I'm getting problems with blow out. This has happened to me 3 times now. I made dozens of scenes using this skin texture. I saved it as a material so it's the same texture but once I applied the material skin.iMtl the scene gets blown out like a nuclear explosion.

I load this tweaked avatar that is replacing the old one, I previously saved all materials of the old so that I can transfer them to the new avatar, and I load all the textures but when it came to the skin then it blows out. The only thing different about the skin than all the other materials it was tweaked with the Adjust Color. I adjusted saturation to +100 before saving it as that was the ideal setting for the skin. The blow out doesn't go away no matter what I did, I deleted the material texture, made every setting to black, turn off all Visual effects off, and tried changing GI settings even changing the adjust colors settings to the palest values. The only thing that stopped it from blowing out was to make the opacity less than 100%... But that is undesirable. 

I suspect that there's a bug with Adjust Color, but I want to see if others are getting the same problem as me.

The spring feature seems to have stopped working for me (version 7.41.2525). It worked fine about a month ago, I used it extensively. Now I'm doing the same thing and getting no results. This is true in standard "rib twist" springs in CC3 and older iClone characters, as well as my own simple props. But they work great in 3D Xchange.

Hi Dragonskunk

Just to let you know this has been confirmed as a bug and we plan to fix it hopefully in the next update.

The default I believe is %APPDATA%\Local\Temp\iClone7Temp. I have my iClone temp directory on a different drive as my system drive is "only" a 512 GB SSD.

Does anyone remember where iClone and Iray put TEMP files on the C: Drive?

a) My sky suddenly turned white for no apparent reason.
b) My C: drive only has about 65MB free...  yesterday it had several GB free

I think the "In-session" Iray render has filled my C: drive.


I have an urgent non-computer errand to do, gotta run.

iClone 7... Character Creator... Substance Designer/Painter... Blender... Audacity...
Desktop (homebuilt) - Windows 10, Ryzen 9 3900x CPU, GTX 1080 GPU (8GB), 32GB RAM, Asus X570 Pro motherboard, 2TB SSD, terabytes of disk space, dual  monitors.
Laptop - Windows 10, MSI GS63VR STEALTH-252, 16GB RAM, GTX 1060 (6GB), 256GB SSD and 1TB HDD

This was due to a noise effect being added by default to suppress color banding. Check Effects under Visual, where it can be disabled. This will solve your problem.

 BTW, in iClone 7.41 this is no longer the default but added as a rendering option.

iClone 7.41 has now been released. Please see the first post in this thread for instructions on how to report any bugs or issues you may find in the new update.

I'm going to update my K-Lite codec pack first see if that works.

[UPDATE]
Yup! That's it, the codecs I had may still have been OK but while installing K-Lite I got a message saying:

The installed "vorbis codec" causes crashes and is unstable do you want to uninstall it?

I said OK and so far iClone is behaving. That codec was from old software called Fruity Loops.

Thank you Peter, you saved me and tech support a lot of head scratching.
