Getting Started with the Working Environment: Path for
Design Assets and Projects
|
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: (using default path
during installation)
C:\Program Files\Reallusion\iClone 2\Template\iClone Template
(If the link fails to open the folder correctly,
it may be that you have iClone installed to a customized folder. Please
search it manually where you installed your iClone.)
-
This path keeps projects preinstalled in the iClone program,
or further content auto installed from iClone content packs. 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.
-
The prior version of iClone is installed to
C:\Program Files\Reallusion\iClone\Template\iClone
Template.
-
For power users, you can manage your template folder via Windows
file manager.
User Custom Projects (on Windows XP for example,
using default path during installation):
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Reallusion\Custom\iClone 2
Custom
(If the link fails to open the folder correctly,
it may be that you have iClone installed to a customized folder. Please
search it manually where you installed your iClone.)
-
Users own creation are stored in the User Custom Folder, users can
delete, move, rename, update those projects from the iClone program.
-
The custom folders for the prior version are installed to
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Reallusion\Custom\iClone
Custom.
It is recommended for all the iClone users having installed
prior version of iClone to copy these files manually to the corresponding
folders in the path listed above.
-
Alternatively, you may download and execute an
application to copy the files for you:
http://www.reallusion.com/templates/linkcount/linkcount.asp?lid=iceus39
You can customize your own thumb image representing your unique design
assets by right clicking on gallery items then choose- load custom thumbnail. |

Notes
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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 a 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".
