Material listings

Mike Aparicio — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 20:24:28 GMT

Dear friends:I am at well advanced stage with MAX plugin for G3.But I need certainty about the material names to be used. Also I need to be sure which are accepted (standard, multi-sub-object, etc)I am not sure if the connection vertex at the body to head, hand, shoes are still used as selection sets, and i need the names for those.Please my friends Peter and Jason, also experienced CCDs. I will reward with eternal gratitude any help provided:PMike

Elephant Character

venunow — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 08:20:38 GMT

Hi Everyone!Special thanks to the forum moderators for helping IC users like me. The respone in my earlier topic was very helpful and informative.I never used 3DS Max and i've been using Blender 3D since a very very long time before i purchased Iclone six months back. Blender 3D is versatile and freeware for 3D Modeling, Rigging and Animation Production, it supports most of the 3D formats in Industry. Unfortunately It doesn't have the ease of using Motion capture (.bvh files) to its rigs and also it does not have Iclone Export Plugin like reallusion is marketing for 3DS Max character, accessories, props, scenes, etc export to iclone. 3DS Max is a very expensive program to be used by majoriy of CCD members like me. If there is a Blender 3D Plugin, I consider the floodgates for more animal or other quality content packs from CCD members can make iclone the most desired product in the market in the long run.Also, I would like to bring to your notice that i want to use an elephant character in my project. Can i use the character with animation exported in FBX from blender 3D or DAZ 3D into max and export it for iclone ? will the Elephant character work in my iclone 3.0 Standard Edition ?

Developers - Say Hello

Peter Edwards — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 10:34:09 GMT

Hi,

The CCD program has been running for quite some time now and the Content Store is really beginning to grow as more and more developers are realizing the potential of the CCD.

There may be many out there who have never posted here before or even those that have, why not say hello and tell us your opinions of the CCD so far and anything you'd like to see improved. Also why not tell us a little about what you are working on. You don't have to give away any secrets, just a little about the type of content you are developing.

Your thoughts and opinions are important to Reallusion so why not share them with us here.

Thanks

Pete

A G2 Max template Question:

LocrianII — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 01:10:56 GMT

Gosh I hate being the new guy...whewwAnyways, Im not real sure on what has to be done to apply for this and I didn't want to dirty up the pinned topic so I'll just ask here.I've heard by others you have to submit a G2 clone cloth texture. So I sent mine to the address located on this page: [url=http://developer.reallusion.com/docs_ic.aspx#More]http://developer.reallusion.com/docs_ic.aspx#More[/url]On that page it is pretty vague, but says to submit it to developer@reallusion.com. So I did this tonight. The instructions were so vague, I not only sent a texture and opacity maps for the G2 Jack Overcoat and Athletic shoes, but some accessories that the outfit needed to be complete as the below link:[url=http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e385/LOCRIANoL/display.jpg?t=1221886586][IMG]http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e385/LOCRIANoL/Display_th.jpg[/IMG][/url]I was only told an outfit....meaning one, or so I thought. The pages that are new on the site:[url=http://developer.reallusion.com/submit_g2g3.aspx]http://developer.reallusion.com/submit_g2g3.aspx[/url] seems to be down, or I'm getting some asp error from it.This is the readme that's sent in the zip to developer@reallusion.com. Will this be enough? Do they plan on selling this, or just making sure you're actually a dev, cause I left my psd I sent real sloppy so they could see the over spray on each layer?[quote]- Developer Submission- Includes: *Read Me.txt *Display.jpg *Accessories *IClone Wars *Ailettes_Left.iAcc *Ailettes_Right.iAcc *Breast_Plate.iAcc *Capsules.iAcc *Gauntlet_Left.iAcc *Gauntlet_Right.iAcc *Greave_Left.iAcc *Greave_Right.iAcc *Pouch_Left.iAcc *Pouch_Right.iAcc *Jack Clone Overcoat Files *Upper_Mtl0_Diffuse_jedi.psd *Upper_Mtl0_Diffuse_jedi2.jpg *Upper_Mtl0_Diffuse_Opacity2.jpg *Jack_Athletic Files *Shoes_Mtl0_Diffuse-jedi_flat2.jpg *Shoes_Mtl0_Diffuse-jedi_flat-Opacity *Props *IClone Wars *Ailettes_Left.VNS *Ailettes_Right.VNS *Breast_Plate.VNS *Caps.VNS *Gauntlet_Left.VNS *Gauntlet_Right.VNS *Greave_Left.VNS *Greave_Right.VNS *Pouch.VNS *Skin Diffuse *lower.jpg *upper.jpg- Construction IClone3: Start with Jack Nude base and apply Jack Clone Overcoat. I chose the 'Long Tide Up' hair to give him that Qui-Gon Jinn kind of vibe. Apply the 'Upper_Mtl0_Diffuse_jedi2.jpg' to the diffuse, and the 'Upper_Mtl0_Diffuse_Opacity2.jpg' to the opacity. With the Overcoat applied, you can now switch to the skin tab and apply the upper.jpg to the 'Upper' and 'Hands' dropdown, and the lower.jpg to the 'Lower' dropdown menu. Click the Shoes tab and chose the Jack_Athletic icon to apply the boots, then under the 'Diffuse' apply the Shoes_Mtl0_Diffuse-jedi_flat2.jpg. In the 'Opacity slot, and load the Upper_Mtl0_Diffuse_Opacity2.jpg, and we're now ready to apply all of the accessories.Under the Custom tab, in the IClone Wars folder apply the Ailettes Left, Ailettes Right, Breast Plate, Capsules, Gauntlet Left, Gauntlet Right, Pouch Left, and Pouch Right.To better emulate the caricature slimness of the movie models, apply the 'Slim' modifier from the 'Body Style' header under the 'Avatar' tab. Lightsaber shown in display can be retrieved with 3dExchange by using the phrase "Lightsaber (ignited)" as a search string.LocrianII[/quote]I left my personal info in the readme as well, like my dev number and such. I have this feeling I've submitted this wrong. Anyways, thanks for any points in the right direction.Loc

Revealing G3 secrets!

Mike Aparicio — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 20:24:16 GMT

Hey folks:Make this experiment:Load a G3 creature such as Violet. Go to the Material edit menu at the right side.Make a white opacity map with photoshop having a BIG black dot in the middle. Load the map into the opacity box. Look at the hole, passing through the character !!!!!!You can make "perforated" characters this way! But the interesting thing is: There is no actual character skin under the clothing!!!!this means the clothing is PART of the skin itself.... Hummmmm......Please moderators. Pass this to RI: Why not releasing some hints for G3 clothing? We could easily increase interest and popularity for Iclone 3 characters. Any way, eventually we are going to discover how to make it. Indeed it is a challenge!!!!!Try the perf, character. Is funny!. You can use this to punch holes into victims in that thriller you are making!!!!!:P:P

Kanes hands

froggy42 — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 20:27:30 GMT

I am working on a new texture for G3 Kane,

I don't seem to have access to the textures for the gloves, they are in the "Hands" of the mesh.

Is there a way for the hand textures to be made available?

possibly via the drop-down texture menu of the Upper texture tab?

VNS exporter for Poser?

laughingcrows — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 02:19:58 GMT

I know you can import character models you've made elsewhere into Poser and rig them. So if you guys came up with a "dummy character rig" for Poser and an exporter, it would sure make a lot of people happy. Plus Poser has such a huge user base, it just seems like a smart move for Iclone to do so.Any hopes of this happening?Thanks.

How much money can I make as a developer?

jpiazzo — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 17:46:30 GMT

I would like to know what the average sales figures for content in the store. I know it all "depends", but there must be some kind of figure that one could use to determine if it is worth putting time in creating products for Iclone.And, what is the deal like with the reallusion store.Do you take a percentage?How much.How and when do you distribute sales funds.Is there one place to find all this info?JP

Plug-in for export Reallusion->Maya

lucasphi — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 16:26:30 GMT

Hi,well, I saw that there's a plugin to export Maya models to reallusion. But, is there a plugin to export from Reallusion to Maya?My laptop broke, so I've lost a few models, and i'm realy not in the mood the re-model them. But I still have them on Reallusion. So, if I could just export them back, that would be realy great.Thx

Character body types not enough!!!

medialab — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 21:43:04 GMT

I am slightly disappointed at the base character options in Iclone.There is only a Twiggy type (ultra anorexia) thin character, a not so skinny one, but not heavy enough, (the "normal one" not very normal), and the "plump" one who is really fat....Is there a way to get intermediate weighted characters, or to adjust their corporal apparent mass?If not, your are looking at a SERIOUS flaw, indeed!!!The "strong" quality applied to a female character makes her look like a man-on-a-lady disguise....

Release G3 characters

jpiazzo — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 12:06:04 GMT

Mabe this is a bit late - but, wouldn't it make sense to release G3 characters - especially clone cloth versions prior to the release of Iclone 3.0 - that way develpers could have content ready to "catch the wave" of the new release.Which make me wonder - will G# work in IC 2.5?JP

help exporting animated prop with BIP rig

froggy42 — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 16:35:33 GMT

I am trying to export an animated prop.

I have skinned it using a 3dMax Biped rigg.

the exporter keeps crashing,

the mesh exports OK on its own but Max crashes when I load the biped.

baffled!

mikecompetillo — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 15:50:36 GMT

I really like how iclone works and so I bought it.Like many users, I desired to do more in developing changes in characters, scenes and props.So I found the 'Developers Center' and as a 'premium member' I qualify to use it and do it, but I am totally lost.I must be blind or stupid. No where can I find how to use the plugins mentioned on these webpages such as 3ds max or maya. I seem to have stumbled upon autodesk's website.Do I need to buy their software in order to be a 'developer' for iclone???Where does it tell anyone what to do on reallusion's site?I must be dense!Someone please enlight me...mikecompetillo@hotmail.com

making content's texture uneditable or copied.

stuckon3d — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 20:43:30 GMT

Hi RL, Just like you did with the "Citizen Extras" pack, where you cant modify the textures. How can we as content creators be able to do that. Is there a flag/function that needs to be checked or is it something that we need to request after submitting our stuff and then you take care of that?thank for the input,Stuckon3d

Where is RL_bones_only.max ?

jpiazzo — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 13:51:47 GMT

Where is the RL_Bones_only.max file mentioned in the RL Characters guide. It is not in the IcloneMaxTemplate archive?Also, can bones be added to non-standard character rigs - for instance bones for tails or long rabbit like ears?Can non-standard characters have animations attached like live props - I'm thinking basic face morphs here?JP

Content Sharing with SecondLife

ina.centaur — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 08:58:53 GMT

One of the reasons why I haven't bought iClone is because of limited content source -- similar to Poser and Daz's problem. I like being able to find something close to virtually anything and everything. (I also like being able to "wear" virtual clothing that I've purchased into eMeetings ;-P.)

IBM and Linden Lab have recently struck a deal that would allow Second Life's vast array of user-created content to be shared with other virtual world and similar systems. I'm wondering when this would be implemented in iClone?

Voice Packs

stuart — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 10:49:33 GMT

Hi Guys,

I am just looking over the CT 5 after not using CT for a while now. A while ago I wanted to create some packs with voices (impressions) and just wanted to know what I save them as? Is it just a ctp file. For example I will create a Hollywood pack with De Niro, Pacino, Walken etc so do I just record the voices and then open them up in CT then save as ctp file.

I would appreciate any help, also any animators wanting to create other packs any ideas welcome.

Regards

Stuart

Natural Human Base - How to use for other then porn?

RockWebcast — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 19:45:07 GMT

I can't believe I'm not completely overlooking something. Surely, I didn't just drop a hundred buck for naked characters I can't put clothes on?

I bought the nine characters in the Natural Human Base. I did this because the marketing page for this add-on straight up implied I could use dual-layered Clone Cloth characters, or normal single-layered well-dressed G2 characters.

Sadly I have been unable to find any way to put clothes of any sort on them. While this would have been amusing when I was but a teen age boy I'm entirely too old for that now.

Someone please point me to a how to page?

Thanks in advance. Micah

CCD submission

Bernita — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 15:18:27 GMT

Hi,

I'm not worried by my first submission, but is it not a funny thing that when checking the content store, I never see any new content? Reallusion said that members send a lot of submissions... but I still see the same content. Are all submisions refused because any of them are mostly bad ? Mmmh, really curious... or Reallusion Team is very exacting. For all that, I'm happy, my one has been certified. I'm waiting, you never know (and sorry for my bad english:)).

A CCD Complaint!!!

zechariah4 — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 10:42:05 GMT

So they’ve created a sleek new webpage for submitting our builds. It’s suppose to make the process faster.
There is one fatal flaw. It’s not faster at all.

If the submission process requires their staff to personally check each build and then hand create marketing for it, then having a streamlined submission process is pointless.

This entire process should only take a week at best. I mean, how hard is it to check the size and quality of a build? And how complicated is it to quickly send out an email to the builder and have them make the needed corrections, then get the build into the content store?

I waited several weeks to hear back from them before finally sending an angry email. Then they respond by telling me changes need to be made. Why couldn’t they just get back to me on their own within a few days?

Funny thing is that I keep checking the content store and I don’t see any new content. At least not enough to justify how long it is taking them to get my content into the store.

They need to automate the entire process. Let us create the builds, and all marketing graphics. All they should be doing is checking the size & quality, and letting us know (within 24 hours) of any modifications needed. Once made, our builds should be kept at the top of the publishing list and published ASAP. This is the simple solution.

Is anyone else having this same problem?
