iClone 8.22.1421.1
Added:
Expression Wrinkles:
- The new Expression Wrinkles for CC3+ characters enhances the outcome of Facial Puppet, Face Keys, Look At, and LIVE Face. Know more >
- The new Modify > Expression Wrinkles panel includes General Settings, Regional Influence, and Texture Settings. Know more >.
- New rlWrinkle files are available under Content Manager > Actor > Expression Wrinkles section. Wrinkle content are separated into General (Live) and Individual (Flattened). Know more >.

Look at:
Look at can now drive morph data: "Brow_Raise_Inner L", "Brow_Raise_Inner R", "Brow_Raise_Outer_L", and "Brow_Raise_Outer_R". Know more >
- New override data for the bones of the body let's Look-at drive the body while keyable head, neck, and torso (XYZ axis weights are provided.).
- Enhanced CC characters with head-turn morphs. Head rotation can now drive "Head_Turn_L", "Head_Turn_R", "Head_Turn_Up", and "Head_Turn_Down" morphs.
- New Associated Eyebrow Movement lets the eyebrow morph animated along with Look at according to the strength settings.
- New Eyebrow Asymmetry creates an uneven animation to the eyebrows when Look at is used.
- Look At Camera and Set Free hotkeys are now available under the Motion Director mode (MD Controls > Start).
- In an effort to enhance the Look at function, Head Weight and Body Weight tracks are added under Timeline > Constraint > Look at.

Progressive Texture Loading:
- New Preference > Performance > Progressive Texture Loading can be used to significantly speed up loading times. Know more >
- Untextured contents can be transferred to Unreal / Omniverse when Performance > Progressive Texture Loading > Munaul Loading is enabled.

Preference:
- New Preference > Included baked wrinkle textures on save can help speed up the loading of wrinkle assets.

Render:
- Smooth display mode now shows the vertex colors of the meshes.

Enhanced:
Expression Wrinkles:
- Expression Wrinkles can be saved together in a ccAvatarPreset file (Content Manager > Actor > Head Morph & Skin).
- Expression Wrinkles can be saved together in a ccSkin file (Content Manager > Skin > Overall).

Facial Puppet:
- New sliders for driving neck morphs and wrinkle effects is now available in the Facial Puppet Profile with CC4 Extended. (Face Puppet > Puppet Control Set)

FBX:
- New sliders for driving neck morphs and wrinkle effects is now available in the Facial Puppet Profile with CC4 Extended. (Face Puppet > Puppet Control Set)

Scene manager:
- Rearranged the options under Scene Manager > Smooth Mesh. "Subdivision" is now the second option so that when the option is toggled, the selected mesh is subdivided instead of being tessellated. This change can lead to slight improvements in working speed.
- Improved the performance of the Collection Manager for scenes with multiple objects. It is now quicker to create, move, and reorder collections.
- Improved the performance of the Scene Manager. It is now faster to import projects that contain numerous object into iClone.
- Improved the performance of the Scene Manager. It is now faster to remove multiple characters from an object-laden scene.

Render:
- The Max Texture Size setting will now max out for final rendering with the highest texture resolution. Once the rendering is complete, the Max Texture Size will return to its original setting. Feedback Tracker

Smart Content Manager:
- Foolproofed database initialization in the case of system interference with the application-dependent files. For instance, Smart Gallery prompts an error message when the prerequisite folders are missing.

Fixed:

Animation Editing:
- Selecting either Left or Right with Apply Gestures actually applies the gesture to both hands. Feedback Tracker
- Animations for props with sub-nodes deviate from their originals when brought into iClone.

Timeline:
- Sampling the selected parts from a motion clip (Sample Motion Clip to New Layer > Sample Selected Parts) with either LFinger or RFinger enabled causes the unselected parts to be sampled as well. Feedback Tracker
- Pressing the right arrow button once on the keyboard (→) is enough to move the timeline forward by one frame. But two presses are required when the timeline window is focused. Feedback Tracker

The following procedure causes the character to jump uncontrollably: Feedback Tracker
- 1) Use Link to on a character.
- 2) Move the character by proxy of moving the link target.
- 3) Unlink by removing the constraint.
- 4) Apply a motion.
- 5) Launch the timeline Motion Direction Control and turn the character.
- Saving each individual motion clip in the timeline (Timeline > Save Motion Clip) only results in one pose being saved besides the first clip in the timeline. Feedback Tracker
- IClone freezes with the frequent use of Merge Clips on the Timeline. Feedback Tracker

FBX:
- The fingers of the character become disfigured (joints become raised) when a Mixamo Motion FBX files is brought into iClone (Menu > Import > Import External Motion). Feedback Tracker

Render:
- Loss of motion blur when Preference > Real-time Render Options > Depth of Field > Correct Transparency is enabled. Feedback Tracker
- The "Shadow Catcher" dummy object can not receive shadows when Visual > Toon Shader is enabled. Light > Shadow > Darkness must have a value, otherwise shadows will not appear. Feedback Tracker
- Rendered images are inconsistent with rendered videos for scenes that have refractive objects (Material Settings > Refraction) with Render > Final Render > Anti Aliasing Medium 2x2 enabled.

Smart Content Manager:

- Wrinkle performances have been added to the "1_Talking Kevin" project.
- Wrinkle performances have been added to the "2_Camilla Facial Demo" project.
- Added the "2_Susan Expression Wrinkles Demo" project.

Added Expression Wrinkles: 2 General Wrinkles: "Neutral", "Camilla", and 2 Individual Wrinkles: "Kevin", "Susan".
- There are now four Facial profiles under Wrinkle Enhancement used for enhancing smile line and other wrinkle related topology, around 30 morphs are enhanced for a better expression wrinkle effects. Make sure apply one of those profile first at your existing CC3+ character for the optimized wrinkle effects.

New "Expression Wrinkles" folder under Content Manager > Animation > Expression contains the following iTalk files:
- The "Regional Influence" folder contains 14 iTalk files for checking the expression wrinkles, since iClone lacks the Modify > Regional Influence > Check with Expressions option that is present in Character Creator.
- The "Sample Animation" folder contains 3 iTalk sample files for checking expression wrinkles, since iClone lacks Animation Player > Calibration > Wrinkle Check option that is present in Character Creator.
- The "Wrinkle Creation" folder contains 4 iTalk files for developers who wish to create Expression Wrinkles.
