to match the scene that you want to create. the software is also good for creating entire scene from base. the lighting options are another tool in iclone which is much better than its competitors, with which you gets great control over foreground and background lighting.

the software is not cheap with a market price of $400, you always have a free trial to test out the product. the software needs atleast GTX 700 series card so that is costly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is one of the best platforms to design 3d characters, there are tons of tools available for you get the perfect design, the control you get with them is actually better than other software in this class. there are also many elements are available on the web as character creator format which can be directly imported into the software for editing. you can also import 3D models from other designing software such as Autodesk Maya and 3DS Max. multi-window editing is really cool and get you multiple perspectives about the model and makes it easy to create your character. the animation is another great feature in this tool you can easily draw paths and animate the character through that path which is much easier than conventional keyframe animator. there is also keyframe animation options if you prefer old school. the interface of the software is great especially the timeline, you can easily edit individual parts of the model without much trouble.

the software needs a lot of memory to work fluently. the rendering options in this tool are not at all good comparatively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
