Reallusion’s iClone™ allows Anyone to Motorize a Virtual Remote Control Car with Game-like Controls

Remote control cars, robots and interesting gadgets are always popular. iClone’s 3D engine and Physics Toolbox™ is a new type of virtual model system, similar to LEGO™, which allows you to assemble, build, and invent any controllable moving object with physics interaction. If you are a fan of remote control aircraft, then don’t miss out on this powerful 3D toy invention toolkit.

NORTHAMPTON, UK, May 15^th 2012, — Reallusion®, a pioneer in advancing 3D animation and imaging technology has announced its newest “iPlay™” physics control system for people to easily visualize creative ideas by assembling virtual toys with smart digital tools.

With iClone, you don’t need to be an animator or a programmer as now literally anyone can easily create moving models and virtual toys. iClone’s Physics Toolbox allows users to play with virtual blocks, forces and motors to create their dream robots and models with intuitive user interfaces and power source dummies without the need for a degree in animation, physics or engineering. Users can learn how to bring their ideas to life with game-like building systems similar to LEGO™.

This must-have iClone plug-in contains more than 30 powerful physics-based tools which can be used to play-to-create complex mechanical models or stand-alone creations with structures and forces that power any kind of static 3D models. The Physics Toolbox is available now for £69.99 including Vat. PRO version of iClone5 at £159,

Main Features:

Complete set of power sources for physics animation

The plug-in includes 16 basic Force components such as motors, push, sliders, springs and transformation power sources. The Structure components consist of constraint structures such as claws, vehicles and tank tracks, and fully-operational turrets, hydraulic tools and transporters. These tools come with a comprehensive learning system that anyone can freely use to assemble any kind of machine.

Easily assemble incredibly complex machines with smart dummies

Hobbyists can quickly combine static objects to build one-of-a-kind weapon systems, motorized 4WD vehicles, tank tracks, robotic arms and more, just like . This tool set allows you to transform any creative idea you have into a working 3D model by simply adding intuitive smart dummies. Now arduous animations such as rotation, hovering, shooting, springing and explosions are all made easy with just a few simple clicks.

Motorize static objects into interactive content

This is definitely the most intuitive physics system in the industry, ever! Each component is embedded with visually designed control panels, complete with sliders and buttons that allow you to motorize any 3D object. Simply pick an object and assign a motor attribute, then add more power sources and customize your own control panels for real-time manipulation. Users can even add particle dynamics, or use these tools to control cameras and lighting.

Real-time simulation and automatic video creation

One of the most valuable features in the iClone Physics Toolbox is the ability to save countless hours on animation by performing physics simulations in one go. Once you start playing with the controllers, your movements and animations will be recorded into key frames that can later be edited, prior to video export. Not only is this a huge time-saver, but the end results are incredibly smooth and lifelike.

Bring your simulated results to other 3D applications

With physics interactions and live puppet controls, now users can easily generate life-like interactions and animation keys for simulations, visualizations or even prototype games for use in external 3D tools and video game engines.   

IClone’s versatile animation pipeline lends its real-time animation tools and 3D content for filmmaking, creative designs, game development, CG animation and academic simulation. Immerse yourself in a game-like interactive world and bring your animations to their full potential with iClone's real-time Physics Toolbox.

The iClone Physics Toolbox also comes with the most complete learning resources to help beginners and professionals immediately start building their own creations. Users will find everything they need with fully-illustrated user guides, assembly guides, video tutorials, sample projects and more.
