Reallusion has launched the iClone Plugin Marketplace, a new online library of add-ons for iClone, its character animation software.
At the time of posting, seven plugins are available to download, all of them free, ranging from utilities like a batch render manager to new rigging and camera animation tools.
A free television studio set (3.2Mb,.7z file) for iClone. A late-night girly “chat and songs” TV show. Just 45,000 faces as a ready-lit Project file, with preset cameras. The free 3D Warehouse models I’ve used should make this set free for any use, even commercial. Click for a larger version. IClone enables users to pick a background color or upload a file from the computer (e.g. JPEG, BMP, GIF, PNG, TGA, MP4, MPEG, RM), work with multiple image layers and adjust the levels for brightness, contrast, hue, and saturation, design 3D scenes that include various elements (e.g. Terrain, water, tree, grass), and set the atmosphere by selecting from different presets or manually.

Created using the new Python API in iClone 7.4
The plugins are the product of the new Python API introduced in iClone 7.4 earlier this year, and intended to enable users to modify the software’s functionality.
To coincide with the release, the firm also launched a new support program, iClone Open, intended to help developers write custom plugins.
That has now evolved into the new marketplace: the tools available are actually the original example plugins from iClone Open, and were previously available via GitHub.
They include basic utilities like Group Manager, which creates a hierarchy for organising scene objects, and Batch Render Folder, which automatically renders projects in a specified directory to video.
There are also a range of animation tools, including a camera follow system, a joint-driven morph set-up, and a plugin for puppeteering the hand gestures of a 3D character via a visual interface.
Pricing and system requirements
All of the plugins in the iClone Plugin Maketplace require iClone 7.4. The software is available for 64-bit Windows 7+. New licences cost $199.
To exchange data between iClone and other DCC applications, including exporting OBJ or FBX files, you also need add-on tool 3DXChange, which costs $199 for the Pro edition and $499 for the Pipeline edition.
