IClone plugin

Configure the Python environment for IClone

Enter the following website address:

  • “ https://wiki.reallusion.com/IC_Python_API:Python_Extension_Libraries ”Follow the steps on the webpage to configure the Python environment;

  • Install dependency libraries

  • At the command prompt, switch the path to "deps" in the "PluginClone" folder and install our dependent libraries in the "deps" directory;

  • At the command prompt, enter "iClonepy.exe - m pip install. seekerpy-1.0.1 py3 none any. whl" (17.7.1);

  • At the command prompt, enter "iClonepy.exe - m pip install. nokovpy-2.0.1 py3 none any. whl" (17.7.2).


Run plugin - Method 1

After installing the dependency library, you can run the plugin in two ways. The first way is to find the IClone software diagram on the desktop, open the IClone file location, and copy the "PluginIClone" folder to this path (17.7.3) in the "Reasoning iClone 8 Bin64 OpenPlugin" directory;

Next, play human body data in XINGYING Live mode or load a set of human body data in Edit mode. At the same time, open the settings in XINGYING software, set the network card address to "10.1.1.198" in the "Data Broadcast" panel, and enable "Enable SDK".

Start IClone and drag the "Test. iAvatar" model from the "PluginIClone ->models" folder to the IClone scene;

Open the plugin window (17.7.4) in the menu bar "Plugins ->NokovPlugin ->Nokov Body Mocap Window", set "Type" to "V2" in the plugin window, enter "10.1.1.198" in "Server", and enter ServerIP as the SDK broadcast address set by the capture software;

Click the Connect button, and the log window will print connection information (17.7.5);

You can select Preview/Record as needed and click Start;

Note:

When clicking on Connect to obtain connection information and clicking on Start to run the IClone plugin, please ensure that the human body is in the 3D view during dynamic capture;

At this point, play the capture data and drive the model in IClone in Live (17.7.6).


Run plugin - Method 2

The second method does not require copying the "PluginIClone" folder to OpenPlugin. Start the IClone software, click on the menu bar "Script ->Load Python" (17.7.7), select "main. py" in the "PluginIClone" plugin folder, and click to open it;

Next, refer to steps 2-7 in the previous section "Running plugins - Method 1" to drive the model in IClone.
