Renowned mocap artist Pasha Sol wears an Xsens MVN suit connected to iClone 7. Animating digital humans with Reallusion’s Motion LIVE mocap system at SIGGRAPH 2019. This device, which cost $79, opened the doors for an entire ecosystem of future developments with other partners and other tools. What made that iteration of iClone stand out was its pairing with Microsoft Kinect, using that product’s infrared sensor to generate basic body animation. “The moment I felt that the industry really started to shift is when we launched iClone 5 (about 10 years ago),” says Burgos, who adds that was the first time the company offered motion capture, something previously reserved for high-end studios equipped with $100,000 computer rigs with dozens of cameras. This gives creators the freedom to come up with their own animations – and own them. Users can also apply their own voices and use their mouse to animate characters. Anyone can use it with pre-made assets, such as characters and built-in motions. IClone, launched in the early 2000s, is one of Reallusion’s most popular tools, incorporating real-time computer graphics engines to create cinematic production. They can grab a base character, modify it with a photograph and then stack layers for the skin textures to create something that’s very high quality, without having to be an expert in the entire process of 3D modeling. They’re able to create something based off of already existing assets. With Reallusion tools, creators don’t have to start from scratch.
In more than a decade working at Reallusion – a 3D and 2D software and content developer that specializes in Windows-based real-time animation and creation tools – Enoc Burgos has seen a lot of changes in the industry, but one thing is consistent in his role as director of partnership marketing: being able to support and empower up-and-coming creators who lack skills and/or resources to develop their vision.Īuthors use Reallusion software to make trailers for their books, students and professors tap into the technology to create more realistic training sessions and movie studios find the company’s iClone - an animated storyboard that helps preview scenes that need to be filmed - to be the right tool for pre-visualization purposes.
