Iclone uses GPU rendering when most of the other 3d rendering engines use traditional CPU renders which are slower. there are few features in iclone which makes it best in the world with designing. first of the build in animations makes it very easy to animate your character like walking, speaking and running. another option is the motion capture, you can work with motion captures to animate your created character it opens up a lot of possibilities. for designing the character import feature is stunning, you can easily import files from other software or from build-in the library and even there is a marketplace for you to buy them. there are several specialised models too like hair, shoes, dress and all to customize the character in ways you can dream. the rendering engine is really good and it uses PBR so the quality of output is exceptional. there are also tons of other addons and inbuild elements such as textures to match the scene that you want to create. the software is also good for creating entire scene from base. the lighting options are another tool in iclone which is much better than its competitors, with which you gets great control over foreground and background lighting.

the software is not cheap with a market price of $400, you always have a free trial to test out the product. the software needs atleast GTX 700 series card so that is costly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is one of the best platforms to design 3d characters, there are tons of tools available for you get the perfect design, the control you get with them is actually better than other software in this class. there are also many elements are available on the web as character creator format which can be directly imported into the software for editing. you can also import 3D models from other designing software such as Autodesk Maya and 3DS Max. multi-window editing is really cool and get you multiple perspectives about the model and makes it easy to create your character. the animation is another great feature in this tool you can easily draw paths and animate the character through that path which is much easier than conventional keyframe animator. there is also keyframe animation options if you prefer old school. the interface of the software is great especially the timeline, you can easily edit individual parts of the model without much trouble.

the software needs a lot of memory to work fluently. the rendering options in this tool are not at all good comparatively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the fact that making animations is no longer needed by a team of animators. Now, anyone with a computer can do it on their own. I also enjoy 3DXchange where I can tale characters or elements of a scene and import them into iClone from a different format. This has been extremely helpful and allowed us to reuse older characters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that iClone 7 comes with a character creator. However, I feel there are not enough clothes. In addition, I also feel the character creator should allow you to make custom clothing.

Older versions of iClone allowed users to make a 3d character from a 2d photo. This can still be done however you are required to use another Reallusion software called Crazytalk 8. I was not a fan of this because Crazytalk 8 is not a free program. I feel this is a feature that iClone and the dedicated character creator should already have without relying on another program.
