Game Changer: iClone LIVE LINK and Control Rig for Unreal [Video]

Nildo Essá – FX Animation Studios

Hello, my name is Nildo Essá and I am the Owner of FX Animation Studios. The studio was founded back in 2004 and up until around the year 2017, our work was mainly focused on TV commercials mostly sub-contracted by local advert agencies. Alongside client work, whenever we could, we would invest our time on our own IP, Os Pestinhas aka, The Troublemakers.

As we complete 20 Years of operations in 2024, we find ourselves in the middle of production of our very first animated feature film, Kibwe, and when it’s complete, it will be the first animated film out of Mozambique.

We now use Blender, Unreal Engine, and Reallusion’s iClone and Character Creator 4 (CC4) tools. As a small team, we can leverage iClone’s LIVE LINK and the CC Control Rig plugin for Unreal Engine to enhance speed, efficiency, and enable real-time animation editing, character control, and synchronized camera movements.
