User Interface for Exporting FBX

The newly added Export FBX inside iClone allows an adjusted project to be exported to another mainstream 3D tool. No longer does one have to rely on 3DXchange to individually export parts of the project, speeding up the workflow significantly.

You can open the Export FBX panel from the File > Export > Export Fbx....

Export FBX Panel

A

Target Tool Preset

Select the target software
B

  • All: Export the Project timeline motion.

  • Range: Export a select set of animation frames.
D

Embed Textures

G

Delete Unused Morphs

J

Merge Face Hair to One Object

Merges the hairs on the character's face (eyebrows, beards, mustaches and so on) to one single object.

K
