Let’s talk about the important thing, another one of those “elephant in the room” issues, that a lot of people have questions about. Then came the cherry on top… Reallusion was offering a code to get 4 hours of free speech generation! I jumped on the opportunity. I wasn’t sure that in my present situation I needed that plugin, but it was free to download from the Marketplace and I already had a Replica account. I shouldn’t have been surprised when the Replica Studios plug-in was released as it just further adds to a toolbox that is getting bigger as time goes on. Live Link, Acculips, and the Hair/Beard system are just a few of the new features along with Omniverse integration which we’ll get into in another article. But now… you look over to someplace that rote muscle memory kept you from going to over the years only to find a new button! Which usually opens up a sub-menu of more new choices. In the past few years, the updates have been so enormous in scope combined with the additions of new tools and plug-ins that it’s virtually impossible to put all of them in front of you at one time.įor me the current UI serves its purpose in the arrangement and presentation of features, buttons, and sliders.

This avoided the dreaded “out of sight, out of mind” glitch that can make users completely forget or become unaware of new tools.Ī few very simple demo characters from CC3 to iClone 7 with speech generated by Replica. It seemed Reallusion was trying hard to put most tools in front of you with the early UI’s. Over time the focus of the app changed along with new user interfaces that were necessary due to new features being added. iClone wasn’t exactly loaded with tools at first but nothing else was either back then was unless you paid thousands of dollars for 3DS Max or Maya. Most early users up to a few years ago could claim the same. Having been on this iClone journey since the early 2000s there was a time when I knew every nuance of the application.
