Dear Character Creator Users,

For this CC 3.3 release, Reallusion has made enhancements for some of the best selling content packs which can be divided into two parts: morphs and clothes. For the morphs, come added support for the all new CC3 Base+ character base along with all the optimizations that come with it. The quality and fidelity achieved by the transformation to the CC3 Base+ character base, is head and shoulders above the competition. For the clothes part, major breakthroughs have been made in resolving distorted shoulder areas and problems arising from cross-generational clothing application.

Read on to see which content packs have been improved, and ways to acquire them.

Repacked Morph Content

The Character Creator v3.3 installation process will also update CC Essential Morphs & Skin, Headshot Morph 1000+, and Adjustment and Balance Morphs content packs, if they have been previously installed. Morph contents will also store multi-generational data, so the same morph sliders will work optimally for different character bases.

Repacked List 

• CC Essential Morphs & Skin
• Headshot Morph 1000+
• Adjustment and Balance Morphs from 3D Scan Pipeline Learning

Auto & Manual Conversion for Non-Repacked Morph Content

You can use CC's internal morph conversion tools for developer content that have not been repacked. After you launch CC 3.3, you may find that some of the original sliders in the Morph panel are missing. This is because morphs that are not compatible with the current scene character will remain hidden until they are converted for CC3 Base+. You have two options available for conversion:

1. Automatic conversion after launching the application.
   Upgrading to version 3.3 will conveniently add support for CC3 Base+ for all morph sliders in the Template > Custom folders.

   Legacy morph sliders purchased after this upgrade will be detected by the application - in the Template and Custom folders - at which time, a message box will appear requesting for conversion. In which case, pressing the OK button will be sufficient to start the conversion process.

2. Manually activate the conversion process by choosing Help > Update Sliders to Current Base after initiating the application.

Note: This update will be applied to cloth bases across all presets and derivative content.
