iClone has two tabs that help you control lighting conditions. With all in place, you may want to change the lighting in your animation. Again, there is a huge variety of props to help fill a scene to meet your needs and more from the Reallusion Marketplace. Start with a default environment from the Content Manager and then customize with assets from the Set tab. Just a quick mention regarding the creation of sets and project environments: the manner in which you will create them is similar to creating the Actors. With the model moving to your every command and with a set in place, its a case of setting up the lighting and the cameras. This is where the fun really does kick in, and the speed at which you can get things moving is astonishing! From the G5 Character set, you have the lovely Gywnn and the handsome Chuck, and accompanying them you have a good set of human and non-human characters, all ready to be directed by you. For those with minimal or little experience, there is a slight learning curve, but one that does not leave the soul destroyed far from it! Once youve made yourself comfortable with the interface, you can pop over to the Actor tab and start to bring assets in from the Content Manager. All in all, if you are familiar with other 3D packages, there is no doubt that you will be able to jump straight in and create. Each tab has a sub-set of menus to help in the asset creation/customization process and at the bottom of the interface you have the playback tools. At the top of the screen you have a tidy set of tabs that are ordered in such a manner that you can create a project by running through them in sequence although you will undoubtedly go back-and-forth between the tabs. The main bulk of the screen will be filled with the 3D viewport and on the right-hand side, you have the Modify panel. On the left-hand side, you have the Content Manager and the Scene Manager. Think of it as creating an animation in a game engine a very fancy game-engine with bells and whistles abundant.When you first open iClone 5.5, you will be presented with a very cleverly thought-out piece of kit. What makes it different is that everything is created in real-time and what you see on the screen is the final result. What is it and how does it compare to other 3D packages, such as Maya, 3ds Max, Softimage and MODO? Well, like the aforementioned packages and others like it, iClone is an animation package.
