Thank you, Peter. I did see the roadmap but assumed you continued working on it after release as you have with iClone7. I just needed to start saving for it.
Does Character Creator 3 get upgraded at the same time? Sorry, absolutely newbie here - just moved over from Daz3d. Daz + iClone are the tag team winners in 3D animation in the "mega results for less work" category. You guys do great work.
Thanks for your patience.

All of these updates sound great! I'm looking forward to the Lip Sync enhancements, but they all sound good.  Motion blur and lens flare are things I can accomplish in AE now (and do), but it would be nice to have in iClone.  The new renderer also looks good too.
You guys have been busy!

My favorite thing is the Flares!
If there is a Flares-25 pack, I am buying it!
And if we can tweak the colors and add alpha maps...!!!!!
ME WANT NOW

Thankyou for the roadmap, it looks interesting.  I was hoping for more, always, simply because my skill set is limited and anything that does things more easily overcomes my deficits.  However I have realised that I am nowhere near using the  potential of iclone 7 and CC3 so I got a year of practice to get better and then when iclone 8 comes along you never know, I might make something real good.  You also said "this is just a beginning, there will be more exciting things to come..." so I am not disappointed.  Off to do an animation tutorial as that is one of my real weaknesses innit.

Roadmap looks great, look forward  to trying out the new tools and improvements

Actually RL - please overhaul in iC8 the way iClone searches its content folders.
The current code can't handle large sized folders, and sometimes goes into endless loading circles, then when you click on iClone, it goes white "Not Responding" then crashes. 
Showcase great content, but make the experience bug-free and easy.  

Hi
Thank you all reallusion's team for every thing.... I'm waiting for all updates & the new Iclone 8 & every thing.
I wish you can put many things that I think it's very important for I clone.
like (( Toon Shader, Sketch, ink or paint render... and Stretch Bones for body and face to make characters more cartoonist stylist ))
Hope you can import or create something like this.
That's all I thinking in my head right now. 

Thanks

When can we have a more realistic render engine in iClone? I've seen the demo reel for iClone and it is disappointing in terms of quality. I know iClone is fast and easy to use so please improve the render quality

Whatever RL offers, it's never enough...

@RL
Good news,
I will wait and be surprised.
My favorite so far is volumetric lights.
An improved native renderer would be nice.
Kind regards rosuckmedia
