Avatar Builder Service - Closure Announcement

It is with regret we have to announce the imminent closure of the iClone Avatar Builder service. As many of you will already know, Evolver (whose service powered Avatar Builder) has recently been purchased by Autodesk. This change of onwership means that Avatar Builder will now be closed at the request of Autodesk.

At present we don't have a confirmed date for the closure but it expected to be in about a weeks time. I will update when a date is finalized.

In the meantime if you still wish to use the service to build any avatars for iClone then please do so as soon as possible. You will of course be able to use the avatars in iClone after the service closes.

Hello--

Two female standard characters I purchased through iClone Avatar Builder did not download the hair so I can select them. The third female has a selectable hair prop as shown in the Help. The others do not even show they have hair as a separate prop? The hair is also integrated into the back of the neck on these two.

I have change the Head to Jana (this is not what I ordered), and got rid of the hair color on the back of the neck, but now the hands are a different color than the rest of the body.

I've tried changing them in both ver. 4 & 5 and I have fiddled extensively within Photoshop to get something workable.

Any suggestions?

thanks!

Perhaps this link might help is shows the procedure to correct skin approx 3/4 of the way down the page.

Hi Dave

Please refer to the Avatar Builder guide HERE.

This will explain how hair works and how to match skin tone correctly.

I want to thank dutchess110 and Peter as I was able to get the skin color corrected.

I'm still working on the head situation.

The pounding has subsided to a slight "deformation".

I have been given 4,000 pts credit for the 2 G-Evolver characters that did not download with a separate hair prop.

I was asked to send them to Kai Deneve @ Reallusion Support, but the two models I sent were messed up, so their modelers could not fix the mesh.

I'm very happy that Reallusion tried to fix the problem.

Thanks!

I just received this e-mail about Evolver, so I assume this affects the service as well?

Hi Animagic

The email from Autodesk applies to the Evolver service which ends on the 31st January 2012. The Avatar Builder service from Reallusion closed quite some time ago now.

Hi Peter, thanks. I guess I missed the memo... I knew it was about to close down, but not exactly when...
