The iClone Unreal Live Link plugin, recently made available free to indie artists, also gets support for props and “non-human skin-bone characters”. Outside the core software, the link plugins between iClone and Unreal Engine will also get updates.Īuto Setup, Reallusion’s free tool for converting iClone characters for use in UE4, gets support for the character collision mesh and cloth physics properties. It is intended for props rather than characters – the digital human shader introduced in iClone 7.7 last year already supports SSS – and will be supported by a library of readymade SSS materials. Those include new new subsurface scattering shader, shown in the video above, which will roll out in iClone 7.8 and Character Creator 3.3 in “Q2 2020”.

IClone 7.8: new SSS shader, update to iClone Unreal Live LinkĬompared to the 2020 product roadmap for Character Creator, Reallusion’s character-creation software, the iClone roadmap is smaller, and includes features already announced for Character Creator itself.
