iClone in Education

iClone is all-in-one 3D animation studio, that allows anyone to create their very own 3D characters by importing photographs of themselves and mapping them onto CG models. Students can animate by choosing motions from the content library, or simply using their mouse to puppeteer characters, vehicles and props. Real-life actors can even be brought in, and mixed with virtual environments to create TV shows and school presentations. Be your own director and explore the world of 3D animation and video FX.
