2017 Important Developer Updates

Dear Reallusion Developers,

We’d like to thank you for your long-time contributions in building up the Reallusion Marketplace to what it is today, and expanding the variety of content available for Reallusion users. We would like to bring you some important information regarding content sales and development.

[Content Sales] Reallusion Marketplace is a complete C2C platform. In addition to the current store management functions, we would like to clarify our promotional plans for users and help promote relevant content in Theme Sales to help our developers.
[Visual Quality] iClone 7 and CC 2 introduce an era of high quality visual standards along with larger images. As a result, we need to update our web design to better support ideal display quality for developer content. We believe that great visual quality is key to successful sales, therefore we’ve started the process of renewing the Content Store and Marketplace.
[Content Development] Providing good resources can help developers understand the creation pipeline efficiently and develop high quality content. We’ve launched a Developer Wiki to enhance the knowledge sharing speed and effectiveness.

The details are elaborated below. If you have further questions, feel free to leave a comment in the forum, or contact us at developer@reallusion.com.

Store Renew

We’d like to thank all of our valued developers for their help and cooperation in completing the content updates, a few of which you may have seen recently in the Content Store. Our team is working continually to implement the overall design and function updates that include a new front page, product portal page for the first run, along with the purchase page, product page, and thumbnails to enhance the layout and improve purchase experiences. For developers, the new product page allows for a nice wide banner, HD images, as well as links to YouTube and Sketchfab.

What’s next…

Content Uploader (June 21st): support for uploading ~~240*305 or~~ 512*650 images for content thumbnails, and uploading 1920*1080 for content page headers and preview images.
Click HERE to download the latest Content Uploader.
Marketplace Backend (End of June --> July 19th): aside from the larger images described above, developers can now add multiple Youtube and Sketchfab links.
Marketplace Frontend (End of June --> July 4th): the product page will be updated with the same layout as the Content Store’s.
Content Store (Sept 13th): Featured Developer's portal page and tag system
Marketplace Frontend (TBC): Look and feel of home and portal

Developer Wiki Build-up

Complete and accurate information of developer resources is important for content development. We found that the current resources can’t be updated as efficiently, so we decided to start up a Developer Wiki. We have started from CC, and the resources for other product lines will be updated soon.

We will open the collaborative writing and comments in near future, so that developers can share knowledge or report issues efficiently. Know More >>

To meet the content demands of a fast growing industry, beginning in 2017 Reallusion has allocated financial and marketing resources to assist talented 2D and 3D artists who are looking for an opportunity to start their own business. Know More >>

Warm Regards,

Reallusion Team
