Hello Everyone!

Thank you all for your great patience!
We are excited to announce that the Character Creator 3 - Work-in-Progress 2 today!

In Work-in-Progress 1, we looked at how CC3 represents Quality Production. (click to see the related forum thread)
In Work-in-Progress 2, this WIP 2 reveals the breakthrough of how Character Creator 3 (CC3) is centered to complete the 3D game character pipeline for the industry. Other than adding a highly optimized game character base for mobile, AR and VR developers; CC3 also integrates InstaLOD’s model and material optimization technologies to generate game-ready characters that are animatable on-the-fly with multiple LOD outputs.



Visit the Work-in-Progress 2 webpage for full information.

If you are looking into this powerful character creation tool that will unify the entire animation industry, then do not miss the Character Creator 3 Pre-order Campaign to get the best deals for a limited-time!

*iClone 7 users will get a free copy of the "Character Creator 3 for iClone" edition. See the Edition Comparison Table for more details. 

I think one of the questions being raised a lot in that other thread is getting lost -- is the "Essentials" pack different for CC3, or do those of us who already own the pack (for CC2) don't need to buy?  This is pretty critical -- as Dennis points out, the pack itself contains morphs that are used in CC, so we need to know if a rebuy is in order to take advantage of the sale price.

It's the same one, but it's repacked to make it perfect fit for CC3 Base. Everyone who's owned this pack can get it for free.

This is amazing news. To what date can we use the pre-order price?
Thank you.

Wow!!! Wow!!! Wow!!!
Miranda, my mind is blown!! This is the most exciting Reallusion release ever for me! 

My business has completely shifted to Augmented Reality and the Facebook Camera Effects Platform over the past year. I have mainly modelled everything I need from scratch as there is a 20k poly per model limit and a 50k poly total scene limit. The texture optimisation is also a huge deal so multiple image files are not really suitable. CC3 answers all of my character creation needs now and perfectly fits with my Zbrush, 3D Coat, Substance, Blender to AR Studio pipeline. 

I only have two small problems at the moment:
1) I want CC3 now!!! I have paid the pre-order price and I am counting down the days!
2) I need to upgrade my portable hardware! I have a 2017 MacBook Pro (AR Studio is Mac only), a Surface Pro 4 and an iPad pro that I take everywhere. I do also have a Lenovo Y580 (old now and with an Nvidia 660) and a desktop machine (not massively powerful - Nvidia 960) but these don't fit in my backpack which I use to travel to clients and my Surface Pro 4 can not run any Reallusion products even in DX9 mode.

I am eyeballing two new machines: A Surface Book 2 - £3000 with an Nvidia 1060 and a Lenovo Yoga 730 - £1500 with an Nvidia 1050. Will CC3 run on the Lenovo Yoga? The Nvidia 1050 in the model I am looking at has 4gb of vram.

Yes, more one-button-ish mega time savers! 
Man, I bet a lot of you have gone through hoops and hoops to do what it looks like this will allow us to do (merging textures, decimating poly's).
Really cool.

Also, notice CC base will at start have Genesis like texture sets with separate arms, legs, and body.  Cool!!!
