We’ll take a look at some of the tools and techniques that you can use in iClone to help you not only get your animations looking good, but do so relatively quickly. There are few things more off-putting than a 3D character model that looks realistic, only to become awkward and unnatural when it comes to open its mouth.įor that reason, this article will focus on facial animation. With more realistic looking characters comes the need for more convincing animation. It also brought with it Headshot, an AI-based generator that enables users to create character heads from photos of real people. The recent 7.7 update saw the introduction of the Digital Human Shader, which added sub surface scattering, as well as improving the materials on offer, to give skin, teeth, eyes, and hair a much more realistic appearance. Like the game engines that gave rise to Machinima, iClone has always focused on being real-time, making it less complex than the more conventional animation tools.
Finally, while you can smooth the data in realtime from the start, you can also cleanup existing recorded clips using proven smoothing methods which can be applied at the push of a button.IClone is a powerful real-time animation tool that aims to remove the painful and repetitive aspects from the animation process, and simplify the difficult job of creating realistic digital humans. The biggest issue with all live mocap is that it's noisy, twitchy and difficult to work with, so smoothing the live data in realtime is a big necessity because if the mocap data isn't right, or the the model's expressions aren't what you want, and the current mocap recording isn't quite accurate then you need to have access to the backend tools to adjust all of this.
Starting from all new ARKit expressions, to easily adjusting raw mocap data as well as retargeting, to multipass facial recording and essential mocap cleanup - we're covering all the bases to provide you with the most powerful, flexible and user friendly facial mocap approach yet. Designed by animators, for animators - Reallusion's latest facial mocap tools go further, addressing core issues in the facial mocap pipeline to produce better animation.
