Introduction.

Hi All,

After CC 1.5 release I am finally able to create content for latest iClone version :)
So I decided to start new "PRCC" series which will includes photo-realistic content for Character Creator.

The packs from this series will have "mixed" construction -- they will includes two types of models - "Base" and so called "Finished" or "Ready to use".

"Base" models will be some sort of templates for texturring using powerful features of Character Creator Appearance Editor and parametric materials packs which You can find in Content Store and/or Marketplace.

"Finished" models will have hand-made photo-realistic textures and these models materials will be not oriented (!) on modification using CC Appearance Editor.

So such pack construction will give You two possibilities:
- create Your custom materials for "Base" models using Appearance Editor;
- use "Finished" models with my photo-realistic textures.

Before starting my first PRCC pack presentation I'd like to remind the links to the topics about my previously created content:
PR5 Products Line
GR5 Characters
Maybe it will be interesting for You to take a look ;)

So let's begin ... :)

PRCC Short Hair pack

I'd like to introduce first content from PRCC series --  
PRCC Short Hair pack

This pack can be found in Bigboss Treasures Store.

If You familiar with my previous products I can see that models from this pack looks rather close to my Short hair models created for PR5 characters.
For beginning I decided to re-create for CC some models I made for PR5, so You can expect more such "replica" packs.
But, of course, models in new packs will just looks like PR5 models -- they will have new (CC oriented) topology, modified textures etc.
And this is true for hair models in this pack. ;)

Pack description:

This pack includes short hair models for Male and Female Character Creator.
Hairs for male and female have slightly different shapes and can be recognized by prefixes:
PRCCM - shape for male characters;
PRCCF - shape for female characters.
Each shape represented by 7 models -- "Base" model and 6 "Finished" (ready to use) models.
Base models have solid white Diffuse map and can be useful for creating hairs with custom Diffuse textures.
"Finished" models already have different hair color textures.
Both "Base" and "Finished" models visualization can be tuned in Character Creator Appearance Editor.

And some demo pictures:







Note: Male hair models have the same colors as female.

Hope You will find this product useful :)
More content from PRCC series is on the way ;)

Cheers,

PRCC Male Casual Cloth.

Hi All,
I'd like to introduce my first cloth pack for Character Creator -
PRCC Male Casual Cloth.

This pack can be found in Bigboss Treasures Store.

Cloth fashions in this pack are some sort of "re-make" of fashions I previously created for my PR5 models, but they just look like them, in fact there are different models which have different meshes, texture layouts etc.

Pack Description.

NOTES: Cloth models in this pack have been created for CC Male character and it's not recommended to use it with female. All models good fit to each other, but combinations with some cloth models from other packs on the market could look unnatural because of style differences.

Base models oriented on use as templates in CC Appearance Editor -- they have all main textures (Normal, AO, WS Normal, RGB Mask) and empty Fabric definition (You can define fabrics and effects as You like).
Ready-To-Use models have hand-made photo-realistic textures (not dynamic) and You are not able to modify them in CC, but You can tune cloth colors directly in iClone using ColorTune tool and RGB Masks (the same as in CC Base models) included in this pack.
Most textures have 2K resolution.
What in Pack:
53 Cloth models:
- Upper -- 5 Bases, 20 Ready-To-Use;
- Lower -- 5 Bases, 15 Ready-To-Use;
- Shoes -- 2 Bases, 6 Ready-To-Use.

And of course some demo images:

Hi All,
In previous post I mentioned that PRCC Male Casual Cloth pack includes substance-based tools (v3dColorTune.sbsar and v3dColorTuneAdv.sbsar) for iClone.
These tools allow to tune material Diffuse map by regions defined by RGB Mask. Documentation for tools included in the PRCCM_CL1_Docs.zip and You can download and read it if You wish. It rather detailed, but here I decided to show demo pictures for these tools.

ColorTune UI in iClone.

Hope You will find these tools useful :)

Hi All,

In description to PRCC cloth pack I mentioned that -
"... combinations with some cloth models from other packs on the market could look unnatural because of style differences."
I got question what this really mean and whether it's possible to combine cloth from PRCC pack with cloth from other packs or not.
I apologize if my note have been not clear and decided to explain.

Technically cloth from my pack can be combined with most of cloth on market and my note just mean that some combinations will look fine, but some of them could look a bit strange.
I tested my models with  cloth from "Essential" cloth pack and here some examples of combinations which by my opinion look good.

Lower from my pack with first layer Upper from Essential pack -

Lower + Upper from my pack with second layer Upper from Essential pack -

Shoes from my pack with some Lower from Essential pack -

But should say again -- Not ALL combinations will look "natural" as combinations on pictures above.
If You will have questions, do not hesitate to ask.

Cheers,

By hiding the base cloth color(and a couple others) in the material editor, I was able to "extract" the vest from the shirt-vest combo model and use it with different shirts. I appreciate the nicely done maps! :)

Hi rampa,
Wow! I even did not think about such combination. Good idea!
I'm glad that You like my models, many thanks! :)
