Note: *Make sure you have updated all the iClone family programs to the latest version (iClone v6.3, 3DXchange v6.3, Character Creator v1.3) before you launch iClone 6*
Check out the video below to see all the new changes in action.
iClone v6.3 Changelog
*New* CrazyTalk 8 and iClone Related:

You can now save head imported from CrazyTalk 8, or the heads of any CC characters and re-apply them to a different CC character.

2. In the Content Manager, select Actor tab
3. Select Custom tab
4. Select Head

iClone v6.3: New Features
Added: "Remove Scene Animation" command with the following options: "Keep First Frame", "Keep Last Frame", and "Keep Current Frame".
This will allow you to delete all the scene animations and keep one frame as the base for the new project. Access this by right clicking on the empty spaces in the scene without any objects selected. This is helpful when you want to break a long project into several smaller, more manageable projects. Important thing to note is that all the Links will be flattened, and will need to be re-linked. Constraints will also be removed.
Example: Keep Current Frame
Added: Added Show/Hide Play Bar button in timeline toolbar
Added: F9 hotkey to show/hide Play Bar
The new button is located at the upper right hand corner of the Timeline window. Use the hot-key in full-screen or edit mode to quickly toggle the Play Bar display.
Enhanced: Always keep the last value of Bone Mode settings
iClone will now remember if you have Bone Edit Mode enabled when you close and re-open the Edit Animation Layer window; works for prop (bone-rigged) and human.
Added: Add "Reset" to Reset Motion for Prop & Non-human animation layer
You can now add Reset key for Prop (Bone-Rigged) & Non-human under Edit Animation Layer window.
Added: Option to hide iClone 3D view message panel. Access this under Edit / Preference / Display
No more pop-ups from the message panel when you hide it with this option, so you can concentrate on your work!
Added: Global arrow key for frame stepping forward/backward
You no longer need to click and switch focus to Timeline window when you want to use the arrow keys to jump between frames. The arrow key is now set to global, meaning that you can switch frame even when you are working in the 3D viewport.
Added: Audio Scrubbing in timeline.
Useful when editing lip-sync. Go to Preference / Control to toggle this option, or use the "Ctrl-H" hot-key

Audio scrubbing?  Yay!
HDR "Spectral Cross" fixed? That will make numerous people happy.
Launch CrazyTalk "Head Creator" directly from iClone? Cool.
Looks like a nice set of enhancements and fixes. Looking forward to playing with it this weekend. Thanks, Reallusion.

Audio scrubbing thank you so much for this it will make it so much easier.
Just did my 3 updates and first thing I checked out was the audio scrubbing on a project I have only just put a video up Make Someone Happy in showcase yourself.
I did say in the post that key framing was tiring but this will make it so much easier.

It's in mine (under patch/update).

However, I can't find a way to update Character Creator, so if anyone knows how please let me know (I don't have the download under my account, at least that I can tell, even though it's been installed on my system for many months).

CrazyTalk 8 Pipeline is now available. If you got a free copy in the pre-sale offer you should be able to find the download links in your Member Account. 
|
|
By Kelleytoons - 9 Years Ago

Well, it's not there, Peter (and I did get a free copy -- at least it said I qualified).
So the question remains, should I install the trial until my serial number is sent?

Ah, right, it's there.
Now if I only had my CT8 Pipeline there as well...
Edit: No, I take it back. I have the CC expansion pack, but no 1.3 patch.

Haven't seen an 6.3 issues thread so I'll post here for now. Don't know if anyone else is having
this issue still but "Shadow Bias" still doesn't work for me with the new 6.3 patch.

Nice job RL!!!
I like the Keep Last frame feature: I am just working on a new project that is going to be populated with many characters.... very useful!!
Also, I think the arrow control makes the editing more comfortable.
Thumbs up.
Roberto
PS: then, if you want to consider some of these 25 wishlist points (https://forum.reallusion.com/263763/25-wishful-features) for the next update, feel free to do it

Thank you RL!
These are some very nice UI enhancements.
That control bar under the window always rubbed me the wrong the way with how much space it took up. Now I can just get rid of it altogether.

looks like a lot of the little annoying bugs are cleaned up and some nice useful features have been added. I was not going to purchase the crazytalk thingy right now, but it all looks so fun I can't help myself. I am trying to not spend money, but you guys make it hard LOL.
Anyhow thanks for the new stuff as usual my 3D addiction is well satisfied ..
*goes off to spend more money*

I'm exhausted!!!
Updated CrazyTalk Animator 2 to 2.1 and then to 2.15 (I had missed the patches and also downloaded/installed + Resource pack + Bonus pack)
Updated iClone 6.2 to 6.3 (Also ensured I had put in the updated Resource Pack from ages ago)
Updated 3DXchange 6.2 to 6.3
Updated Character Creator 1.21 to 1.3
Installed my brand new CrazyTalk 8 Pipeline, + Bonus pack + Resource pack
CrazyTalk 8 launched (that's a far as I've gone so far, haven't started learning it yet)
3DXchange launches
Character Creator launches
iClone 6 launches... audio scrubbing works (THANK YOU!!!)... Indigo plug-in still works
I did all those installs/updates/patches/launches without a single reboot. My very last test, launching Character creator, locked up my computer solid (had to press the reset button), but everything was fine after the forced reboot.

Thanks RL.
Audio scrubbing! Finally!
Is character creator dx9 compatible now?
Do we need to install the 6.2 patches before 6.3?

All good over here. Great features with update and good to see particles back in the scene pane.

Remove Scene Animation-> Keep First/Current/last Frame ... FANTASTIC feature!!!
I just used it and it and it works perfectly.
It is what we needed to build up crowded and complex scenes: great job RL.
