As the Indigo Renderer is a complete new world I wish that these tutorials will be set to prior. And after that all the other tutorials we need to become an iClone-Master

6Core AMD Phenom 2 X6, 8 GB Ram, ATI Radeon HD7870, Win8 64 Bit, iClone 6 + Indigo, iClone5.5, CrazyTalk Animator 2, Crazy Talk 7

Hello Visconti,

does this version already include the APIs (they were mentioned by RL several times) ?
It would be useful to have some tutorial about how to develop some add-on using the API interface.
I guess the development language is LUA, correct ?

Regards

Really don't agree with this request , The focus must be on Iclone 6 first.

I agree. There are a lot of new features in iClone 6 that will require tutorials.

One of my requests would be about the use of weight maps for soft cloth. It's a great feature and you can use it revive old content, but it requires a lot of experimentation.

Another is about displacement and tessellation and how to create your own maps, especially vector-based maps.

And, when making tutorials, don't rush through through the process, skipping steps...

No, Mister Wise Guy, the UI has been completely redesigned, so the navigation is different in many cases... I'm also speaking for the benefit of new users. I know how to navigate the new GUI.

Hello,

I have to admit to being totally bewildered, I don't know where to start. Have I lost all my previous animations from Iclone 5? I confess to feeling like the rawest newbie to animation, do I just start everything again in Iclone 6? I'm going to search tutorials, but I need really basic ones...

Best regards.

The more I learn, the more I realise, I know nothing!

Ken,

Just about anything that you have used and created in iClone 5 can be used in iClone 6. If you have purchased content packs from either the Content Store or Marketplace these can simply be reinstalled using the files that you downloaded. If you have a collection of custom assets that you have created in iClone 5 then these can be copied over to your iClone 6 Custom folders.

Whatever you do, do NOT delete either iClone 5 or the content folders when installing iClone 6. Both can be kept and used on the same PC.

If you need help, just ask.

Gerry

Hello Gerry,

Thanks for that, I realised that I still had Iclone 5 still and could use that anyway. However, I wish to become as competent with 6 as I am with 5, for that I need really basic tutorials...

Best regards.
Ken.
