If you are a Windows user then there's a special perk

If you're interested in iClone and was wondering how hard it is to learn then that's what this series is about, my experience of learning iClone 5 using Reallusion's Quick Fix Video Tutorials . Click the following links for Part 1 , Part 2 and Part 3 . If you're just looking to learn iClone then skip this and try the tutorials for yourself as this series is not a how to guide for iClone 5. The Rigid Body Physics tutorial demonstrates how to construct a simple car crash into a stack of barrels.
