Reallusion Partners with Allegorithmic and Indigo Rendering on iClone 6

Professional Texturing Capabilities and Photorealistic Renderer Now Come Standard with Real-Time 3D Animation Software

Silicon Valley, Calif.  March 5, 2015 – Today it was announced that  Reallusion has partnered with Allegorithmic and Glare Technologies to bring professional 3D texturing and photorealistic rendering to iClone 6.

The newly added support for  Allegorithmic Substances and the Indigo Renderer has made the world’s most accessible 3D animation package even more viable for previsualization, short film, and gaming projects. iClone 6 gives artists freedom from many of the constraints tied to the traditional 3D scene creation and rendering process, including a faster, DirectX-11 real-time creation environment with full lighting and camera workflow, so artists can experiment before they hit render.

Once they are ready,  Indigo RT will now provide physically based rendering quality to their animation pipeline, a dramatic GPU-accelerated, photorealistic improvement to the previous system. As a time-saver, artists can also download shaders from Indigo’s free library, or even auto-convert 3D object materials into shaders before applying them to their scenes.

"Artists looking for a real-time 3D tool to build up scenes that can be automatically rendered will find Indigo and iClone 6 to be a great duo," said Nicholas Chapman, Managing Director of Glare Technologies, maker of Indigo. “Glare and Reallusion are both committed partners and plan to continue offering a path for iClone users to create and render something special.” 

Substance compatibility adds dynamic textures to objects and environments, including aging, metal corrosion, wood stains and more with easy-to-use sliders that allow artists to dial in the right look for their models. Already an industry-standard for game development, Substances can also be exported into Allegorithmic’s texture creation package, Substance Designer for further tweaking and refinement.

“We know how important it is for artists to create something that is visually compelling,” said Sébastien Deguy, Founder and CEO of Allegorithmic. “By merging Substance technology with iClone 6, users of all skill levels will have even more ways to give their art a believable look.
