Frequently asked questions
You’ll learn professional-level 3D animation inside iClone 8. From navigation and scene creation to motion capture, facial animation, lighting, FX, and rendering. The course takes you from the basics to advanced cinematic animation techniques used in real productions.
No prior experience is required. The course is designed for both beginners and intermediate users, guiding you step-by-step from foundational concepts to professional workflows.
You’ll need iClone 8 (and optionally Character Creator 4 for character work). Some modules also cover integration with Unreal Engine 5 for advanced rendering and real-time cinematics.
iClone 8 currently runs on Windows only. However, Mac users can run it through Boot Camp, Parallels, or a Windows partition setup.
Once enrolled, you receive lifetime access to all modules including any future updates or new lessons added to the course.
Yes. Upon completion, you’ll receive an official Certificate of Completion from iClone 3D Academy, issued by a Reallusion Certified Instructor, recognizing your mastery of professional 3D animation skills.
Absolutely. The course includes dedicated mocap training with Perception Neuron, but the principles apply to any compatible motion capture device. You’ll learn how to record, clean up, and refine motion data directly inside iClone 8.
Yes, this course evolves monthly with new tutorials, techniques, and scene breakdowns. Students can also request specific tutorials to be added based on their learning needs.
This is a structured, professional training program built around a complete production workflow. Each module builds on the last, focusing on real-world results and professional standards, not just quick tips or isolated tricks.
Yes, enrolled students have direct access to instructor Tristram Anyiam for guidance, feedback, and support throughout the course. You’re not learning alone; you’re part of a growing community of serious 3D animators.
You can securely purchase the course directly through our website using debit or credit card, PayPal, or any supported online payment method. All transactions are encrypted and 100% secure.
