Taking a VR walk around a set I built in iClone 7 using Glycon3D Richie Castellano 2022-04-08 | I've been making my movie project using Reallusion iClone 7 which has been awesome. I recently found out about this great app that just took things to another level. It's called Glycon3D and it allows me to import my iClone sets, walk around them in Virtual Reality and export my motion capture performance back into iClone. It's insane!I'll try to give more updates on the production process as things progress. Thanks!For anyone interested, I'm using a Valve Index VR rig into an HP laptop.Reallusion iClone: reallusion.com/icloneGlycon3D: glycon3d.comBlender: blender.org
