Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,
Cosmicjoe here, totally new to the world of Reallusion. I've been an end user of Daz, Lightwave, Vue and a few others for sometime now. Been looking at iClone much of recent to add to my creative pipeline. One issue is that I'm a dinasour in terms of my os (win xp pro), though I will be doing some major upgrades in both software and hardware by this time next year. But for now I would very much like to delve into iClone and 3dExchange in unison with my Daz characters.
I believe I'm correct in seeing that iClone 5 and 3dExchange 5 will both work with xp 64 bit os. What about the 5.5v of both? And can anyone quote me a current general price range for both as the Reallusion site understandably places most of its focus on iC6 now.
Thanks in advance for any feedback,
cosmicjoe
Welcome to the Forum
iC5.5 & 3DXchange 5.5 are the last Versions (Updates) of iC5. I have both, that functioned on XP32Bit Home & now W764Bit Home Premium. Both are no longer for sale by Reallusion. However there might be new 5.5 copies for sale on eg; Amazon, for a knocked-down price. .
W8 & 10 are a disaster. W7 is supported until 2020.
IC6 has an awful black User Interface with awful workflow & requires a High-end GPU. A completely different Program & no good for iC beginners, IMO. You're better off with iC5.5 that has a number of User-made Tutorials, for iClone beginners. Reallusion 5.5 User Manuals & Video Tutorials might no longer be available. I have them all downloaded to my PC.
iC great Program, but pretty awful Reallusion documentation, Video Tuts & support.
Anyone-else?
