armstrong-jr — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 18:33:16 GMT

Just got Computer Shopper (UK mag) with iClone2 SE on the dvd.
To my surprise it's installed and loaded with no problems in wine on Linux. :w00t:
Now to see what it does. :hehe:

News Room set

mathahn — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 03:05:19 GMT

I uninstalled iClone 2.5 before I installed v. 3, and then I found there is no News Room set in v. 3. So I reinstalled v. 2.5, and the News Room set is missing. Is there any way I can get it back? Even if I have to pay for it? Thanks.

How to get character to realistically hold guitar

Agtcerami — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 02:57:37 GMT

Just purchased a guitar pack and guitar motions. However, I can not figure out how to get the character to realistically hold the guitar so that the strumming hand is over the frets. In otherwords, the guitar is in front of the character and entirely blocks the view of his hands.How is this solved?Spanky

A question regarding measurement for human characters....

martok2112 — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 14:05:54 GMT

Is there a measurement device (meters or feet) in iClone 3.2 PRO that will allow me to scale my characters properly to each other? Or if not that, would it be safe to assume that the scale for the grid layout when designing a character is 1 meter per square?

Thanks in advance,
Martok2112 :)

chroma key to let the background see through?

spamfreeliu — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 23:51:22 GMT

Is it possible to create a FLV with transparency? Even though I import the character with transparency, I have to choose the background color when generating a FLV. I'd like to be able to place FLV to a background that the character can seamlessly mixed with the background.

Is it possible with CrazyTalk?

Thanks,

Creating the stig

miriam.scurrah — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 19:21:44 GMT

Hi, I have iClone 2.5 and I want to create the Stig (from Top Gear). I can clone cloth his suit but I'm not sure how to create the helmet and gloves (I thought maybe just change the skin tone for the gloves?) I have bought helmet props from the online store but obviously need a white motobike helmet like the Stig wears. Any tips? Or any developers wanting to help me out - happy to purchase if you take Diners Card!!

Hi,I need to create a 30 second clip (.FLV) using the new Battleground Hundred Years War like the one located here: http://www.reallusion.com/contentstore/csproduct.aspx?contentid=icHundredYearsWarBattleground&MenuItem=ic_scene&Type=3DScenemovie on the right.

Music won't play after save

miriam.scurrah — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 20:43:33 GMT

Just installed iclone 2 on my networked laptop at work. Music plays fine, when exporting a project it also plays fine BUT if I save the project and then reload it - music is gone! Yes I am a real noob (installed ten minutes ago) and my IT department is not familiar with the software so I am on my own! When I save the facial animations they work, objects added remain also. BUT I cannot apply any motion at all either. Can someone out there in the community give me some advice please? Many thanks.:D

HOW TO DRESS G2 NATURAL HUMAN BASE CHARACTERS?

FINANCIALCYBERNETICS — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 02:41:37 GMT

Purchased the g2 natural human base set figuring I would get substantial flexability in matching a real person's face photos to the best g2 figure.

I was under the impression after reading the documentation prior to purchase that I could select clothing to put on these figures via the double texturing feature.

What I understood is that the first texture is the skin and the second texture would be anything overlaid and conformed to the skin like clonecloth. So far, I found it dificult to create any nice clothed natural looking characters using this base.

For example, I tried to create a character to match my niece, a six year old. I used the junior figure base, overlaid Jane clone casual lower body cloths to put some pants on her and used Jack clone casual upper body cloths to dress her upper body to reduce the breast feature of a an adult female. The result still looked like a kid with a well developed chest without breasts but also unlike that of a female child.

So I have this $100 character data set taking up space on my drive without being able to do anything with it except maybe porno. (not into that!!)

Have any solutions! If not, can you Guys/woman send a email/note/blog or whatever to Reallusion that they have a great product with this set but where is the other half!

3dxchange export problem

ronmorrill — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 15:12:15 GMT

I have downloaded the trial version of 3dxchange and have a problem exporting my creation (made in sketchup) to iclone2. I can export downloads from 3dwarehouse OK. I export my own drawing to 3dxchange OK, and from there I can export the file to iclone2 as .org file. The file appears in the props custom area as an avatar icon. But when I try to install into iclone2 I get error message "file type unknown".I am obviously missing something but having trawled the forum I can't find anyone else mentioning this problem.Anyone have any answers for me?Ron

IClone, SP3 and the blue screen of death

jjwebb — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 21:54:35 GMT

Looks like my use of IClone has come to an end prematurely. My machine upgraded to XP service pack 3 and now the motion editor throws the blue screen of death every time it's started. Even after, upgrading drivers, re-installing direct x 9.0c and trying to use it on only the default project with nothing else loaded into memory.Windows XP, SP3, ATi's radeon HD 2600 PRO, and the iclone motion editor combine to throw the blue screen of death because of ati3daug.dll stopping, address BF275B05 at BF185000, datestamp 48286321.I've searched around the net and find that gamers are getting this same error. No one seems to know what to do about it. What it does do is stops me in my tracks with IClone. $200 for seven months use of a tool just seems so wrong to me. I feel cheated. I haven't figured out just who yet, but MicroSoft, AMD and Reallusion are the contenders. Does anyone at Reallusion know how to correct this fiasco? Has anyone else noted the burn?-blue

Barbie-like character set

Robby_20090922185200976 — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 16:38:01 GMT

Hi everybody,we're working on a new character for iClone 2/3. It will be a Barbie-like character that works together with CloneCloth. So we will include various clothes to this package too.But we have a problem here:Since the production process for this Barbie-Doll is rather complex, we would like to know, if iClone users will need a complete set of charaters. A set where Barbei and Ken and some other dolls are included. Or, is the Barbie itself important enough?What do you think?Yours,Robby

I just wasted cash on Clone CLoth

setroc2 — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 21:01:56 GMT

I purchased about a month ago the overcoat cloth cloth, only to find outthat a new and better clone cloth for G2 for the same price is now being sold Its not fair and Reallussion should offer at least a discount.

Content Packs for German version

eliza.skywalker — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 19:43:35 GMT

I just looked on the German content store for some content packs (I use the German Version of iClone Studio 2.5) - but I am a little bit disappointed because there is not so much available as in the store for the English version and mostly big, expensive packages. I only need some Clone-Cloth stuff like overcoat and dress but not all of the other things that are in the offered volumes - and I know for the English version you can get most things separate.Unfortunately the German page says that I have to use the German content packs when I use the German version of iClone. Is this really true:w00t: - even for the Clone Cloth-stuff?That would be horrible for me because the German Clone Cloth Volume package is very expensive - and most of it I don't need.I am afraid it would be cheaper to give away my German version and switch to the English one.

"Barbie"-like characters and more?

Robby_20090922185200976 — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 04:28:59 GMT

Hi there,since we're just working on a new character package for iClone 2/3 that will contain a "Barbie"-like doll, it is very important for us to know if users would need more such doll characters? Or is the legend itself (Barbie) enough.The name "Barbie" just stands for a character-doll that looks similiar and that can be used to make comic-like movies. It doe not mean that we're copying anything of the Barbie product as such. We need to say that, because the copyright owner of Barbie is very touchy concerning his blonde poison!;)Many thanx in advance,Robby

How do I chg the Xor Character

How to walk with Iclone 2.5 and Motion Editor

Apparition — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 20:55:43 GMT

I'm sure there is a simple thing to do...I use the walk motions but model stays put in place....How do I use walking motions in the editor as to make the character really walk and not only move his legs?I'm sure I read something about it somewhere, but I can't recall...Any advice, very appreciated.Mike

Voice Changing Software Search

gizmo — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 11:38:41 GMT

Hi. Firstly thanks to everyone who has helped and e-mailed in the recent past.

I have an idea for an iClone project but as there will be many characters in the script I am looking for a good voice changing software package. (For some reason my voice does not quite suit the 'big screen').

I have tried two or three packages but they are not great and not consistent. I have even tried toy microphone voice changers, handkerchiefs over the mike and a variety of other things.

I would ideally like a Text to Speech package that does not give out Microsoft 'android sounding' voices, but I am obviously open to any suggestions.

Thanks very much in advance.

What are the best settings for avi-export?

eliza.skywalker — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 07:37:08 GMT

Maybe someone can give me advice on this topic. What are the best settings when I want do export a scene to edit it in a video editing programme (i. e. Magix Deluxe) to make a DVD (PAL system for Germany) later on? How many fps are the best - 25 or 30 (I tried both but couldn't see a big difference)? Which size would do best? Shall I chose "good rendering" or "best rendering" - how much is the difference between this options?I use the standard settings now, but maybe this is not the best way to export my scenes. That's why I though I should ask for your experiences.

Import of Sketchup files

eliza.skywalker — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 08:20:20 GMT

Is it possible to import Sketchup files (free version - it comes with sketchup format files oder Google Earth file format)? Maybe there is an addon or plugin?Or do I have to go over Blender software with Python script?Or is there another software (freeware would be fine) to create special rooms?I want to create rooms of a castle-like building and some spaceport interiors. So someone told me Sketchup would be fine for that purpose. But unfortunately the free version doesn't export to obj format.

Very Upset with Customer Support

jdezenz — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 13:33:21 GMT

I started out using Iclone and CrazyTalk and have been a premium member for years. I have purchased all of the products from reallusion and decided to dust off my software collection and try things out again after a long lull in using the tools.I first went back online to see what I could use (free upgrades, etc.). I download the latest software that I'm "allowed" to use and had my serials resent to me for both products. I go to install the products and see an error stating that I've activated the products 5 times already.This basically means that using any of Reallusion's products forces users to not ever install or upgrade their machine. As I have reinstalled XP numerous times and then upgraded to 64-bit vista and then back down to 32-bit vista, I installed and activated my products (even though I didn't necessarily use them).I sent a support ticket since reallusion doesn't have customer phone support on Thursday last week and now it's well past midday on Monday and not a single reply to my ticket or anything. I'm pretty upset with the lack of customer support for their products. I was going to try the 1.5 version that I'm entitled to via my subscriptions and then if I still liked it, was going to trial the latest version and even purchase it.How can I purchase a product from a company that has horrible support though? What kind of company checks their serial numbers based on "activation checks". That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. Check the product based on "use" not activation. And, how can you make someone wait for days before they can use a product they paid for?There ought to be come kind of legal course of action I can take against this company for taking my money and then not allowing me to use the products I paid for. As you can tell I'm pretty upset but with good reason. When you spend as much money as I have and you support a company for as long as I have, and you are a "premium" member, don't you think you'd have some type of support that works?If Reallusion can't respond to my tickets or allow me the use of the products I purchased, I want my money fully refunded.

Iclone 3.0 features from 2.0

setroc2 — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 08:02:26 GMT

If I have a previous animation from 2.0 - 2.5 what features will be availablefrom 3.0 to use on my animation? Does the character morphing only relate G3 characters?Will there be any reason to keep G1 characters if we cant use any of the new features in 3.0?

licensing question

Darren01 — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 07:00:07 GMT

I bought iClone 2.5 a couple of weeks ago, and eagerly awaiting my free upgrade to V3 later this week.my question is, once I install v3 can uninstall v2.5 from my desktop PC and then re-install v2.5 on my laptop ? I'm often away from home for a week or more at a time with my job, and usually I'm stuck in some little country town in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do after work except sit in the motel room watching infomercials on the television or drinking beer at the pub with the local farmers and truck drivers... I'd rather bring my laptop along and do some work on my next blockbuster iClone production !!Does license for the free upgrade to v3, allow me to use v2.5 on another computer ?

How to make a character's face becoming red

Hi,Is there a chance (i. e. via SFX) to make the head of my character blush when he is embarressed? I saw that this is possible in Crazy Talk and I am wondering if there is a way to do this in iClone.

rotating

wuerth.hetz — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 11:30:49 GMT

HiI'm using Iclone for animating google sketchup models.So I made an object in sketchup imported it in Iclone exchange and then imported it into Iclone studio 2.5. Now what I want to do is rotate this object around its own axis.I found out how to rotate requisits and it works fine but when I rotate this object it rotates around a certain point (although I don't know where/what this point is).What I want to do is to make this object rotate around its own axis. Is there a way to do this?-Tim

motion editor

diman2 — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 01:23:11 GMT

this may sound silly but i seem to be unable to access my custom motions. i can in i clone but not in the editor. only as a project. my problem is for timing purposes i built several motions to work with a music video and now i need to access them all to build the final product. i created a new folder and can find it when i move my custom motions to that folder its in iclone but not the editor itself. hope i'm making sense this is frustrating i need the ones i built not rebuildthanks for the help. it might be something simple i'm just not getting. thanks again.

iClone Studio V1.5 Upgrade to V3

colour — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 09:05:53 GMT

Hi AllI have iClone Studio V1.5. As far as I can see, if you purchase V2.5 as a new User, then you would get V3 Free. However, if you Upgrade to V2.5, you don't. Am I correct?So is the cheapest Route for me to Upgrade to V2.5 & then V3 or Upgrade directly to V3, or would there be no difference?TIAPeter
