iClone 8 Becomes a Tour de Force for Mocap Animation Editing

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 12, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Featuring Trailblazing Mocap Animation Workflow

Although natural performances can be obtained via optical tracking, mocap suits, AI generation, or pre-made motion files, studios still struggle to refine animation data for their precise requirements.

iClone has been used in major mocap productions for decades, proving itself as a top-tier solution for mocap animation editing. With the release of iClone 8, this cutting-edge software offers professional-grade animations at a fraction of the cost, time, and effort required by other applications. Know more >
