I've been saving for a couple of years in anticipation of IC8. I just purchased the requisite amount of software and merchandise, including Headshot and Hair & Beard Builder, Modern Cars Combo, and Nature Terrain Builder. It cost $200 more than a simple upgrade would have. But it feels pretty good having the software and content I 'couldn't afford' because I was saving for for IC8. Now I have both. So, I am happy about this offer. That was my experience, anyway.

That's a good way to do it. I've been a customer almost 10 years (it'll be 10 years in March). In that time, I've spent over $6,500 US on software and content, not including what I spent in the marketplace. I bought CrazyTalk Animator 1,2 and 3. CrazyTalk 8 pipeline. iClone 6 and 7 with 3dxchange pipeline. Character Creator was originally free, but I bought CC2 and CC3 Pipeline. I think I've been a very loyal customer during the last 10 years.

Peter,
UE5 beta is available for trial run before the release.
Will IC8 & CC4 have beta user program?
If so, how I do I apply?
Thanks,
There are no immediate plans for an open beta or early access version. However, we will certainly keep these options on the table should it become viable.

So... when I upgrade for the 600.00, does that upgrade ALL the extras and plug-ins I have purchased? Or will I need to upgrade those one by one? For example.... LEAP, the facial mocap, and so on....
If you own the following iClone 7 and Character Creator 3 paid plug-ins, you will get a free upgrade version to be compatible with iClone 8 and Character Creator 4.
iClone: Motion LIVE Plug-in, all mocap profiles for Motion LIVE Plug-in, iClone Unreal Live Link, PopcornFX, Iray Render Plug-in Character Creator: Headshot Plugin, SkinGen Premium Plug-in, Iray Render Plug-in.

Does anyone know if CC4 will work with iClone7 if I were to just update that for now... or if CC3 works with iClone8 should I do that one first? Or do both only work with the new upgrades? And if they are backward compatible, will it be like it is now? where they work sometimes they need adjustments or tweaks for the newer version.
You would be able to use CC3 to create characters for iClone 8, but characters created in CC4 will not be compatible with iClone 7 because of the new character formats used.

I have a question on upgrade price: Will people who have 3dxchange get additional discounts on the upgrade price, seeing as how it is now integrated into the programs? Consider: 2021 Year End Treats | Reallusion| Product | Pre-sale Campaign | Regular Price | Upgrade Price | | CC4 | Spend $399+, Get CC4 for Free | $299 | $249 | | iC8 | Spend $699+, Get iC8 for Free | $599 | $499 | | CC4 + iC8 | Spend $799+, Get CC4+iC8 for Free | $699
(Value: $898) | $599 |
- iClone 8 ($599) : With partial 3DXchange Pipeline integration (Value $499) and Curve Editor (Value $149). Check out iClone 8 vs iClone 7
- Character Creator 4 ($299): With partial 3DXchange Pipeline integration (Value $499). Check out CC4 vs CC3
I have: iClone 7 (Regular Price: $199. Upgrade from iClone 6: $129) Character Creator 3 (Regular Price: $199. Upgrade from CC2: $129) 3dxchange Pipeline 7 (Regular Price: $499. Upgrade from 3xchange Pipeline 6: $299). Curve Editor Plugin for iClone 7 (Regular Price: $149. Member Price: $79). According to the chart above, if I have iClone 7 and CC3, the upgrade price is $599. However: iClone 7 and CC3 (Regular Price: $398. Upgrade from IC6 and CC2: $258) iClone 7, CC3, 3dxchange Pipeline 7, Curve Editor (Regular Price: $1046. Upgrade from previous versions: $636). So basically, if there is NO extra discount for people who previously bought 3dxchange or curve, then people who bought: iClone 7 and CC3 ONLY (paying $258-398) will pay the SAME upgrade price as those customers who bought: iCone 7, CC3, 3dxchange Pipeline 7 and curve editor ($636-$1046), and thereby paid 2x-3x as much! Yet, both parties will get the same products with the same functionalities, and the optional (expensive) plugins would count for nothing. Perhaps as a reward to loyal customers who paid more in the past, thereby supporting Reallusion and the development of these new products, Reallusion might consider additional discounts on the upgrade price. Something to sincerely think about. Thank you for the feedback. I have passed your points to the sales team for review and consideration.

I understand that everybody needs to make some money for living. But these prices are out of my reach. I am in IC since V4 as a hobby user. But now I am disabled, I have to live on a budget. So these prices are beyond my Horizont, I stay with what I have, just being sad, because I recently bought CA4 Pipeline and now have to learn, it is already outdated. Should have skipped that....
Whatever, I stay with the old versions, I do only hobby Movies anyways.

Cartoon Animator 4 is not outdated. That is the current version. No announcement has been made about a new version. Regarding iClone, you can continue using your current version for as long as you wish. It will continue to be supported. However, you may find at some point a special offer becomes available that puts an upgrade to the newest version within your budget. :)
