In order to use Face animations on a character in iClone, you will need to livestream and record the Face animations using Accurig with our Rokoko Headcam or LiveFace with an iPhone. More on this on our Livestreaming Guide here.

  • In iClone, while your character is in the scene, browse to the exported Rokoko animation, and drag and drop that animation directly onto your character. You will see a bound box around the character before dropping the animation.

  • A window with many options will open. Under Motion T-Pose (optional), select the Browse button and select the same animation you dragged and dropped on the character. Then hit Convert all.

    Make sure your animation is named without using special character like "(" or "@", otherwise, an error will be thrown and you will need to re-select the animation for the T-Pose.
