Hi Richard

Unfortunately, Appearance Editor support for CC3 Base Characters is still some way off but it is coming in the 3.1 update later in the year.

However, you can already use CrazyTalk 8 Pipeline to send 3D heads to Character Creator 3. Just export as an RLHead from CT8 and then apply that head to a CC1 Base Character in CC3. Then optionally you can convert the CC1 character to a CC3 character from the Modify Panel in CC3.

Peter, please please can you push up the line the growing frustration that we all have with C.C 3.   Yes it is potentially a great product but as people who i recommended to point out without the ability to use the Appearance Editor for CC3 avatars or the ability to use the CT8 photo to 3D character facility direct to CC3 what use is it to a great many people.

Peter i have been very loyal in my continued use of the reallusion products but even i am now looking to try other products.  

I note your request to use the technical issues submission route which i also will do.


regards richard

In my case, Character Creator was installed, but it must have gagged on the step in installation that activates the custom characters.  I tried installation of the resource pack via the HUB a bunch of times with no luck.  After seeing your reply to my post, I did all of those steps (which honestly I would have never found on my own), but before actually running the exe it downloaded, I check the program and that menu choice was there.  I activated the custom stuff and then did the install of what I downloaded via your instructions.  During the initial installation of CC, it said I needed the resource pack and took me there to download it but I could never install it.

I'm guessing but I have a stinking suspicion that if I had just done the install from the HUB after doing that activation, it would have worked from there too.

I will say that the error reporting in the program is really poor... The message that I got told me NOTHING about what the problem was.  It just said it was cancelled...

Anyway, I couldn't have solved it without your input.  Thanks...really.

The "New" indicator just means an item that has been installed recently but has never been used. 

The "Free" indicator means that it has not yet been installed, but is available as free Resource or Bonus. During installation of the main program, you should have been prompted to download and install the Resource pack. It does that for iClone, it should do so for CC as well.

I can see this to be confusing without further information, but those indicators are by design and should not be considered bugs. What would be helpful is that if you click on an icon with the Free indicator that it prompts you to download and install the relevant Resource pack. I don't know if it does that currently.

Cheers Gerry, I'll give that a go, though they may very well be aware of it. 

Thanks so much... That did it.  It appears that the content wasn't activated in the main program.  Once I did that, the setup ran as expected.

Thanks once more.  Incredibly helpful response...

What I would suggest is that you consider the announcements in the Hub as informative.

In this case, go the your member page and then go to "Registration", where you will find a list of your registered products.



Find the entry for Character Creator 3 and select download.



There will be a number of links; one will be for the Resource Pack. Download that and install.

Hi... Sorry but I'm a tad confused here by the forum.  In any case, if this post isn't where it should be, I hope someone will let me know.

OK, so the hub says there's one update available.  It's the Character Creator 3 Resource Pack.  It's obviously downloaded it before because installation starts almost immediately, and it continues until about 93% or so, the pops up a dialog that says "Installation was cancelled.  All update processes will stop."  It never gets past this and always stops at the same percentage.  If the exact % number is key, I'll run it again...

Any suggestions about what to do?  I'm on 3.03...Thanks in advance!

If you notice an issue that is causing problems, or something that is not working as expected then you should enter it in the FeedBack Tracker. Issues in the FT are reportedly read by the various development department members, who may, or may not, think that the issue is worthy of their valuable attention. If they consider it worthy of attention they may someday designate it as "Assigned" - and even upgrade it to "Solved", or better yet "Released". Quite often however issues slumber in the deep space area known as "Active" - somewhere between Area 51 and the backend of beyond. :w00t::Whistling:

Ah, ok. Some content was showing up as 'new' or 'free', but as I found from someone else's post, it just required the Resource Pack to be redownloaded and installed. Now it works fine again. Is there some way to nominate this to be fixed? It is a little frustrating and takes up time. Other than that, I'm still working through all the features with Unreal and it's some really impressive work you've created.
