I can't wait to try out the Iray extention..
Esp. it was mentioned that it's faster than Daz3D... yay..  and capable of exporting in movie / frames.
Can't wait to have the function in Iclone itself too.
I do wonder though..  Does ALL you download need to be updated?  (with Daz you have 3Delight and Iray.. Iray used different textures etc)

Of course, if RL really wanted to get us interested in the iRay solution they would put out a 5 min video demonstrating how well it works for animation - like tomorrow! - heck, give me a Beta copy and I'll do it for them!

Good for you, Dennis! I'm just not so sure about Iray, due to the listed limitations, so I was not going to bother with it (Indigo blues, I guess...:unsure: ).

If we had at least a timeline and a list of what would definitely not be in Iray, that would help. Also some idea of the speed, as I'm not interested in another still renderer.

I ordered mine last night, too, complete with the Iray plug-in becasue I do like my toys.

I said I would wait with my order until after the WIP #2 video was released.  Even though WIP #2 didn't really tell me anything new, I placed my order anwyay.  I'm really excited about the improved morphs that were shown in one of the first announcements (maybe THE first announcement).  It will really be nice to not have strangely disjointed fingers and pointy buttocks when the character moves.  It will be interesting to see how well the LOD for characters works in iClone video production.  Even though I don't expect to render movies with Iray, it should be fun to play with and explore its limitations and capabilities.



(Hmm... maybe I should have shared this in the WIP 2 thread.  Oh well.  At least this is a CC3 pre-order thread.)

iClone 7... Character Creator... Substance Designer/Painter... Blender... Audacity...

Laptop - Windows 10, MSI GS63VR STEALTH-252, 16GB RAM, GTX 1060 (6GB), 256GB SSD and 1TB HDD

I  am excited that Character Creator 3 can now import Daz characters and clothes without going through detours like Blender; also the new LOD feature is great.  I just gave away $129 today for an advance copy to Reallusion, who really kicks ass!

@Robert: From what I understand, CC3 has a different "architecture" from CC1/CC2, so I don't think there is anything we can do as far as CC3 is concerned with the current iClone 7 / 3DXchange Pipeline.

Hello RL,

Not sure if this has already been addressed in this long thread, but fior those who already own iClone/3DX Pipeline version, why should the price for CC3 be the same ? Looking at the comparison table, some features are already granted so the same price is due to add the few remaining features. I would have expected two different prices to get to the CC3 Pipeline, one if coming from IC/3DX Pro and one when coming from IC/3DX Pipeline.

Regards,

Roberto

At least one huge piece of info dropped today -- the import of Daz characters automagically into CC3.

That ought to assure you of *most* of what you want (if you can take all the different permutations of Daz characters into CC3 easily there isn't almost any character you can't do, as I'm sure you're aware).  Really, really exciting stuff.

My concern is not to remodel the skin that is just superficial, I'm concerned about, size of eyeballs, eye socket distance, teeth design, jaw length, ear bones. Bunny teeth would be different than fox teeth. If I could make a clone of both Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde with CC3 then...



I await more info about this.
