Hi all and thx Peter

"Unfortunately the "Glare" issue should now be fixed in the 6.1 update which is scheduled towards the end of the second quarter."

In fact the question was: A do we discovered the cause of the problem?

"For the G6 characters we are currently looking at adding support for them in 3DXchange 6 at the end of the 2nd quarter, with additional tools coming in the 3rd quarter."

Still Face creation was available directly IC5.here is a special reason to be operated differently for IC6 ? And if I'm not mistaken, that was free in IC5 will become paying for IC6 because it will require 3DXC6?

1. Do you plan to repair the mega problems of v6 with Dazzies and every other highpoly content ? At moment v6 is much worse than v5 . Do you plan to change and patch this biggest problem at all ? I know that this is not easy, because I guess, that this is a problem of the reprogrammed "core". I hope that you fix that, because it has thrown back iClone back in time - nearly to its beginnings. And it is really paradox! On the one hand you try to give iClone suddenly a best quality graphics output with Indigo and on the other hand you make it suddenly really difficult to handle highpoly content. The problem: Without highpoly content, it is impossible to get best graphics output. Lowpoly content in Indigo only looks ugly!
2. You took away a bunch of v5 features, including the 2nd (better) facials. Do you plan to bring them back ? The 2nd facials at least ? Facials are very important, if you want to produce high quality animation clips. Facials are the biggest advantage of iClone against every other realtime animation software!
3. v6 has errors in really every part. The reprogramming of the core resulted nearly only in a bug desaster with (v5 needlessly totally changed) ugly interface. Often random and difficult to replicate. Don´t you think, it is time to think about a new old v5 core with a softcloth plugin? Any other feature of v6 doesn´t really matter!
What would be, if you sell again v5 and additional as plugin the softcloth and Indigo ? I think, a lot of people would buy that. Especially new customer. Older would take the plugins and would be able to work as well as before - but with new features while you got the time to reprogram v6 to a worthy successor of the best animator ever - v5. :D

Interesting option !
You don't want dynamic hair ?

Will it be called ICLONE Classic ?

@prabhatM
Oh, I meaned the "super soft cloth" of v6 - aka new physX dynamic cloth and hair. Is the only thing that is really new and worth to mention. At moment we got an unbelievable buggy v6 with v5 plugin, that has thrown iClone back into the child's shoes. So it would be logical, to take the old well working v5 and add v6 plugins. That would take away all major childhood diseases and we could work again with highpoly content. Btw.: v6 makes suddenly problems with mp4s. It can´t load it or doesn´t animate them (if you take the working material of v5). v5 takes them without any problems!

I agree Soft Cloth and Hair truly add values to ICLONE5.
This could be really an attraction for many people. They can work on their old systems. The Total Cost of Ownership will still remain low thus ensuring a happy state of mind for many.

And ICLONE 6 will get a breather for self-correction and self-healing.

Unfortunately not in 6.03. Should be fixed in the next update which is 6.1.

Well as it is planned to be fixed in 6.1 I'm guessing the cause of the problem is known. ;)

Unfortunately the plans are not finalized so I can't really reveal anything specific yet. Generally speaking the G6 characters will remain one piece like Daz characters, but we will add additional tools to allow customizing these characters and add custom faces. In addition there will be G6 CloneCloth for creating custom clothing.

What is the "mega problem" you mention? Daz characters work fine in iClone 6 as long as you have a system that meets the recommended specifications. Sure you can't put a dozens of them in your scenes but one or two should play nice. Please can you elaborate on this "mega problem" a bit more. Thanks.

Can you explain what you mean about the "2nd facials". I have no clue what this means. :ermm:

Again you mention mega problems, errors in every part, but don't really explain what the problems are. I guess we are both using the same software but I don't see all these mega problems that you are experiencing. You will need to explain in more detail so we can try and help you. Making bold claims without backing it up with detail doesn't help anyone.

We I am still having an

Error with edit weight map - no sliders for brightness or contrast.

I posted a link to my screen capture on page 16 of this thread.  Will this be fixed soon?  I can't get my DAZ figures to be able to use soft cloth if I can't get the weight maps to work on them.

All our efforts are dedicated to improving iClone 6 at the moment. There is zero chance of us going backwards to start making additional plugins for iClone 5.
