Hi I'm new to iclone and just watched the iclone 5 tutorial for 2d photo to 3d head.

seems like a nice feature but I can't find it in iclone 6

has it gone?

cheers

Jim

Ok stand down!  I see it is there but only works on g5 people.

cheers

That brings up an interesting question (for me at least) . I haven't gotten my comp up to snuff for IC6 yet, so can you tell me if you can then place the custom IC5 head on an IC6 body? ( I think of it as Frankensteining an avatar. )

No. The G6 avatars are a completely different breed. They are far more Daz-like, in that they do not have interchangable parts or facial bones. RL has decided a mesh-morph based approach is better. The G6 avatars certainly have better visemes out of the box.

Somewhere down the road, in 3DXchange 6.x, there will be some sort of character builder. Peter has said "think Mixamo", so it'll have some similarity to Mixamo, and probably a lot to Daz.

Thanks Rampa. One of the things I like best about IC5 is being able to customize characters. That'll be a big plus when IC6 catches up to that.

I was about to buy iClone6 but the lack of photo support for G6 avatars now rules it out. Sorry

Face creation is available for iClone 6 Character Creator avatars (with much higher quality), but it requires a separate product, CrazyTalk 8 Pipeline. Heads created in CT8 are compatible with CT, iClone and Character Creator.

G6 avatars were an interim characters released with iClone 6 before Character Creator (which is part of iClone Pro) was released.
