My guess is 7 and all it's new features are already being tested and perfected. Might wanna change post to IC 8 wishlist

Hi there,

I think PBR is tested and working already, but they are holding it back for the moment, as they are releasing first Crazy talk animator. I am quite sure, that release will not be ealier than End of September Oktober timeframe. The release for Iclone maybe then before x-mas. I just checked and saw that version 6 will have it's second aniversary around that time.




Machines :
MSI Gaming Laptop, I7, GTX 1080, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, 1 TB HD
Acer Predator Helios 300 I7 10750H, 16GB, 1TB SSD, RTX 2070

Maybe a dumb suggestion, I dunno, but a way to paint to the opacity map from iClone to hide poke-throughs. I'm not asking or expecting a full paint program, but something that could at least do this masking would be great. Same with displacement and weight maps, it would just be so more organic.

My system: i7 3770 Gtx1060 6GB

Don't know. With IC6 they probably didn't plan on adding CC. But during the IC6 cycle they probably thought it would be a cool feature so they created it.
There's still a lot of time for IC7 to develop if we're on a 2-3 year cycle. This wishlist is more of what could still be added to IC7.

I'd like to see IC7 with mocap ability to track fingers. I tech American Sign Language (ASL) and this feature would be huge help.

File features: recent files list, numeric incremented save.
Edit prop in 3DX, apply to iClone option.
Custom 3DX face puppet option as Face Keys.
Motion layer to keyframes or reverse of Collect Keys.
Retime selected keys, match selected keys with motion duration stretching.  
Shape emitter.
Bone to bone collision detection/avoidance.
Bone angle relative morphing. eg: Bend elbow = muscle bulge.
Onion skin with option to just view the skeletons to keep processing lightweight.
Simple automatic crowds.
Freehand drawn path.
Mute all button in timeline panel.
Sliding timeline markers with go to next/previous marker buttons on timeline.
Masking planes, shape hides only a selected prop or avatar that comes between the camera and the prop but nothing else.
Shape or color coded to identify transition curves type keyframes.
Hide or floating window message panel option.
Textures at 100% Strength as the default value.
Force zero on X and Y hip coordinates at all frames option when saving motion.
Remove from object: material keys, constraints keys, button.
Start simulation, physics, spring bones, particle emit, etc. have a start frame prior to start rendering frame.
Animatable bone stretching for spine or cartoon exaggeration.

Love your list.

Re "Bone Stretching"...  I thought bone stretching came with iClone 5.5.  I remember a Reallusion marketing animation of a cat jumping, and they stretched the cat during the jump.  Anyone else remember that video?  Maybe it was specially rigged to enable that, and doesn't apply to avatars.


iClone 7... or 6.6???...  Curve editor so it would be vastly easier to make smooth, natural-looking animations without all the "jerk motions" at the keyframes.

iClone 7... Character Creator... Substance Designer/Painter... Blender... Audacity...
Desktop (homebuilt) - Windows 10, Ryzen 9 3900x CPU, GTX 1080 GPU (8GB), 32GB RAM, Asus X570 Pro motherboard, 2TB SSD, terabytes of disk space, dual  monitors.
Laptop - Windows 10, MSI GS63VR STEALTH-252, 16GB RAM, GTX 1060 (6GB), 256GB SSD and 1TB HDD

Bone stretching is currently only for skeletal props. The cat is a prop.

Just facial animation via facial captures ...

Actually, they did. Mason and Heidi were always considered transitional characters (hence Beta in the bone names) with very few customization options. It's just that CC took additional time (intended or not) and they didn't want to postpone the release of IC6 further.
