City Workers 5 Character For iclone 8

Description

You have a few options for creating city worker characters for iClone 8, ranging from using pre-made assets to crafting your own:

1. Utilizing the Reallusion “City Workers” Character Pack (Recommended for Efficiency):

As mentioned previously, Reallusion offers a dedicated “City Workers” content pack on their Content Store.
This is the most straightforward way to get five ready-to-use, cartoon-style city worker characters directly into your iClone 8 projects.
The characters are specifically designed for animation and customization within Character Creator and iClone.
2. Customizing Base Characters in Character Creator (for More Control):

iClone 8 works seamlessly with Character Creator 4 (or later). Character Creator is Reallusion’s powerful character design tool.
Start with a Base Character: Character Creator provides various base human models that you can extensively modify.
Morphing: Use the intuitive morph sliders in Character Creator to adjust body shape, facial features, and proportions to create diverse individuals.
Clothing and Accessories: Character Creator has a vast library of clothing and accessories. You can mix and match items to create different city worker outfits (e.g., construction vests, uniforms, casual wear). You can also import custom clothing.
Texturing: Customize the look of clothing and skin using the material and texture options in Character Creator. You can adjust colors, add details like dirt or wear, and even import your own textures.
Hair: Choose from a variety of hairstyles or import custom hair assets to suit your characters’ professions.
Facial Animation: Character Creator allows you to create detailed facial expressions and animation profiles that can be used in iClone.
Here’s a general workflow for creating characters in Character Creator for iClone:

Launch Character Creator.
Select a Base Character: Choose a starting point that is closest to the body type you envision.
Modify Shape and Features: Use the morph sliders in the “Shape” and “Face” panels to sculpt the character’s body and head.
Apply Skin and Makeup: Adjust skin tone, add details like wrinkles or blemishes, and apply makeup if desired in the “Skin” and “Makeup” panels.
Choose Hair: Select a hairstyle from the “Hair” library or import a custom one. Customize its color and style.
Dress the Character: Navigate to the “Clothing” and “Accessory” libraries and select appropriate attire for your city worker. You can layer clothing items and adjust their fit and appearance.
Customize Materials: Fine-tune the look of the clothing, accessories, hair, and skin by adjusting their materials and textures in the “Material” panel.
Create Facial Profiles (Optional but Recommended for Animation): Use the “Facial” panel to define expressions and morphs that will enhance animation in iClone.
Send to iClone: Once you’re satisfied with your character in Character Creator, you can directly send it to iClone 8 using the “Send to iClone” button in the Character Creator toolbar. The character will retain all its details, including morphs, clothing, and facial animation capabilities.
Animate in iClone: In iClone 8, you can then animate your city worker characters using its animation tools, motion capture, or the extensive motion library available.
3. Importing Custom Characters:

If you have 3D modeling skills, you can create your own city worker characters in other 3D software (like Blender, Maya, etc.).
To use these characters in iClone 8, they need to be rigged and properly formatted (usually as FBX files).
Character Creator can help with the rigging and characterization process for custom models, making them compatible with iClone’s animation system.
In summary, while creating your own characters offers maximum customization, the Reallusion “City Workers” pack provides a quick and convenient way to populate your iClone 8 scenes with relevant characters.
