Like the other poster here, I keep getting "character not supported" when trying to import an IC7 character into CT8 pipeline.
Can only import IC6 characters. Same goes for characters made with CC: Can't import them.
I checked your manual for CT pipeline: claims that I should just be able to drag and drop the content into CT8 pipeline.
That, and the constant crashing of the program when you try and make a project of 3 minutes lenght or more is a CRAZY bug.
In fact, making the program useless.  Please let me know how to fix this. 
I even tried converting the characters into Iclone6 /CC 1.5 IAvatars, but get weird errors when I try.
