Hi there - I'm new to iClone and Character Creator, and I'm having a bit of a struggle with the CC Essentials skin pack.  I have a couple of questions:

I want to use the features such as decals etc. on my avatars but I can't seem to get it to work.  I understand there is an ongoing issue with the CC3 base characters being unable to use the Appearance Editor, which is a bit rubbish but I heard it's supposed to be patched early this year so they can, is that correct?

I tried using the CC1 base avatar and that can load the appearance editor, but when I tried to get a decal on it was a train wreck.  Very hard to work out how to load the actual base image (double click, when drag and drop works in every other part of the UI), and then the transparencies didn't work - I seemed to get a solid grey rectangle.

Also, I have already created several avatars using Headshot, and I'd like to try the PBR skin on them that came with the Essentials pack, but it destroys the Headshot skin.  Is there a way of switching to the PBR skin and getting the headshot textures and colours applied to it retrospectively?


Edit - I only really want the CC essentials PBR skin so I can do the layered decals and stuff to it.  Am I barking up the wrong tree here?  When CC3 characters can be used with the appearnace editor, can I do layered stuff with Digital Human skins?
