For iClone 6 now supports NVidia's PhysX technology which enables natural real-time simulation for hair and cloth movement, Reallusion has also enhanced the rigid body system with a brand new visual constraints system to easier structure sophisticated physics behavior. Enhancing the creation of natural scene is possible now as iClone 6 has upgraded it's SpeedTree engine to give wind control over timeline and trees now come with multiple texture channels enhanced with normal, specular, and even transmissive effects. The powerful Substance engine is built-in to iClone 6 empowering users to easily add dynamic texture behaviors to existing iClone materials, as well as provide texture blending animation capabilities. Additionally, users can also load the vast Substance material library or create their own by using Allegorithmic's Substance Designer tool.
