Hello, so after a few sleepless nights and pure frustration trying to figure out what I have done wrong,

i believe that the Audio2Face python plugin that is on the marketplace and listed in the existing A2F forum, is not supported in IClone 8

on the marketplace page, it specifically states that it works for Iclone 7.93 and above (which i assume means including 8)
though required program listed only states 7.93



In the existing A2F forum it also notes that 3DXhange is required for the python plugin, which is an iclone 7 only feature i believe

am i doing something wrong installing the plugin and python command in IClone 8? or am i correct in thinking it is not yet supported

and if it is not supported for IClone 8.... how do i go about getting a trial or download of IClone 7.93???

ultimately, i do not even need to use this particular workflow so at the end of the day i am figuring out another workflow with A2F. though i have been eyeing IClone for some time, did not have the money to purchase iclone 7 when i get my cc3 bundle, this functionality seems to be the cleanest and easiest way to connect A2F to my cc3 character for exporting to unreal

I will be using the pipeline to export to another 3d software with fbx


sorry if this seems frantic, i appreciate any thoughts towards this

I'm sorry about your predicament. And, no, you didn't do anything wrong.

Some Python-related plugins have not yet been updated for iClone 8. It would have been helpful if this information had been more clearly communicated by RL on the various product pages.

The mentioning of 3DXchange Pipeline with iClone 7 is because that enables the USD export for iClone 7. In iClone 8 the USD export is available without the need for 3DX.

It seems that it will be in iClone 8 at some point. There is an 8.1 coming (I don't know when) that has additional features implemented and hopefully Audio2Face.

It would be nice to have an official word on the status of Audio2Face from RL. Peter?

Apologies for the confusion. Unfortunately Python plugins for iClone 7 will not work in iClone 8. We are urgently working on updates for our own Plug-ins, and have already advised our developers that they should update their Plug-ins for iClone 8 as soon as possible. Hopefully it will not be too much longer to wait.

Thank you both SO MUCH for responding. I was going insane trying to figure this out, or even a Geometry Cache workaround to get it going immediately

it is nice knowing i did nothing incorrect.

In discord, i was suggested to reachout to support and request an iclone 7.93 trial and have just done so, so i hope they will grant me a trial to get my project finished currently.

when the plugin is released for Iclone 8 or 8.1 , i will most likely purchase it then if i like the fuctionality in 7.93/
based in the videos, i think i will!

thank you both again

What is the "discord" group you are using? 

Hi faradays.infinity,

Hello there, (iClone 8 and Audio2face updated). I have a problem with the new version of omniverse audio2face 2023.1.1, in previous version everything worked fine, but after updating to the new version of audio2face, specifically in Character Setup > Skin, this message appear when I try to select the mesh corresponding to the character's skin : The mesh has multiple separable components. Use Mesh > Mesh Separate to get a valid input mesh. How can I solve this problem please?

Hi Support, I've been trying setting up the new version of the audio2face 2023.1.1 in different ways according to the Youtube videos, a bunch of things changed from the previous version and it didn't work anymore, by the way, even using the examples available 'm facing the message in Audio2Face tab: Failed to build TenserRT Engine. So please could you give me a tutorial explaining in detail how to use this new version?
