Wow - 'Cousin It' on steroids! Pretty damn cool!  ~V~

Actually, all I want tomorrow (say, evening) is for iClone to continue to work as well as it does (meaning if 7.2 IS released it doesn't screw anything major up).  I don't care if we have to wait another month to get PopcornFX, as long as the core program is solid.

Lol, I hope we see it tomorrow, but what I hope I don't see tomorrow is more wannabe experts predicting release schedules, pricing, the weather, my horoscope, and the end of the world.

Thank you very much Peter for your indulgence of your implication on this thread.
Really not my intention because some things are out of my control.... ;)

This feature was my first wish since I bought Iclone . After that all will be icing on the cake for me :)

Because I am well aware of the reaction if dates are not met, I like to give estimates rather than definite dates because last minute hitches can and do happen.

So best case scenario will still be this week and worse case scenario could see a push back of a week or so if a serious last minute issue is found (it hasn't yet so fingers crossed all is well). ;)

I'll withhold my well-held smarmy retorts about Reallusion until tomorrow. Biting my proverbial keyboard-lip! lol Thanks friends!  ~V~

In addition to Peter(RL) bearing the brunt of having to deliver bad news, this forum community has been divided on how they treat Reallusion with respect to release dates.

We see these two responses:
a) I'd rather they release a good product next month than a broken one this month, so a delay is fine.  Just keep us posted, please.
b) Six months ago they said they planned to release it in November, and now it's December.  Crucify them!

"Plans and intentions" are not the same as contractual obligations.
Since Reallusion has suffereed from "b" above, a bit too often, I understand them being very shy about sharing estimated dates here.
But when they do, they should be clear in their communication (what is and is not included, and what is their confidence level in meeting the date).

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

Right -- except in this case the implication is clear ("PopcornFX needs 7.2"  "PopcornFX will be released 12-21").  That's what's known as deductive reasoning (if the premises are true, then the deduction MUST be true).

In this case the deduction (of 7.2 being released tomorrow) MUST be true, or one of the premises is not true.  Given that Peter must have known about those premises (since WE knew about them) the other deduction is one of two things:

Peter is not truthful (or not COMPLETELY forthcoming with the truth)
Peter does not know the truth.

Ipso facto.

There has never been any release date posted for any iClone updates. Due to the complexities involved the best that has ever been posted has been something like "We hope to release the update in the next few weeks"

Hmmm -- it's a conundrum, to be sure.  Peter said not more than a day or two ago that 7.2 would be out at the end of this month or no later than January.  That means that either Peter is out of the loop when it comes to releases, or we will NOT see PopcornFX tomorrow (or, I guess, that the requirement for 7.2 isn't true).

Given the countdown I'd be REALLY surprised at this point if we don't see it tomorrow -- but I'd also be surprised (not AMAZINGLY so, but just a bit) if 7.2 comes out tomorrow (in that case I'd feel more for Peter than I would for anyone, since even Miranda was confident last week we'd see it before Christmas, and if SHE was that confident but Peter wasn't there is something a bit amiss).

(Or maybe it's just that Peter has been burned by production himself too many times he's just far more cautious than he would need to be -- just interesting, that's all).
