I posted this a few days ago in Crazytalk Technical Issues but think it equally applies here
Been trying to create faces using crazytalk pipeline to export to iClone 6 thru character creator. Seems to create a face with all the features I defined thru Crazy talk but loses the specifics somewhere in the translation. Not really satisfied
I bought CT8 pipeline specifically for the Face creation and export capability and I would not have bought it if I knew what i know now. I do find the CT8 face creation tool quite amazing but the one thing it really lacks is the ability to use off center facial views like the iC5 face creator/editor. I probably would not have minded paying the extra, if it had actually worked. The real annoy part is RL payed someone to right the CT8 to RL head translator and they failed. I;m sure they could of had someone write a iFace to RL Head at the same time for not much more.
Since the exports do seem to have similar features, I plan on trying to morph the CT8 heads in iC6 but I find iC6 interface is pretty lacking compared the editor for IC5 faces. Unfortunately that will add a lot more work to doing faces and I suspect I wont get the quality. Alternately I have also thought of just generating a whole mess of very diverse faces sorta like 100 faces pack but my thing is trying to recreate faces and that just doesn't sound fun to me.
If anyone knows if RL is working on fixing the translator I would greatly appreciate it.
