Our Story
Twenty years ago we launched Reallusion and started a journey together to help people enter the world of animation. The Real-time Revolution began with a mission to open the threshold to a new era of creators.
The beginning of our story starts with a whole new way of storytelling. First we introduced the power to make any image talk with CrazyTalk, the photo animation flagship that started it all. Rapid character creation, facial animation, and lip sync technology innovation became the core components to the tools. This grew beyond 2D animation fueling the efforts to apply the same simple, yet powerful approach to bringing our 3D animation tools to the product family. It’sMe, a 3D character creation and animation experiment gave way to iClone, Character Creator and groundbreaking motion capture, animation, and a real-time pipeline that is now behind $200 million dollar films like the 2021 release of The Suicide Squad, while empowering independent creators, students, and studios with the same technology.
Over the last 20 years we have developed solutions, partnerships and many outstanding relationships with the mission in mind to deliver a total 2D and 3D animation pipeline that is accessible to all. We are so enthusiastic about the future and the breakthroughs for us all in the next 20 years. This is truly an amazing time to be a storyteller and may we together continue to write and animate the story of our lives.
What Loyal Users Say
I don't remember exactly how, but I discovered iClone about 16 years ago. Version 1.5 had just come out. I had used other 3D programs before, but the ease of use of iClone appealed to me. Since I have been with iClone so long, I could grow and learn while features were being added. I have also been stubborn in trying to stay within iClone as much as possible. With the addition of the very capable Character Creator, I can create customized characters with ease. Also, the native renderer keeps improving.

I am now almost 65 years old and I have Semantic dementia which got me to
retire from my job as a computer programer boss.
But me doing things I want to do is still fine for me and the biggest things for me now are:
Making movies in iClone
Making characters in CC is big for me
Making models in Blender for use in CC and iClone
Using 3DXchange for loading my props for iClone
