About iClone

iClone is Reallusion's real-time animation tool for 3D characters. It covers body animation with motion blending, mocap correction and layered motion controls, plus facial animation with muscle-level editing, real-time puppeteering and lip sync. Scene design, cameras and crowd simulation are handled in the same program.

It comes with over 2,000 ready-made characters, motions, props, scenes and lighting presets. An AI Studio workflow lets you stage a scene in iClone and pass it to AI models for rendered visuals. It suits animators, previs artists and small studios who want results without keyframing everything by hand.

Strengths

  • Real-time previews for body and facial animation
  • Motion capture editing and lip sync built in
  • Over 2,000 free assets included
  • Workflow for guiding AI rendering from 3D scenes

Limitations
