iClone 3DXchange 1.0.0524.1

iClone 3DXchange is a conversion utilitythat helps you transform any 3DS or OBJ files from external 3D modeling applications iClone 3DXchange is a conversion tool that helps you transform any 3DS or OBJ files from external 3D modeling applications (Zbrush, Max, Maya or Sketchup...) or 3D model banks (TurboSquid, Renderosity…) into iClone as props, accessories or even 3D scenes.
Instantly load props, accessories or 3D scenes from VNS files made by iClone into 3DXchange to modify specific objects position, orientation, size, specularity, shadow or settings to further customize 3D assets for iClone.
In addition to converting downloaded 3DS and OBJ files, with 3DXchange, you may import any 3D object you make with 3D modeling packages that support 3DS or OBJ exporting and import them into iClone creating projects with totally unique content.
3DXchange lets you generate massive model libraries for props, accessories and scenes for your film productions or for sharing your content packs with the world through iClone!
Main features:
3D Files Import and Conversion
- Build up a massive iClone model library from professional 3D models - Scene, Props, and Accessories.
- Load and convert 3DS and OBJ files into iClone VNS formats.
- Load iClone VNS files for material editing, pivot setting, or edit iClone VNS Merged Props.
- Full texture conversion keeping materials intact - unwrapped UV, multi sub-material texturing, diffuse, bump, opacity.
- Texture format supported: JPG, BMP, PNG, TGA, TIFF.
- Support 3DS animation data import and export (spline not supported).
- Selectable Export for breaking up model groups: check on/off mesh nodes in Scene Tree to filter output elements.
Transformation, Material Editing and Attribute Setting
- Material Editing: material color, glossiness, specular (how shiny the material appears, eg. plastic, metal, glass).
- Normal Correction: 2-sided, flip, unify.
- iClone Shadow Attribute Setting: Cast Shadow , Receive Shadow.
- Scene Transformation: Rotation, Translation, Scaling.
- Quick Align to Scene Root: Auto-align scene elements to iClone root ground position.
- Edge Smoothness: define hard or soft edge by specified angle threshold.
- Pivot Setting: set pivot for rotation in iClone - eg. door - rotate based on edge, wheels - rotate based on center:
Ease-of-use Design
- Drag and Drop files importing: 3DS, OBJ or VNS file formats.
- Scene Tree: multiple elements selection for node attribute editing. Schematic view of individual model segments for simple or complex models.
- Quick project reload - press F5 to reload last project, effective tuning loop for model creation.
- Quickly export VNS files to iClone folders - Scene, Props, Accessories, user define.
- Keep last file path assignment to save frequently used folders.
- Auto model scale up and display dummy figure for size reference, if the original model unit setting is too small to view in 3DXchange.
