Hi Gang...just a quick heads up. I opened up my iClone this morning and saw that there was an update to 5.3, so I installed it, only to have my G3 characters no longer accept most of the stock hair that came with my iClone. It said that the hair was not compatible with that version of character. I did a system restore to before the update and now all is back to normal.
Regards...Bruce

You are right. The G3 characters accept no G3 hair but G5 hair

Hi - thanks for posting this - I'll hold off on the update...

Question - What happens if you add a saved G5 avatar that has G3 hair on it?

excuse
But I have a modest question. We have waited a few weeks until the fix patch was released 5.31. Unfortunately, this fix patch is already fraught with error. Now we wait for the fix patch for the fix patch. There maybe sometime this year again the chance or hope to get a patch worthy of the name patch and clean and working properly. It would be nice.:hehe:;):crying:

I've added older generation hair (I don't know which generation, but pre-G5) to a G5 head without problems. Saved pre-G5 characters seem to work fine hairwise.

but you can't add old hair to G3 heads.

@peterblood
Most of users use g3 a lot, because they are well and g5 has no free clonecloth, which limits the possibilities to make custom clothing.

Freaky! First they destroy the most important facial emotion feature - and when they fix it, they destroy the most important g3 avatars.
What they will destroy next..?? :blink:

..Now we wait for the fix patch for the fix patch...
Patch of doom out of hell..?
"Error inside"...?

RLs "reputation" gets better and better and better with every and every and every patch. :w00t:

A humble question: Do you have beta testers..?

A humble suggestion: Patch ic back (!) to 5.1, when nearly all has worked and give the patch the name 5.4. Just that every content will work.
For sure, an added possibility to save conent in 5.3 f.e. as 4.0 (so ALL may run it) would be no error.

Don´t think that the patch of the fix, which is already a patch of patch will take a good end.
Just my humble opinion. ;)

Or didn´t I read anywhere of a whole new "engine" in ic6..?
A least regarding the light..?
Perhaps it could be time to accelerate the release of ic6.
Or it could be time to accelerate the exchange of some programers - what could solve a lot of problems or perhaps all your problems - as it looks like..... ;)

RL may need to automate its regression testing and traceability matrix. This is a whole project in itself - especially if the tools they use don't support these featuresand if they lack additional resources for this.

I think its their QA's weakness is that it is at least partially manual and too reliant on the skill of the programmers / testers.

The release process needs an objective relook. The best betatesters put the program through non-trivial  projects.. testing not just the new features but pretty much everything else. Perhaps a pre-release betatest competition would help?

Mitigative measures like crash recovery (autosave) should be considered so users dont lose *unsaved* portions of their work due to some unforeseen error.

As much some people here argue (erroneously!) that iclone is a "$200 app" (thus giving RL an excuse for sloppiness), many of us know better and have spent over $1,000 just to realize the "moviemaking machine" promise and theres more investment down the line.  

I know RL may not have resources of the autodesks etc... but nothing stops them from looking for creative solutions.. like getting IT guys (testers / project managers etc) from the iclone community and paying them with DA points and free upgrades instead of cash.

I for one would work part-time for RL in exchange for DA points, free upgrades and I think there are others here who would do the same. Deep down we all want RL to succed and to deliver the "movie making machine dream" - which is what hooked us to iclone from the early days. 

RL, if there's somewhere we can help, don't hesitate to engage us. Cheers!
