Hi, wonder if any developers would consider creating an Indian...as in from India (not Native American) family??? Mother, father, daughter, son, in some beautiful traditional clothing especially. I'd certainly be interested. thanks for the consideration, Dave

I have been waiting for the same. Though there are few Indian faces available on site/store.

Go to the marketplace and do a search for India. You will see a bevy of clothes and faces from India.

As an Indian, a quick glance tells me that they are not really sarees except the last link where even the wrapping is wrong.
Saree is a single piece 9 yard cloth. The front Pleate and Pallu ( the last end over the shoulder ) defines the basic wrapping of the saree. There is no separate piece for the head cover in saree. People cover their head with the saree itself.

For some clarification, one may do a google search " how to wrap a saree " or check sites like sareesaheli dot com.

In Pack 1,2 and 3 they are more like Lehenga and Choli Combo ( still needs 10% work ), not saree.

I personally feel there is a demand for technically appropriate Indian Saree, Dhoti ( similar single piece wrap for men ), turbans for farmers / traders / Sikhs, Salwar Kameez, Regular Kurtas ( The one showns are more like Sherwani, not kurta) are needed for people like us who want to focus on the story telling. We are not qualified in costume designing for ICLONE. We want to focus on story telling. So we truely need help in Good Character and costume designs.

I am willing to provide any research help and be a beta tester for a series on India specific products. I believe ICLONE will help people like us to cater the regular animation business where the margin is under tremendous pressure and still tell great stories.

And we too need costumes for telling old Indian Royal as well as spiritual stories. A glimpse of such costumes can be seen in few high quality serials on " Little Krishna" from Reliance BIGANIMATION on YOUTUBE dot com or many such Indian animated series.

I am not criticising the products. I am saying there is a potential for animators from India, Pakistan,Bangladesh,Srilanka to use these products if they are technically appropriate and "usable".

Hi, oopsy...to all concerned. I'm looking for Crazytalk Animator characters. Kurzal has made some nice "Indians" (native Americans). Perhaps he'd like to give it a go...hint, hint, hint. PrahbatM thanks for your great input. I think you confirm that there is a real demand for such characters. I want to do a short CTA on the Chandogya Upanishads, so I think I should have some genuine characters. Again,thanks to all. PS. Igor, I would certainly purchase this pack as I think would Mr. PrahbatM.

Hi PrabhatM,...

I have answered your question in Reallusion City but perhaps, you did not get my response. Realluson city message often end up in the spam mail trash bin as they are delivered anonymous... Smile

I suggest you send me some kind of specification and I am sure I can realize the indian Cloth.

Cheers. Smile

Hi,

Thanks for the response. As you rightly guessed, I did not receive your reply. I tried to look at my Spam box that I opened after many many months. It was difficult to trace any sensible mail in that spam filled box.

I will work on a basic specification and send you.

As others have said it: There are not enough (two very basic) Indian designs for Crazytalk Animator. I would love a few Sari's, Shalwar Chemises, etc. Bollywood style. And even, some Indian dancing.
