The process is easy and uses a WYSIWYG interface that allows you to incorporate and optimize the face, and design the character from a gallery of template items. The results can be exported as AVI, GIF animation or other image formats. iClone also includes an Export Wizard, that allows you to export the character as desktops, greetings cards, email signatures and other items, however this wizard is not available during the trial.
