Visual effects and Animation journalist Ian Failes was fascinated at SIGGRAPH by Reallusion’s iClone Unreal Live Link and Headshot A.I.
“Reallusion’s iClone is known for being able to drive facial animation of CG characters without using tracking markers. I tried this out at SIGGRAPH 2019, and it was fascinating to watch it all happen in real-time.”
Reallusion invites EVERYONE from all walks of life to animate regardless of their experience or background
Reallusion’s Cartoon Animator 4 (formerly known as CrazyTalk Animator) is considered one of the easiest 2D animation software in the market. To prove that animation isn’t only for professionals, Reallusion is hosting the Animation At Work Contest 2019 with 4 categories: Business, Comic, YouTube, and Education.

The Fusion of iClone Creativity & Unreal Engine at SIGGRAPH 2019
Its been a week since SIGGRAPH 2019, and Reallusion would like to thank all our fans, friends and partners who visited our booth to experience the latest in realtime technology for virtual production, movies, games, AR/VR and motion capture.
In Los Angeles, Reallusion innovated once again by democratizing the creation and animation of digital humans through Character Creator’s Headshot and the iClone Unreal Live Link plug-in.
Exploiting a pipeline with Character Creator, iClone, Rokoko and Cinema 4D
As we all know, creating animations can be an extremely time-consuming and costly task. New software innovations have made it much easier for animators and filmmakers to create quality projects in record time.
This tutorial will share how this “Battle City” short by Jon Finger, was created in 3 weeks with help from theCharacter Creator, iClone, Rokoko and Cinema 4D pipeline.
New realtime technology driving virtual production, movies, games, AR/VR and motion capture comes to all creators from Reallusion at Siggraph 2019. Reallusion innovations are poised to democratize the creation and animation of digital humans. Join Reallusion at booth #640 for live demonstrations with iClone Unreal Live Link featuring realtime face and body motion capture from iClone to Unreal, an interactive demo to create a 3D face morph from HeadShot, a new AI based plugin for Character Creator 3, and the evolution of our 3D characters with the debut of our realtime Digital Human Shader.
The Reallusion pipeline of Character Creator 3, iClone 7 and Unreal Engine is a creative force to design, animate and deploy 3D characters for realtime Unreal projects.
