iClone4 introduces new features that combine video production with 3D real-time animation. The result is a powerful production tool for motion graphics, 3D animation and video compositing.

3D Filmmaking and video compositing

Customise your actors and elaborate architecture and natural environmental elements with HDR lighting effects and an advance camera system. Place videos in popular formats on any surface like 3D objects, flying flags and bring live actors from the real world into the virtual set.

Drag and drop quick scene creation and editing

Drag and drop actors, props and textures directly into any scene location within the 3D preview window. Select a file and drag it from the iClone library or as an imported file from any Window folder. Textures can be dragged and turned into a solid wall object or 2D background.

Two filmmaking modes – Editor and Director

In the Editor mode, you can do complete in-screen object editing and animation. In the Director mode, you can direct the behaviour or movement of your actors or objects with hot keys and puppet the animation in real-time. The Director mode is like a videogame, you select your actor and use the directional keys to pilot your actor or vehicle or even your prop. The animation you create is recorded as a motion clip and can be edited in segments.

Built-in facial editor

Use your mouse to select and direct the facial features of your actor as you play back in real-time. The software offers enhanced facial tracks in timeline for keyframe or motion clip management.
