I'm with you about this. Looking forward to use this too.

I'm super pumped for this. If it's $100, it's well worth it. I think anything over $100 is overkill, but this IS reallusion we're talking about.. lol

Excuse the question that may seem silly. I have Character Creator Pipeline Vers. 3.11.2102.1 and CrazyTalk 8 Pipeline Ver 8.13.3615.1 and I would like to use the "generate head from photo" function available on Charater Creator, but this function is not selectable. Why?

I meant within the program, i dont have photoshop, and if i edit the texture manually it will be worse. The side of the beard looks like the AE beards that are quite awful. The front looks awesome and realistic, sides do not

That's why I fancy a tool that doesn't use a photo as a texture but as guidelines only. Computer vision and AI nowadays is advanced enough to be able to extract the most important facial features (see nVidia's StyleGan and also Deep Fakes), so it should be possible to apply the features to some high quality HD skin / hair / beard templates and produce high definition skins with high likeness. But, alas, Headshot is far from that. You have to start with high quality, evenly lit photo references.

WOW! Fantastic plugin for CC3, thank you Miranda!

Looks great! I’m keeping everything crossed that it is affordable. I was so excited for the Unreal Live Link in the past, but the price put it out of my reach, hopefully this plug in won’t be quite so steep!

I have to agree. I hope it's not priced too high. I wonder if such a steep price would lower profits. That's why I didn't buy the unreal plugin myself. This isn't my job and this software appears more aimed at hobbyists. I can't help but wonder if the unreal live link would have sold far more if it was 1/10th the price. Would a lower price lead to over 10x more sales to compensate the difference though? Anyways the pro mode of this looks really good. As long as this is priced fairly its a must buy for me.

I'll bet a dollar this comes in around $99 (or perhaps it will be priced at $150 with a "special" for "iClone members" (which is basically anyone) for limited time only).

It *could* be higher but that would be a major mistake, I think (any higher than $150 will price it right out of this market, given there are many head generation programs of similar quality that are that price or lower).
