Sorry, maybe someone else can explain about export from Iclone. Here is a link to information on 3dxchange towards the bottom there is a comparision matrix of versions. If you plan to export and import from both IClone and Daz applications between each other you must have Iclone pro and 3dxchange Pipeline version. If you plan to use fhe flexibility of export to IClone you must have Iclone pro and 3dxchange pro. The learning curve can take months or even years dependent upon your dedication. If you are proficient using the animation tools with Studio or Carrara that will help you alot. The community is just as open and willing to share as the forum members on Daz3d. I would suggest to lurk on the Reallusion forums for awhile and ask questions. You can spend alot of money fast - just like Daz3d content and not have what you need. Wait and watch carefully for sales, if you are seriously interested in IClone. You can migrate terrains built in Carrara and Bryce into Iclone. IClone has no terrain tools, except the ability to use height maps. The Carrara terrain builder is a very efficient tool. Most IClone users could use Daz3d applications for editing and creating content items.Ĭarrara does some amazing things with the modelers. Iclone was developed for video production to start. In other words, Daz3d Studio and other applications developed primarily around high quality single image work. IClone is primarily designed for efficient production of animated video. You familiarity with Daz3d applications will not be wasted knowledge for sure.

The Dazed studio content is consistently higher quality than most of Iclone Content. You can get started cheap, but if your goal ito start is animated video Daz is the long way to get there. I don't know how it compares with Iray, but suspect since it is third party it is on par.īuying into Iclone is not cheap compared with free Daz3d apps, which are very cheap. There is a new render engine in IClone 6 as well. Yes, you can animate in Daz3d studio and Carrara, but not even close for efficient workflow. When this new add-in "character creation" is added you will see even more efficiencies.

The principal thing is - animation and workflow. You can do amazing textures work and enjoy tesselation as well. The lipsync is second to none and it's included. The timeline is excellent tool and been constantly improved. The IClone animation workflow is vastly improved.
