iClone 8.65 is Now Released - Enhanced Unreal Workflow, AccuPOSE Major Updates, and bugs fixed

iClone 8.65 delivers a smoother, more reliable production workflow with improvements across performance, loading, rendering, and pipeline export. This update enhances Unreal and FBX transfer stability (including smarter skeleton handling and multiple export fixes), resolves a wide range of issues in Timeline, LipSync, USD import, and content compatibility, and improves overall usability (layout saving, fewer activation errors). It also updates AccuPOSE INFINITY by moving to a perpetual license and adding new packs, including a new Cartoon set plus Action/Adventure and Combat additions.

Import USD

Fixed importing a USD file via Plugins > Omniverse > Import USD creating an additional layer of sub-props in the Scene Manager.
Timeline

Fixed inability to set the first default key for the morph track causing morph animation to disappear.

Fixed linked morph keys not being deleted together when one morph key is removed from the Timeline.

Fixed child morphs not moving along with parent morphs.
