I late on this, but I gave up trying to make the conversion of vns files back in January.

Someone mentioned Reallusion had made a conversion of all the content with vns files and they are now starndard downloads.
I have a lot of content files. Is there a listing of these converted files. 
This way I hope to just go down the list and replace those files.

Since it's bound to be a new program to everyone, I should provide some tips for this procedure.
First I recommend that you simply copy over the .vns files to the proper iClone props folder using whatever process you normally use. No thinking involved there and you maintain the original files in VNS format somewhere else.

Then practice with one file in ScanDir. Open it up and navigate to that file. Right click when file selected and choose Rename. A new panel with 5 sections opens up. Ignore all but #5 for Extensions which lets you choose Replace. Click that, put in iProp (no dot) and select Remember Parameters.

Clicking Okay brings up all kinds of confirmation warnings but go ahead and you are done the test one. Then go back and select all the remaining files and do the same in bulk. I've yet to try entire folders because I like to see what's happening and don't want to change the wrong extensions for characters or textures by mistake. Pretty quick regardless.

Since I do hope the Extension Changer method might make life easier, I should also note that I've seen a variation in file size when I use 3DX to convert older props one by one. I'm not sure why this is occurring. It could be that the 3DX default texture resolution of 1024 differs from original.

But, even at 2048, when I look at the same door for example, I think the conversion is blurrier than just swapping out the extension in a test I did, even though the polygon count remains constant.

So, I now have to think that unless the 3DX process is providing some benefit I'm not seeing, or Reallusion advises against it, I'll go for the extension change.

What I recommend for the process though is a different program called ScanDir from skybird.net which is free, has no adware, and which I trust 100%.

Still don't work !
Does any one at RL care ?
Does any one from RL check the forum ?

Thanks,
I did it a couple of time after canceling and then checked and it seems like the content is already verified. Strange that the progress bar remained at 0% and said to wait. Now onto the VNS files...;)

If your copied content is not marked as "Trial" - top left corner of asset icon in Content viewer - then there is no need to have it verified.  The time required depends on your Internet connection speed and the number of items to be verified.

Does the iClone 6 "Content 1-Click Verification" take a long while to complete? My dialogue box has been saying "Please wait..." for a long time and remains at 0% so I am unsure if it is doing anything or not. I used SyncBack Pro and copied all my files from iClone 5 to iClone 6 per the instructions and that took about 4 minutes total for the regular and custom template folders. The verification must be the infamous "bottleneck" we know and love so well. :P
Thanks,

I'm not sure if it'll work for everyone, but I found a faster workaround that has worked well for me. There are also some other issues I've found with iClone6, which I've found the workarounds as well, so here goes nothing.

Instead of going through each file that need file extension changes, what I've done is to batch change entire folders.

You'll want to download this 'Extension Changer' first. When prompted to install, make sure you choose "Custom" and deselect "Change homepage to Yahoo" and such, which will affect your browser. You'll also be prompted to install some program, make sure to decline that as well, as most of these software are junks at best.

After installing the 'Extension Changer' program, double click and open the program. Then navigate to the folder of the content that needs the extension changed. If the contents are props, then type "iProp" (without quotes) in the "Change To" section of the program. Select all the files that need changed and drag them to the tiny square right next to where it says "File Name" "File Type". Give it a second or two and it's done.





There are couple of things that you'll find inconvenient about the Extension Changer. One, it doesn't recognize multiple folders well. So you can drag several folders if you want, but you'll find that some folders had not been modified. I like to be sure, so what I've done is to go into each folder that needs changing, "Select All" and make sure each and every folder got modified. Two, you'll have to start the program each and every time it finishes a batch. But in the end, they're only minor inconvenience.


Other Problems I've found with iClone6:
1 - Default iProp 'Jeep' isn't included with it. You'll have to copy and paste from iClone5 content folder to your iClone6 iProp folder. You can find 'Jeep.iProp' in the Drive:\Reallusion\Template\iClone 5 Template\iClone Template\Props folder of iClone5.

2 - Home, Stage, Outdoor folders are missing in iClone6. Once again, copy and paste from your iClone5 folder. The folders are located in the Drive:\Reallusion\Template\iClone 5 Template\iClone Template\Props\iProps folder.

3 - If you've purchased the content packs 'Evil Force - Volcano of Doom', 'Famous Movie Scenes - Times Square', 'Films and Props Vol.1', you'll notice that they are not found in the 3D Scene section of your iClone6. To fix this, you'll need to navigate to your content folder (Ex. - Drive:\Reallusion 6\Template\iClone 6 Template\iClone Template\3D Scene), then change the extension from vns to iScene.


I've done some other things to make iClone6 behave normally, but this is all I can remember from the top of my head. Hopefully this might be helpful to some people. That's it folks, happy new year!
