If not, that might be a nice addition. However a thought along these lines as I have 3DXchange pipeline, if I exported a finished CC character out to Blender, lowered the poly count and imported back in, is this possible and could this be a possible solution to group characters? Thank you! character creator poly count

You could export the character and reduce the polys, but it would no longer be a standard iClone character. You would have to re-rig it probably and then import back as a non-standard character. For crowds, where details are often less important, you could use low-poly characters, which are available in the MarketPlace. EDIT: I try to get rid of the light-blue background, but I can't...:unsure: 76% of original size (was 661x19) - Click to enlarge

That would be really handy. iClone 7... Character Creator... Substance Designer/Painter... Blender... Audacity...
