This allows you to make tweaks to the texture maps and view the results on a 3D Preview of the head. Sweet! If you pop over to the Face tab, you can also hit the Texture sub-set button to bring up an Adjust the facial texture window.

Therefore, there is no need to go digging for images, and once you have made the changes and saved the file, iClone will automatically update the model. By hitting the Launch button in the Texture Settings, iClone 5.5 will automatically send the texture maps to your 2D painting package of choice.

On a plus note though, you can easily update the texture files, allowing you to take Gwynn and zombie her up a little. Shame, I could really see her as having a slight Terminator feel to her. For example, I could not give Gwynn a Robot arm from the Gloves tab. One slight snag is that depending on which generation of character you are using (G4, G5, etc), some content is not usable on some avatars. You can also change the clothes, add gloves, shoes and handbags its all in there. This is the place to make those initial changes to your characters. Want to give Gwynn a bad hair day or give Chuck extra beefy butch arms? Go ahead. Here you can use a set of presets to edit the body type of your character or go in manually to push and pull its form using the sliders. Just click the Avatar Proportion button and off you go. Once you have your asset or Avatar loaded into the 3D workspace, you will have plenty of customization tools at your disposal, allowing you to modify the broadest of changes or the finest of details. Some of the gang available from the Content Manager This is where the fun really does kick in, and the speed at which you can get things moving is astonishing! From the G5 Character set, you have the lovely Gywnn and the handsome Chuck, and accompanying them you have a good set of human and non-human characters, all ready to be directed by you. For those with minimal or little experience, there is a slight learning curve, but one that does not leave the soul destroyed far from it! Once youve made yourself comfortable with the interface, you can pop over to the Actor tab and start to bring assets in from the Content Manager. All in all, if you are familiar with other 3D packages, there is no doubt that you will be able to jump straight in and create. Each tab has a sub-set of menus to help in the asset creation/customization process and at the bottom of the interface you have the playback tools.
At the top of the screen you have a tidy set of tabs that are ordered in such a manner that you can create a project by running through them in sequence although you will undoubtedly go back-and-forth between the tabs. The main bulk of the screen will be filled with the 3D viewport and on the right-hand side, you have the Modify panel. On the left-hand side, you have the Content Manager and the Scene Manager. When you first open iClone 5.5, you will be presented with a very cleverly thought-out piece of kit.
Think of it as creating an animation in a game engine a very fancy game-engine with bells and whistles abundant. What makes it different is that everything is created in real-time and what you see on the screen is the final result. What is it and how does it compare to other 3D packages, such as Maya, 3ds Max, Softimage and MODO? Well, like the aforementioned packages and others like it, iClone is an animation package. So what did I think of it? Read on to find out "Think of it as creating an animation in a game-engine, a very fancy game-engine with bells and whistles abundant" I had heard many good things about this package, such as its ability to allow for great storyboarding, previsualization, character creation and short film making in the form of Machinima (making films using game engines) to name a few.
