Exiting, Character Creator 2 is here!
I have started it and gotten an error message:


After pressing Retry all has worked ok.

First I have loaded a CC 1.5 Project. 


I have converted to PBR Outfit, how described here: https://forum.reallusion.com/309181/6-Convert-Characters-from-Classic-to-PBR

Have added a texture for the metallic channel and played a bit arround with the textures and the atmosphere:


The export as iClone7 has worked, the export as iClone 6.5 has brought an error:


So it was a good start for today with much more possibilities. Thanks Reallusion.

Today I have tried the Mesh Modifier.

I have 2 feathers at my hat. Now I have selected a part of one feather.



If I change this part, also the second feather is changed.



Also I have had a crash of the Character Creator during the work with the mesh modifier. But can't reproduce until now.

Have a nice day

Now I have experimented a bit with the skin.
This is my original 1.5 Character.



Now I have changed from classic to PBR in the texture tab.


This has not changed so much, so I have changed the metallic texture and the atmosphere.


Here I have dropped an atmosphere from iClone in my scene of the character creator.


Finally I have switched back in classic mode and this was odd - the moving effect was with classic greater than with PBR.
No clue, if this is right, or if here some flags are switched in a false way.


Have a nice time

Today I have made some tests with the Appearance editor.
This is the original character:


Now in PBR:

With a iClone atmosphere:


Now I go in appearance editor, where  I get a message:


If I clear the unused channels, I get this result: All dos look a bit odd. I don't know, what this function dos clear or remove.



If I keep the unused channels, all is ok also after the changes in the editor.


Have a nice day

I think your "Clear/Keep" issue is related to something I found.... something I thought I submitted to FeedBack Tracker, but I don't see it there (yet), so maybe I only put it in a forum post.

I think you mean this http://www.reallusion.com/FeedBackTracker/Issue/Unexpected-results-when-loading-the-Appearence-Editor-for-PBR-materials. I have voted there already. 

And here my first attachment with CharacterCreator2.




Happy New Year to you all.
Tesira

P.s. upps wires, justawiking you beat me by 8 min :)

Today I have played with the Visuals. I have loaded a new picture and changed the parameters a bit.
Until now I don't understand, how we can use it. Is it for adjusting the avatar?
Will something of this saved with the avatar?



Have a good start in 2017
