City Elements Medieval Village Vol.1

Armstrong — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 19:47:15 GMT

[b]Congratulations to the graphician in charge of the general theme of this pack.
The new year looks good and this is a superb timesaver of an accessory; very versatile.

Coupled with the signs in the flag pack for Taverns and etc and the environment elements like mist and a litle ambient sound I cant see how visually at least anyone can fail now using this in context.

Just before purchasing.... Where it says "[i]we have kept the parent structure for the doors and objects of some buildings and all the carts"[/i]
Was this supposed to say in that line "kept them SEPERATE???"

Prosperity for the new year and good luck to those who deserve it.
Armstrong.

iClone 3.2 - Performance Upgrade & Easier Thumb Image Preview

Visconti — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 02:29:54 GMT

In iClone 3.2, you will experience the great enhancement in rendering performance especially you are a multi-core CPUs user. Plus, the thumb viewer for iClone native files will be the other addition for your file preview and mangement. You can see the version history below:

Enhanced: Performance enhancement on computers with multi-core CPUs.

Enhanced: Option to launch your video player after video output is finished.

Enhanced: "Align Actor Motion" option under "Animation/Motion" is checked by default now.

Enhanced: Updated the BackStage program icon.

Enhanced: The "Show/Hide" status of all items is now saved when a project is saved.

Added: iClone data files now support thumbnail displays (when browsing for files for example)

Added: "Lock Ratio" option for UV editing under "Material & Texture Settings".

Added: "Effect All Channels" option for UV editing under "Material & Texture Settings".

Added: Default Content - 3D Spaces under Props

Added: Default Content - Artificial Eye uner

Added: Height adjustment for Sky props

Fixed: CloneCloth Caracters did not display "Drop" and "Wall" shadow effects properly in Pixel-Shader mode.

Fixed: CloneBone characters with parts already attached could not be loaded.

Fixed: Loading iClone2 projects would display all particle effects at twice the speed.

Fixed: Loading projects would sometimes not open the reminder message to save your current project.

Fixed: Saving a project would use the current view for the thumbnail of this project.

Fixed: Trinity's eye color could not be adjusted.

Fixed: e-mail addresses with too many characters could not be used to log into iClone3 EX.

Fixed: The "Jeep" iProp could not be animated using the right-click commands on iClone3 EX.

Performance Upgrade

Dramatical improvement on "Quick Shader", especially for animation requires more CPU calcularion such as multiple character animation. "Pixel shader" with intensive material effects, it's more of a GPU bond, with minor performance up. For single CPU, there is no significant difference.

For multi-core 2 CPU
- Quick Shader: 3 times faster (Max.)
- Pixel Shader: 2 times faster (Max.)

For multi-core 4 CPU
- Quick Shader: 4 times faster (Max.)
- Pixel Shader: 3 times faster (Max.)

This summary is based on the research from the internal quality assurance. Reallusion will also keep update the detail report or share the factors which might cause the differences with you.

Thumb Viewer

e.g. Project (Before & After)

e.g. Character (Before & After)

e.g. Material Lib (Load material with easier navigation)

Material Parameter Adjustment

In 3.2, you can adjust material parameters with "Lock Ratio" and "Effect All Channels".
When you lock the ratio, the tiling will be adjusted simultaneously.
When you tick "Effect All Channels", you can adjust the parameters of "Diffuse", "Opacity", "Bump", "Specular", "Glow" in the same time. As to the "Reflection, it won't be effected since the texture attribute is universal.
Note. These features are effective in Pixel Shading Mode only.

Thanks

Cannot install v3.2 Resource Pack

zuijlen — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 11:27:43 GMT

I have updated my iClone PRO to version 3.2 and I have also applied the 20081230 patch. I downloaded the 3.2 Resource Pack, but when I try to install I get a message that starts with:

"Some version(s) of iClone cannot install this resource pack:"

The message then lists my installed versions, including iClone v3.1 PRO, and ends with "The resource pack installation will be terminated".

So, for some reason, the installer does not recognize that I have actually updated to v3.2 (which is conformed when I run iClone; it shows 3.2.1226.1 on the splash screen).

I have redownloaded early morning EST and tried again to install, but to no avail.

Has anyone been able to install the resource pack?

D.E.P Closing iClone

duchess110 — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 14:48:28 GMT

About 6 or more times now DEP has closed iClone. So I thought ok go into

System advanced and have the system add it to be ignored.

No luck when its added and told to ignore a messgae tells me that it cannot be ignored and will not run if ignored. I am running Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit.

So what are the suggestions Windows states to check with software company for a dep compatible programme, or patch etc.

Eagerly await some help as its now starting to annoy.

Accessories not loading

shygirl — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 11:35:58 GMT

I've found that some of the accessories in the older packs I made won't load into version 3.1 or 3.2

In some instances a second try works and other times it doesn't. Also, the character deselects after each addition of an accessory, so you need to ensure character is selected, again, then click on accessories tab before attempting to load the next accessory......which sometimes still doesn't work.

Any help Reallusion can offer would be greatly appreciated as some of the older packs on our Store contain accessories which will not load.

FYI, accessories are made in both 3ds Max and iClone with the same results.

Realistic Beard & Moustache

motherreiver — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 10:41:03 GMT

I need to either buy, acquire, or get some ideas on how to create a realistic beard and moustache. I looked at the $30 pack that had abe lincoln in it - but I can't tell enough about the beard he is sporting from either the pic or the description - and I hate to spend about $30 for just one accessory that may or may not work (it wasn't in backstage to figure out) it may very well be too short. All the Santa Clause beards are to cartoony and the moustache goes in the wrong direction. I'll try and attach a pic of what I'm looking for here in this thread from an very old photo off of a tintype photo. Can anyone help or give ideas? I did create a face and textured on a beard in Photoshop - although that looks great - of course it makes for a too tidy of a beard too short and trim. I need the moustache and beard to extend FROM the face. I even tried modifying the tail from G3 props and it almost worked after retexturing and resizing - but even after trying to control it's motion (like none) - it would still do antics that were quite amuzing but not suitable for my character. Can anyone help me?

Here the pic:

I've been really excited to run iClone on my new Dell w/ the i7 920 intel quad processor with 8g of ddr3 ram and Vista 64 bit - but it just crashes every time you try to start it, even running as administrator!

iprops

jwastase — Thu, 25 Dec 2008 14:07:33 GMT

I need more help than appears in this forum so far on how to create an iprop like a simple chair and kitchen table so characters can sit and talk. I've tried importing models from Google warehouse but am unable to rotate the chair for instance. The rotate tool doesn't work with anything but models made within iclone. I know about using the "sit here" tags and what not. Help!

A couple of things needing a fix!

Mike Aparicio — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 18:22:10 GMT

When the user hides certain elements from the scene, almost any operation, like saving the project or many others, will bring back the hidden objects. This should be prevented and left to the User when to unhide desired items. The problem can be very anoying when you have many items you want to hide sometimes and unhide others.

Another little problem is when trying to hit the sliders on the right side menus. It takes a while to get to the up or down sliders, mainly in pixel mode or when there are a lot of elements in the scene.

I hope this will be fixed in any possible future update!

Mike

Where have all the shadows gone?

hieronymouscrowley — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 07:26:51 GMT

i'm pretty sure the answer is going to be that it's a limitation of the current software but i'll ask the question anyway:

if i load up a figure into a blank scene it casts a shadow onto the ground. if i then load up a terrain it casts a shadow onto the terrain. if i load up a stage/3d scene it casts a shadow onto that too

but if i load up a prop (such as a pavement or a floor), even if the prop has "receive shadow" checked - alas, no shadow on it

is that just the way it is, or am i missing something fundamental?

How to import 3D scenes etc. from iClone 2.1 to v. 3

Spring effects

diman2 — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 18:51:38 GMT

Iclone 3 I must say a great and fun piece of software but I'm confused on something. The bouncing body parts are great they add a sense of realism but I kind of lose that a bit without the flowing hair to go with it. When I read that spring effects could be added to hair I thought that meant all hair, now if its there please inform me of how to access it because I cannot seem to find it. I have been working on a dance vid and waited for 3.1 hoping I would have moving hair also but again I cannot find it, the one flex style hair is great but not all hair is created equal. It just looses something with hair that looks like it has a can of starch on it. Please do not take this as a complaint I am just hope to be more informed on this so I know how to proceed.

thanks

Graphics Card Recommendations?

biggstrek — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 13:11:04 GMT

Hi all,

I'm planning on upgrading my graphics card (currently I have "NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE Graphics with TurboCache with 128MB dedicated graphics memory").

I'll have about USD200 to spend (at BestBuy via some giftcards coming my way for Christmas!)

What would be a good choice that would make iClone hummmm?

Right now it's OK, but when I load up a scene with some big props, it gets awful sluggish.

Thanks in advance!

Not a Valid Project File

Peter Martin — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 15:02:13 GMT

Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem. It has only appeared after using Backstage, but in my last two projects after creating a project and saving it, i will try to reload it next time only to find that Iclone produces a error message saying that

'this is not a valid project file, loading of project file failed.'

It will then flash the first image of the file on screen and then revert back to a new project.

Any ideas as i can not use the program until i sort this out, for obvious reasons.
