Yay!

Not a lot in the list that directly pertains to what I've been doing, but I still want to take a moment to say "THANK YOU" to the hardworking Reallusion team.

Seems as if a lot of time and energy has been invested to turn iClone into a pretty picture making app, as opposed to an animation tool.

Hi Peter,

I am a bit confused about the Indigo preset.

You mentioned about "Indigo Preset 2.0"... but when I go in my account to "Registration, Patch and Bonus" -> "iClone Render Plug-in for Indigo" -> "Patch/Bonus", I see:

Currently release version: v1.03.1622
Size: 31.6 MB (2015/04/29 Update)

The date semmes correct but the versoin is old: I would have expected a v.2.0.
Is this just a "typo" ?
Should we install this plug-in ?
What is the right installation order (if any) ? iClone patch first, Indigo plug-in later ?

Thanks for the clarifications
Cheers

Roberto

I see I'm not the only one surprised at the apparent focus of this patch.

I, too, thought it was heavily biased toward the Indigo plug-in, which, while nice, seems more like a fringe rather than a core portion of iClone.

Any patch is always appreciated, but it does make a person question the priorities.

Hi Roberto,

The Indigo plugin version available for download is the correct one, it looks like RL are trying to keep the last two version digits the same between iClone and the plugin - in this case .03.

The plugin will not install if an earlier version is present on your system, you need to first uninstall the older version. Also note that you will need to go through the whole serial nr. entering thing again when you install.

I don't think that the installation order has been changed, first the iClone patch and then the plugin.

Would someone please remind me how I uninstall the earlier version of the Indigo plugin? Thanks!

Go into "Control Panel > Uninstall A Program" and you will find it listed. Just choose the Uninstall option from there.

The iClone 6.03 update should also have updated your Indigo Plugin to the latest build which remains 1.03. If you run into any problems you can always uninstall the Plugin and then install the latest version from your account.

If you wish to know a bit more about Indigo Presets 2.0, please see the link below.

Thanks Peter.
I appreciate the prompt answer.
So, from your answer it seems that I do NOT have to install the Indigo plug-in available in my account.
But what about Gerry's answer ?
"The Indigo plugin version available for download is the correct one, it looks like RL are trying to keep the last two version digits the same between iClone and the plugin - in this case .03"

At least to me, Gerry' statement sounds different from your one, Peter.

On my system now I have the Plug-in 1.03, and the iClone Exporter to Indigo 3.8.17.
Note: the Indigo plug-in version shown in iClone completely misses the digits after the 1.03 version, which vice verse are shown in the account (1.03.1622)
Really a bit confusing, Peter.
Some clarification is welcomed

Regards

Roberto
