Good day , 

I am trying to update the software but it is now more than a hour and the Reallusion HUB update still shows Waiting for CC3 update and Smart Gallery plugin. Is this normal to take so long ?

In the Hub window click on Refresh and that should solve the issue. If not exit the Hub and then restart it.

I understand that the majority of the focus is for people who are Gaming Companies, or Developers. Although, to have created CC1 & CC2 with all the features at hand, but then turn around and make us pay for like 70-80% of the functionalities in CC3 is not right at all as a company. I asked this same question in a ticket, but now I'm starting to see that the answer given was just to blow me off.

You can't even edit ANY of the skin textures in the Editor without paying the $229 for it? Come on, that's ridiculous. Then, there are many of the texture add-ons ONLY available in the Premium that could have easily been included in the vanilla update. I mean, I get the DAZ stuff, or whatever, and SOME of the extra textures with a lot of creativity in it, cool, whatever. Although, only 3 makeup options for female full, and two for male, not including all the other skin packages and STANDARD makeup additions? Really???? Yet, you get this massive library in the Premium...of course, if you pay $229 for it! That's just really not right at all for the overall average customer. Everyone isn't selling characters/gaming, or what have you, yet would like to take advantage of this in their movies.

Although, I know my saying this means nothing because you have people/gaming brands actually purchasing/praising you all for this, so whatever, right? I just wanted to leave my opinion. 

Thanks I did so, unfortunately it takes a few days...

Does the composite facial hair mentioned for CC 3.4 include hair cards?
