I downloaded some training materials from Reallusion and will start studying them during this upcoming holiday week. In the interim, just tried some basic camera movements and animations with a couple characters. Also played with character creator (although mapping in a photograph was not as easy as I might have imagined.
Enjoy...

You are doing what I need to do!
I only used Iclone 6 a few times since buying it as well as a new computer to run it on.
Nevertheless I expect to upgrade to the next version. The ideas for films keep on brewing in my mind - will they ever see the light of day?
Good luck - I like what you've done so far.

@Dwacon,
What amazing timing... learning iClone 6 just in time for the announcement of iClone 7 pre-orders. 
That sounds like something I'd typically do. 
Have fun, and don't be shy about asking questions here as you transition from iClone 5 to 6.

What little time I've had to use Iclone 6 this year has been spent "getting under the hood" as Mr Swooop would say.... just in time to now move onto Iclone 7.

Irony.
The truly painful part... the stuff I recently purchased doesn't count towards the free iC7 upgrade.
Oh, the pain... the pain of it all... oh dear!
But, seriously... this could be a trend. Maybe I will stick with iC6 until iC8 is announced...

I don't mean to laugh at your pain, but that was funny. I actually laughed - or at least chuckled - out loud. Is "COL" a thing?
I do know how you feel. Been there, done that, felt that pain. Sure am looking forward to some more info about iC7 though. PBR for sure, but I wonder what else.

Will IC7 necessitate another computer upgrade?? I have IC6 but haven't been able to upgrade my comp as yet. Should I wait and get a super-mainframe similar to what the Defense Department has or will my IC6 upgrade run IC7?
Thanks

I don't know if Defense Department grade equipment is up to the task, try and find out what NASA are purchasing for future Mars Missions.     
Seriously though, I hope that RL release a REALISTIC spec sheet for IC 7, and not something that can just about choke it's way through a still frame render.

First graphics card with plenty of VRAM, then RAM, I would say. What do you have currently?

A medium to high-end gaming computer is best for iClone. I would aim for an i5 or better from intel, or the higher end AMD chips (8350, I guess). A powerful GPU with at least 4 gig of vram is a good idea. This doesn't mean other cards wont work, it just might work better.
Nice hardware comparing site. You can compare GPU's, CPU's, etc. http://www.userbenchmark.com

I just saw a video demo of possible iC7 capabilities and am greatly impressed. Looks like a more photorealistic method of production. And, with better DAZ interaction, I may have to get serious on my next feature.
