Well at least you say the CC Essentials will be compatible with CC3.
This still does not address the fact that I have already paid out once for GoZ only for RL to then not included it although I had paid for it.
So it I have to purchase CC3 pipeline to get it that means that I have been charged twice for GoZ.
Not a very good way for a company to treat it's customers.
I hope this is going investigated and reflected in the price that I would be charged if I decide to purchase pipeline.
I am sure there are others that this would affect also having previously been told that GoZ was a plugin and included in the price they paid only then to be told no now not available.

Thanks for the comparison chart.
Is CC 3 also going to be the replacement for  "iClone 3DXchange v7.22 Pipeline", they they we're going to stop with that. Since i use it a lot for converting Daz exported FBX files
and import them in Iclone.

@Peter(RL)
Thanks for that Peter. Now that is reassuring.

I thought 'Distinguished' as with 'distinguished economist' just meant 'old'.

Wasn't there a post before that CC2 users we're getting CC3 for free?

 CC 3 for IClone is free for IC 7 User (But there is a lack of (important) compared to the CC 3 pipeline version)
If that is enough, then (hopefully) it can work just as well as with the CC 2
Look here
https://www.reallusion.com/iclone/3d-character.html#edition-comparison

For example, I do not need GoZ
Also I can do without the FBX export (although I do not have 3dx7 pipeline)

What excites me to buy CC 3 pipeline
- Clothes car skinning
- Cloth skin weight editing
as well as the LOD plugin for CC avatars
These parts would then be $ 129 (which is also superior)

All I see is a bundle.

You must not buy a bundle.  There is also only CC 3 pipeline without addition Look here:

This is a problem that I have always had with iClone. They have never been very clear about the cost of upgrades. I suggest that IC marketing takes the time to write very precise ads so there are no misunderstandings.

Thanks,

Sorry for the confusion, I was actually referring to creating faces from photos (which I was waiting for so long). 3D scan looks like a part of the final stage of the CC3 release. But we are still in WiP1.

This doesn't seem accurate -- the CC3 site features Scan to 3D in the "Official Launch" section.

I'm attaching a screenshot of the above.

Can anyone from RL staff clarify this? It would seem a somewhat shady marketing practice to present this as a feature if it is not going to be present in the final product. Thanks!

This has been discussed recently and no, it would not be part of the CC3. And no plans for future development either...sadly...
