| WidgetMe seems to be working online now.
http://widgetme.reallusion.com/
Watched the 4 WidgetMe tutorial Videos and downloaded the beta software.
Very interesting program to further expand the uses for Iclone and Crazy talk.
It says the beta will last until Jan 2009. At present it is hosting a mini widget I just made for free using my premium member login.
Wonder If an allocation of some level of free hosting will remain when the full version arrives? |

| Peter, will the vertex and pixel shader options be reintroduced in the 3.1 upgrade.
My video card (ATI HD 2300) currently has the capabilities to display all of the new visual features except object and water reflections and refractions, I was able to however display DOF, normal maps, live plants ect.
With 3.03 upgrade all of these features are non existent, my video card can't be upgraded either.
I want to enjoy as much of the new carnation of iClone as possible and most of the newly added visual features were a big selling point for me, but now it just feels like an iClone 2.9 upgrade program.

I don't believe the way the Shader options are made available has changed much in this latest upgrade but only installing it will give you a conclusive result. The changes in iClone 3.03 were made so that only the Shader options fully supported by your card are listed. This was made to protect systems from unexpected crashes and graphical glitches. While certain features may have worked previously, the stability of the program could have been badly affected when used on a system that didn't offer 100% support. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that the iClone 3.1 upgrade will improve this situation for you. Not long before you can try it out now.

| December sounds good for me. 
I am glad iclone 3.03 works fine on my computer (no crashes until now ). I had just one curiosity but don't know how to explain it properly. Maybe I should make a screenshot and post it in the bugs section. |

| Hi Pete,
My graphics card supports maybe about 70% of the new graphics features of IC3 with minor stability glitches.
For the most part it just wouldn't display refractions and reflections, but DOF and live plants worked just fine, normal maps displayed when the project file wasn't too large, water displayed with out reflect and refract, but none the less it displayed, but with the 3.03 patch I no longer have access to any of these features which takes way from the whole IC3 experience.
I'd rather have 70% of the vertex and pixel shader features than to have none at all.
To remedy this I would suggest a check list in the preference menu that lets you select which features in the vertex pixel shader you want to display or undisplay.
The list is as follows:
Bump/Normal Map
Specular Map
Glow Map
Reflection Map
Reflection Effect
Refraction
Tree
Grass
Water
Animated Texture
Pixel Lighting
Self-cast Shadow
DOF
