From Clone Cloth Essential Clothing, I only need the Blazer Base as all my other clothing needs are covered by the Professional Outfits Clothing Pack.

Sadly, the Blazer Base in the Marketplace which I hoped would be my answer does not come with Input Maps which rather takes away the major step forward on Clone Cloth that comes with this generation.

Is there a way to add Input Maps to the Marketplace version of the Blazer Base?

Or, do I really have to buy the entire collection of Essential Clothing just for one jacket, whose fabric and buttons I'll be adding myself?

Thanks Postfrosch, I know and downloaded it.
Sadly it does not allow me to see the input maps. I also downloaded the Schoolgirl CC Character but, though she has input maps in her blazer, I cannot get to them to edit the RGB map.
I'm guessing I have to buy the pack which seems rather a wasted expense.

Hi Sw0000p,

I did just that to make my own RGB map, so I can do that to make a diffuse map and the other maps (specular, bump etc.) for editing in IC6.

Then I can revert to IC5 tailoring methods, I guess, though the Schoolgirl avatar RGB map does give me buttons and pocket flaps so IC5+, perhaps?

One day I'd like to come up with a project idea that just works ... Unsure

Thanks for the offer Sw0000p but I know how to handle all that stuff now that it's clear that I cannot directly access the CC Input Maps (except by the tools).

I was just hoping that I could do all the work in Character Creator and use the smarter materials methods. I thought 50 points was a bit cheap for a CC Base ...

Hello elliespooter,
without the Essential Package You can view the window for the RGB input map etc.
Do not open. These packages are mandatory pledge, so you can work efficiently with the CC.
See the links to the packages: Warung: The are expensive UNFORTUNATELY

With this packages you can then also bring something into existence.

Like Postfrosch said, the Essential Packs (both clothing and skin) enable the various map input boxes in CC. So if you don't have them, you can't import any sort of maps into CC.

I really wish Reallusion hadn't called it an "Essentials Pack."
The word "pack" makes it wound like "additional content," which is not normally connected to functionality.

They should have had Character Creator and Character Creator Pro, with  the "Pro" version including the functionality you get with the Essentials Pack.  It could have been (should be) tied to your iClone "Basic or Pro" license. That would have been a less confusing marketing message.

I also thought it would be "only" additional content, but quickly realized (search for an hour) that it desperately needs this Essential pack for reasonable work.
I'm curious what belongs to "surprise" with the update 1.5 on us
+1 Thanks for this answer

Here's the thing?

Buy a box of chocolates, just because really, really want the one perfect chocolate. Or spend the next week trying to create the perfect chocolate?

I think I'll be buying the Essentials Pack.

Sorry, Sw0000p. I am a story teller not a graphic artist.
