Why Choose iClone Animations?

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between rlMotion, iMotion, and MotionPlus?
rlMotion is the current motion clip format (iClone 7/8, CC4). iMotion is older (still supported). MotionPlus can package body plus optional facial/accessories in one clip.
Which iClone/CC versions are supported?
Our rlMotion targets iClone 7/8 and CC4. Legacy iMotion supports iClone 6+. All play in iClone 8.
Do I still need 3DXchange?
No. 3DXchange is discontinued; iClone 8/CC4 include built-in import/export and motion conversion.
How do these work with Motion Director?
Motion Director uses iMD for live behaviors. You can record the result to the timeline and save as rlMotion for reuse.
How do I stop foot sliding or drifting hands?
Enable Foot/Hand Contact for grounded steps and add Reach Target keys to lock hands/feet to surfaces or props. Refine with Motion Layer keys.
What axis and units should I use?
iClone is Z-up and uses centimeters. Export from your DCC with matching units/orientation; bake keys at 30/60 FPS.
Can I export to Unreal/Unity?
Yes—export FBX from iClone/CC and retarget in-engine, or start with our matching FBX/Unreal/Unity packs for faster handoff.
Pro Tips
- Contacts: Use Foot/Hand Contact judiciously—combine with Reach Target for complex props/holds.
- Curve cleanup: Use Curve/Graph editor to thin or adjust keys after layering edits.
- Reach Target: Lock hands to props (weapons/tools) for seamless grabs within longer takes.
- Library hygiene: Save variants (e.g., _InPlace, _Root) as separate clips for clean state machines.
- Export hygiene: Bake transforms and avoid negative scales before FBX export; keep FPS/units consistent.
- Timecode: When archiving editorial shots, save motions with timecode for conform to picture.
