"iClone is the tool of choice for a daily TV news magazine. There is no other 3D package that gives you such speed," said Thorsten Strack, Executive Director, L4 Kreation, Germany. "I have never worked with a 3D package that gives so much creative freedom; it feels like filmmaking, not 3D editing."  

iClone has introduced students, professionals and independent filmmakers worldwide to the real-time art of 3D animation, digital storytelling and digital content creation.
