Thank you for this post!  I have personally experience most of these problems.

The lip-syncing experience I had seemed to have nothing to do with the tutorial, and I had to do it all by hand.  Which I could live with, except that there is no audio scrubbing! :-(

I would like to second the request for AUDIO scrubbing!

Yes... AGAIN: TO AUDIO SCRUBBING!!!

The auto lip sync in iC6, IS improved over 5.  But fine tuning IS ESSENTIAL - and it's very very very challenging to get it right without AUDIO SCRUBBING.  

This is a hardware problem.  Get a bigger GPU, preferrably one with at least 8GB of RAM, like the  SAPPHIRE R9 300 SERIES (made for AMD).  The more you can afford, the better.  

Even so, you can expect to get bogged down in HIGH visual mode (ic6), with all your visual settings turned on.    Best to do all your animation in a lower visual mode, then switch to high mode to do final checks before you render.

YES! I've had to deal with this in doing the latest episodes of Evocronik.

I've experienced this as well.

Peter, I don' know if you saw this in the original thread, but I had an issue recently with DOF and a camera moving on a track:

I know this has been talked about on the 6.1 issues thread, but I've just purchased and installed the Indigo plug-in and have the mysterious "no PlugIn menu" problem. I've tried uninstalling it all, then installing iClone 6.2 - updating to latest, ensuring it isn't running, rebooting, and everything prior to installing the iClone Indigo Render plug-in (v1.2), and finally Indigo RT (for iClone) - it appears to install fine, the DLL is visible in the Plugins folder under iClone's Bin64 folder - and everything seems fine EXCEPT that there is no "PlugIn" menu in iClone. Any ideas what could be causing this? In particular, is there any start-up log which iClone produces which might give me a clue?

For reference, it's Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit / 16Gb memory, DirectX 11, GeForce GTX 750Ti card (4Gb) - and I also have CrazyTalk 7.1 and Crazy Talk Animator 2 installed on the same computer. Dxdiag checks out without error.

Any help greatly appreciated - I'm sure it's something really simple I'm missing!

The last IC6P update has caused any sphere object to deform to an egg shape when moved off center. Did not do that before the update. AND yes, the particles do not appear in the scene manager either.

Ahhhhh yes I had that problem too and I put in a support ticket and they got it fixed.. Try that, they will help you  fix it quickly.

Hi Peter,

I'm just getting around to trying iClone 6 now after buying it last year. I installed all the latest updates for iClone and for Character Creator. Unfortunately, right out of the gate, both programs are crashing regularly. Even more-so than iClone 5.x did. I've been playing with each for a little over an hour now, and both have crashed about 3 times apiece. Wish I could say I see a pattern to the crashes, but I don't yet. If that changes, I'll let you know.

I did re-boot after the initial crashes.

Figured I'd just pipe in. Got my system specs in my signature in case anything stands out for you (or anybody else reading this!). If you need me to add any info, please let me know.

Any initial thoughts? 

UPDATE -- After I typed the above, I realized I was still in a two monitor setup (though the 2nd monitor was off at the moment). I disabled the 2nd monitor in my graphics card, and then played around for another solid hour or more with NO crashes. So, the 2-monitor setup is the issue. For now, I'm happy to be working (uninterrupted) in the new iClone. I'm not even sure if iClone6 supports two monitors. Haven't checked that yet. I do remember asking about it in iClone5 and seem to remember it was not then supported. But it's been awhile. Even that memory's hazy . . .

Would still like to hear your thoughts.

Thank you,
Bud
