This combination turns iClone’s animation timeline into a high-end still renderer. It’s ideal for product visualizations or final animation frames where a real-time engine isn’t sufficient.
Will you be using or importing custom 3D models ? What operating system are you planning to run it on?
Simulates realistic clothing, hair, and hanging fabrics that respond naturally to wind and movement.

One of the standout features introduced in the 5.x series and refined in 5.5 was the . Before this update, animating objects like falling debris, swaying trees, or cloth required tedious keyframing.
: This format unified facial expressions, body movements, and viseme data for lip-syncing into a single file. It streamlined the process of applying complex, coordinated performances to characters. Bridging to Professional Pipelines
What (like 3DXchange or Kinect Mocap) are you planning to use with iClone? This combination turns iClone’s animation timeline into a
On its own, iClone is limited to native proprietary file formats. However, when paired with , iClone 5.5 Pro becomes a universal animation hub.
Traditional 3D animation often requires a compromise between visual quality and time. Animators frequently wait hours, or even days, for scenes to render. iClone 5.5 Pro disrupts this bottleneck by utilizing a powerful real-time graphics engine. What you see on your viewport is incredibly close to your final output. This speed changes the creative process:
The most critical pairing is . While the standard version of iClone limits you to pre-rigged characters (G5/G6), the addition of 3DXchange unlocks universal import/export. What operating system are you planning to run it on
iClone 5.5 Pro utilizes the NVIDIA PhysX engine, allowing creators to move away from rigid, robotic animations.
One of the most significant aspects of the 5.5 Pro ecosystem is its relationship with 3DExchange. This version refined the pipeline to import and export standard formats like FBX, OBJ, and BVH. This allows animators to:
Previously, users couldn’t set translate bones for attached accessories or props. Version 5.5 finally removed this limitation, allowing animators to freely animate props and accessories with translate effects, creating squash‑and‑stretch results that added a new dimension of expressiveness to characters.
