Now, not only that plug-in does all that for us, it even gives us the possibility to adjust and fine-tune the shaders in Unreal, which is especially important for the visually tricky parts, such as the creation of the eyes and the hair. It used to be an enormous task in the Unreal material system.

No more manual work with the shader assignment. It does the same with the skeleton system. It automatically assigns digital human shaders to the linked characters. The most difficult part became the easiest with the help of the “Character Creator & the iClone Auto Setup Plug-in”, which work in conjunction with Live Link Plug-in. Live Link 1.1 addresses these hiccups with the advent of timecode-based recording which transmits and records full-frame data, even on substandard system specifications.Advantages of working on Live Link Plug-in Unreal Live Link 1.1 (opens in new tab) Timecode Sync Recording (opens in new tab)įrame drops were a common downside of Live Link being heavily dependent on hardware performance – especially prevalent while live recording heavy data streams.

Thanks to the industry-only Subdivision Export (opens in new tab) for fully-animated characters, iClone 8.1 presents a substantial upgrade for artists who want to take final renders to the next level.

This release further empowers the popular 'Animate in iClone and Render in Unreal' workflow, with Live Link headlining features such as Scene Imports from UE5, iClone to Unreal Motion Transfer, and Timecode Sync for Full-frame Recording. Following the buzz of iClone 8’s release in May this year, the recent version 8.1 update introduces Unreal Live Link 1.1 (opens in new tab), and a brand new feature of Motion Director known as React to Surface.
