My list is simple.. BONES BONES BONES!!!!

I want 3dXchange to be integrated within iClone itself with full rigging capabilities.



======================================================

pipeline should have a rigging system for 4 -legged animals so many great animal characters out there
should be able to bring them into pipeline and export into iclone to use with iclone animal character motions not rigged as a human as it currently stands

Lights and weather li9ke lumion 4.5? Is posible? Create exterior lights and real weather and water, day, night... sun, moon... Will be great!

Sorry for my english badly

This may seem minor, and that's probably because it is.  But it's been driving me crazy the last couple of weeks...

• Please do NOT ask me about saving the project if nothing has changed!
• And when you do ask, have it Pre-Fill the filename with the current project name.

I am constantly bouncing back and forth between different projects.  Sometimes they are difference scenes, and sometimes different portions of the same scene, so my filenames are somewhat similar.

I do "Save As" on a regular basis, but I don't want to do a Save As every time I open a different file.

For example, if I open a project and render out a screen shot, and then open another project, it asks me if I want to save the project.

When it asks me if I want to save changes, I'm worried that I'll make one of these two mistakes:

• I'll not save, and end up discarding some of my great work
• So so ask when I've made changes
• But don't bother me when I haven't actually changed the project
• Accidentally overwrite the wrong file
• So have the current file name already filled when doing the "Save" process
• That way I won't overwrite the wrong project

I already admitted it's not the biggest issue in the world, but when I'm tired I get worried about making simple errors.

Here is an example of my filenaming.  Very logical, but by design there is a lot of similarity in the filenames.  All the revisions are where I do a "Save As" so I have working backups.

• Project 8 - Scene 2 - Rev a.iProject
• Project 8 - Scene 2 - Rev b.iProject
• Project 8 - Scene 2 - Rev c.iProject
• Project 8 - Scene 3a - Rev a.iProject
• Project 8 - Scene 3a - Rev b.iProject
• Project 8 - Scene 3b - Rev a.iProject
• Project 8 - Scene 3b - Rev b.iProject
• Project 8 - Scene 3c - Rev a.iProject
• Project 8 - Scene 3c - Rev b.iProject
• Project 8 - Scene 3c - Rev c.iProject
• Project 8 - Scene 3c - Rev d.iProject
• Project 8 - Scene 4 - Rev a.iProject
• Project 8 - Scene 4 - Rev b.iProject

I'd rather not feel compelled to do a Save As everytime.  My disk drive would be filled by next week.

Too much typing for such a simple topic?  Gee, I haven't even finished my second cup of coffee yet.

agreed, or give us a panel that allows us to customize iclone behavior.

I can appreciate that some of the workflow was created for new users, but some of these features can become redundant after you gain experience. So you can make templates for various users, while allowing custom settings for more experienced users.

"To define Tao is to defile it" - Lao Tzu

This is not minor and I agree completely. This needs to be changed.

An optional 'quick costume' designer (built in or plug in) to the current clonecloth method would be a blessing for me.

Whilst I have played around with clonecloth in PS, being predominently a movie maker, I find the whole process extremely time consuming and drawn out...and with not having a great head for fashion design, my end results are usually disasters.

A system where costumes/clothing could be quickly and easily designed whilst on an iclone character or 'model' (i.e. without leaving Iclone and having to work in PS or other graphics apps 'blindly') would be ideal...it could incorporate settings for G3, G4 and G5 characters and have the usual options for textures, style, colour etc.

A 'magnetic' selection tool (similar to those used in PS) could be used for more basic cutting and shaping purposes.

It obviously wouldn't have the same creative freedom as the clonecloth approach and the results may be a bit more basic or 'everyday', but as with clonecloth, themed template packs could be an answer for variety purposes.

Perhaps, even new male and female 'quick costume' specific characters could be developed?

I think this could also prove a time/production effective tool for the previz market.

I'm pretty naive in this area and I've no idea if any of this is feasible or even if anybody has similar thoughts/feelings about this, but it's the one thing that's really bugged me for a while.

wind!

perhaps that could be made like a plug in where you can control speed, force, radius, and direction!

with all the spring effects, and the upcoming cloth physics - seems like a must have to get that hair blowing in the wind look!
