Now we get to have a lot of fun by adding one of the strongest components of any story—the characters.

In the world of iClone, actors, avatars, and characters are the same thing. They are pre-rigged functional 3D characters than can be animated and have a built-in automatic lip-sync feature. Characters can use pre-made motions or animations and can be keyframed manually with the timeline.

Clothing can be modified to suit the needs of the scene. Facial features and other aspects of the character can be changed with the click of a button or the move of a slider control. Body parts can be changed and even hair and shoes can be modified.
