If you want your products to only be usable in iClone, the DRM can be used for that. Therefore Reallusion has a pretty strong protection of how and where the contents can be used at. If you don't want something to be exported, it will be impossible to do so, no matter if you own the pipeline version or not. I don't know the legal details, but I do know that iClone, 3DXchange and CC3 have export limitations controlled by strict DRM protection. The fact that I was a HW vendor when HW decided to join hands with Reallusion is more proof that I am working with the right people, who have vision and keep their eyes on the future. Not to mention every time Reallusion showcases what's to come in the following months, they often baffle me with state-of-the-art technology you wouldn't expect to find in a hobbyist-level tool. I was already there as a user, and now I want to try the vendor hat as well. Diversification is key, and I am all in to give it a try. I don't know how profitable that content market is, but it's important to widen your portfolio in nowadays economy.
iClone is far from new, but it has become EXCITING, and I like that! It's good to keep the creative juices flowing. I miss the days when Poser gave me something to be excited about, and it has been a long time now. I am a Poser/DS content creator, and I see iClone not only as a new source of revenue, but also something that is flourishing like no other 3D hobbyist tool I know of nowadays. Since Reallusion works with real-time applications, it only makes sense that performance is important in their pipeline. I guess it's the way it is implemented that determines the performance. Somehow ironically, Cycles renders faster in Blender than it does in Poser. And as Chris has stated, it apparently renders FASTER in iClone than it does in DS. That becomes more obvious with the introduction of the I-ray plugin, which is quite suitable for still renders. Just like Poser/DS, iClone can be used to render stills or animations. Those things take time to learn the ups and downs. I wish I could get up to speed with CC3 content conversions before the official release, like I did by creating contents for Dawn before the HW store was up and running.
I believe I will be able to bring even my Poser clothings into CC3, since I could already do it even without CC until now, using 3DXchange. The hard part was to bring the base figure into iClone, but that is no longer an issue. I know it's early to say, but that's the impression I had when I looked at the progress reviews. I suppose it may not matter if my contents are for Poser or DS, since CC3 seems to have all the tools to make the conversion on its own. It is also great to know that CC3 will work with quad meshes as well. All of this will be greatly simplified with CC3, not to mention that InstaLOD seems significantly superior to the Digimi plugin from DS. I also pre-process Dawn with the Digimi decimator and texture atlas in DS beforehand, so I can place multiple Dawn's on scene with little performance impact. Since the DAZ profile is 90% compatible with Dawn, I have been using it to bring her into iClone with a few limitations (no hands or face rigging).
REALLUSION ICLONE DECREASE RENDER TIME FOR FREE
They took advantage of the DAZ Genesis profile that has been provided by Reallusion for free to take their products into iClone and CrazyTalk. I was always a fan, and I follow them wherever they go. It has been a while I have noticed 3DUniverse's presence at the Reallusion content store. I suppose it's a matter of management at the top levels - the guys who make the big decisions - what they want to accomplish and how much they are willing to invest on it. When I look at Reallusion, I can see clearly where it is going, what it wants to be, and how FAST they want to get there. SMS is still wondering where they want Poser to go, or what it wants to be, which is frustrating for vendors and customers. It takes planning, direction, work, and will power to make it happen. It has been a LONG time I haven't been quite excited about Poser, so it was good that iClone came out of the shadows to become what it is today. Thanks, Chris! I believe Reallusion seems the way to go for the amount of time, money, effort and tech they are putting into iClone - comparing to the rather stagnation we have experienced with Poser through the last decade.
