so in the end I have to pay $300 in total to get 3.0 and new users get it for $200 ? :-(

Only if you made your purchase using the offers on the link below I'm afraid. The discounts for those who have already purchased can be found from the link below as well.

[quote][b]Capemedia (7/22/2008)[/b][hr]Amazing new product and something I would snap up in a second, unfortunately I have no PC to install it on at this time :crying:

However come the end of the year, I'll be up and running again :w00t:[/quote]

Really sorry to hear that Cape. I hope you'll be back in production real soon. :(

Has it actually been confirmed to actually work fully with ATI cards? I'm interested in 3.0 but after my troubles with 2.5, I'm concerned about it working with ATI cards. I don't want to spend more money only to get told to buy Nvidia. If it does it fact work with ATI cards this time around I'll be a happy guy.[quote][b]Peter Edwards (7/21/2008)[/b]System Requirements===================Pentium4 1GHz or higher recommended512 MB RAM or higher recommended2GB hard disk or higher recommendedDisplay Resolution: High Color (24-bit) or True Color (32-bit)Graphic Card*: Support for DirectX 9.0 or higher recommendedVideo Memory: 128 MB RAM or higher recommended Sound card / Keyboard / Mouse / SpeakerInternet connection required for online activationVideo card compatible with Pixel Shader 3.0 recommended for optimized visual performance 3 button mousenVidia GeForce6\ ATI X2xxx\ Intel X3*SiS chipsets are not supported.Operating System-Windows XP SP2/VistaOthersDirectX 9 and WMEncoder 9 are required for WMV exporting[/quote]

Quick question Reallusion staff: Will there be the ability to control the camera/character ect. movement/speed utilizing the analog capabilities of a dual analog controller in IC3?

[quote][b]chris_w12884 (7/20/2008)[/b][hr] not that I wouldn't pay if I gotta but it would seem so unfair that new 2.5 buyers get the upgrade to 3 for free when I just bought mine only a few months ago.[/quote]I bought my 2.5 version 3 weeks ago ...

chris_w12884 — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 17:39:33 GMT

OMG the new Iclone looks soooo awesome. so If I bought Iclone 2.5 studio just a few months ago I have to pay for the upgrade to 3.0? not that I wouldn't pay if I gotta but it would seem so unfair that new 2.5 buyers get the upgrade to 3 for free when I just bought mine only a few months ago. I actually never really use 2.5 anymore because I found it too hard to do a lot of stuff with it but 3 seems like a lot of those issues are fixed and improved upon. oh yeah and one more thing.... ALL HAIL REALUSION :D

Sea Monkeys .. that takes me back. So much excitement waiting for them to come only to find they were a pretty underwhelming experience when you finally got them. :hehe:

Boy it sure looks great. I'm soooo excited!! I have checked nearly every day for a long while for news about 3.0 .... (kind of like checking the mail when I was a kid for my fabulous sea monkies ... just add water they'll come alive .. please allow 6 weeks for delivery)jo

It's great to see everyone buzzing about the amazing new features coming in iClone 3. When I said the iClone team had been working hard I meant really, really hard. ;)

As your eagle eyes have spotted there is dynamic hair in the video. There is also dynamic cloth props too, which have variable flex settings to get the look and movement you want.

It's impressive stuff. :D

[quote]" I wonder if this hair dynamics can be universally applied to all hair with adjustable strength peramitters."I'm not sure about "the lenght" since the character's hair in iclone is patch base geometry. (I'm not talking about splines but geometry poly planes mapped with opacity maps).As far as universally dynamic, I'm not sure either unless the previous hair styles had some kind of embeded information for the engine to know where the root of the hair is and where the tips are, my guess is that future hair styles/libraries will have Dynamic "able" capabilities.Peter feel free to clarify if this is not correct, im just guessing here.

Peter feel free to clarify if this is not correct, im just guessing here. :)"As far as computer muscle for cloth goes, my final render won't be realtime GPU dependant, but CPU dependant, so multiple clothed avitars will achieve final animation just fine. All of the latest cards however can easily handle a single on-screen avitar with dynamic cloth applied for realtime sims. A large amount of geometry on-screen at once will slow any GPU eventually. So I wouldn't attempt to put numerous avitars on-screen with dynamic cloth applied until final render. iClone 3 comes with a feature to change the detail of any individual objects gometry anyway, so this is really not an issue, if it becomes one I'll get a better card, but my Ati 2300 HD card on my 2.2 Ghz 14'' Waicom penabled Gateway tablet pc gets the job done just fine, considering I can use iClone anywhere except maybe say...underwater. :cool: "I see what you mean.PS: I just realized you mentioned strenght not lenght.
