Hi Guys

OK...Im a complete noob to iclone.....i downloaded the free version and loved it, and now im going to purchase a full copy, i have compared the std and pro versions, and the only difference i can see is that the pro has something called BVH.....is this correct ?

or am i missing something.......

Thanks

Brian.........................Im in the UK

Hi Brian - definitely go with the Pro version. I believe the Std version also lacks the Timeline Editor which I don't know how to do without. Also now is the perfect time to purchase because you'll get a free upgrade to iClone 4 when it is released.

Oh, and welcome to the forum! :)

Thanks for such a speedy reply.........

and ....are you psychic or something , because i was just about to edit my first post with "does anyone know if the upgrade to iC4 will be free..........Weird....

Thanks again.........

Actually i do have another question tho.......is it worth getting the dream girls pack offer thay have at the moment ? I have a budget of £200.00 so was looking to buy some add-ons...or if you could recommend the best add-ons...

Cheers

Brian

I think it depends on what kind of movies you're looking to be making. If such a pack will fit into your plans and if you need everything the pack includes, then go for it. The other option would be to purchase Direct Access Points and just pick and choose pieces of the pack that you want through BackStage.

An essential add on for me is 3DXchange - if it isn't bundled with your iClone purchase wait until after you've bought iClone, go into your account and there should be a $20 discount for it). With it you can import an immense number of free models via Google 3D Warehouse or other compatible 3D models.

Another must have pack is the G3 Clone Cloth - both for Man and Woman (you can get the two together for $160 - I'm not sure what that is in pounds). With this pack, you can design your own clothing as well as take advantage of some of the clothing freebies available (most freebies so far were designed for the G2 Clone Cloth). I think this is essential for diversifying the look of your characters.

Hope this helps some!

Oh, and please don't forget - there are lots of freebies available. CoolClones is a great forum that offers a ton of them as well as a place you can ask for help. :)

Thank you very much for the info......I think i will just buy the pro version and take it from there...

Cheers
