Other than accessing your design assets from the iClone gallery panels, users can manage design resources in a quick way by knowing where the files are actually located in your hard drive. You are highly recommended to create those shortcuts on your desktop for frequent resource access.

Pre-built template projects: C:\program files\reallusion\iClone\template\iClone Template

  • This path keeps projects preinstalled in the iClone program,  or further content auto installed from iClone content pack. The data files stored in the Template folder serve as template projects and contents, users can not overwrite, move or delete them from iClone program.

  • For power users, you can manage your template folder via Windows file manager.

User Custom Projects:  C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Reallusion\Custom\iClone Custom

  • users own creation will store in the User Custom Folder, users can delete, move, rename, update those projects from the iClone program.

You can customize your own thumb image representing your unique design assets, right click on gallery items - load custom thumbnail. 

 

Tips 

  1. Self-contained Resource Project Files
    All resource data is wrapped in project files (in VNS format) such as Character, Props or Scene, no external resource file or linkage required. Independent assets are easy to transfer between computers, but could be much large.

  2. Manage resources by category
    Since all projects, props and motion are stored in iClone universal VNS file format, please make sure to copy VNS files to their corresponding category folder.

  3. Folder memory
    iClone will always keep the latest accessed folder as the file open destination, easy for you to re-access those most recently used design assets.

  4. Customize your default project for iClone
    Change the default project from the female character to any other project. Prefer to have an empty scene to start with? Wish to have 3D grid floor as default for quick reference?


To save your current project as default project, go to the Project / Modify panel and press "Set Default".
