Hi all.

This is obviously a massive advance on Iclone 2.5 - so, will there be a need to upgrade my hardware?

Currently have 1.5 GB Ram and a 2.7 GHz CPU - But I have no idea what graphics card I have!  On other threads, I have been discussing the limitations of some of my scenes, and I think, after advice and comments from other users, that the graphics card is the weak link!  If I need to upgrade, I am thinking it may be better value to go for a complete change than just "bits" so your advice on the hardware requirements for I-Clone 3 would be greatly appreciated (even if it is just a guestimate as work is still in progress.)

Thanks.

Richard.

I am considering purchasing "Power Bundle Pack II Pro".The new upgrade looks terrific. If I make my purchase now, will I be eligible for a free upgrade to the new version?

Hi,

As the release of iClone 3.0 is still a few months away I doubt a free upgrade will be made available at this time. As with Crazytalk 5 an official announcement regarding free upgrade offers will probably be made nearer the release date.

If you do purchase now though you will no doubt be offered an attractive upgrade discount once iClone 3.0 is released.

I guess i should put off my purchase until the new release. A march release date as mentioned in your promo on this thread, is only a couple months away. I don't want to invest that much money then get hit a month or 2 later with at least another $100.00 upgrade fee, considering most software companies give upgrades for at least 6 months for prior purchases.

Hi lululee,

I fully understand your decision but there are a couple of things worth mentioning at this point.

The March 2008 release date that was mentioned was the provisional timeframe for release but as with all software development this date could get pushed back by a month or more. There hasn't been an updated official release date made but it is something worth thinking about.

Also while having to pay for an upgrade so soon after purchasing a product is never nice it can be countered by special offers at release time. For instance when iClone 2.0 was released, those who were upgrading from iClone 1.x got the Working Fashion Pack completely free. This pack had a value of $129.95 which was more than the upgrade price itself. Those that purchased for the first time did not get the pack nor did those who received a free upgrade.

Whatever you decide to do I'm sure you will have a lot of fun with iClone when you get it.

Hi Peter,
You are just too good at persuasion. I do understand your logic.
I have watched the development of iClone. You are really achieving an incredible degree of quality with it in a very short time. hats off to you and your entire team of developers.
I am interested in iClone as a music video producer/director. I think it would be an effective addition to create music videos for the web. I work with a lot of Indie bands.
Of course, we all know, purchasing new software is not just about the financial investment. There is also that monster called the 'learning curve' that looms ahead after the purchase. It appears to me that the iClone learning curve to get up and running would not be too overwhelming.
How long will the 'special sale' of the "Power Bundle Pack II Pro" last?
