Before CC-3D Scan Workflow is revealed, we'd like to show you the 3D Scan Heads content pack as a proven solution of 3D Scan Workflow.
The 3D Scan Heads Pack contains 10 heads, 5 female & 5 male.
The file format will be .ccSlider and .ccAvatarPreset.
When applying .ccAvatarPreset on a character, morph data and skin texture will be shown directly.
Let's take a look!
High Quality - 4K Texture
Head Morph (.ccSlider)

Excellent stuff.
Very promising. However, they highlight the need for sub-surface scattering (SSS) in the CC3 and iClone native real-time renderers (without resorting to long Iray render times).

This looks good, but can you clarify what is meant by "scan". From the post title I thought it was going to refer to the re-introduction of the ability to scan photos and then import it onto the avatar's face to enable the creation of "look-alike" characters, but the examples suggest otherwise. Can someone elaborate on what this is actually about.
Thanks,
Tony

The are doing high-resolution laser and image scans of a live person to create a detailed 3D model of that person's head.
Initially they are provided scans (models) done by some "studio."
In the future it might become something you can do, like motion capture, but I have no idea how much the equipment would cost. Maybe it could use a series of photographs or something, I don't know.
This is totally different than the "head from photo" that we can do using CrazyTalk 8.
I'm not a big-time expert on this, but I hope that helped.

Will this allow us to create true 3D scans using something like the iPhone X and XS "true depth" sensor or other consumer grade 3D scanners/apps? I've been trying to figure out a way to do this (see https://forum.reallusion.com/389935/Ethnicity-Face-Morphs-with-CC3-and-iPhone-X) but am finding it difficult... So, if a standard solution is coming from Reallusion, that would be great!

"Us?" No. Not initially.
Maybe someday? Maybe.
See my reply from a few days ago. I believe I summarized it correctly.
Miranda(RL), would you clarify this again?

where can l get 3dx profiles from or face bones to build a head?

Hi Peter, am i missing something? how many content packs will be released before studios can get the info on how to create our own photo scanned characters? -was this how-to information already post some where else? Thanks.
The 3D Scan Pipeline Learning Videos were released some time ago. You can find them by clicking the Add-Ons tab of the page below.

Hi Peter
Hope you're well.
Just checking in to see when 3D Scan Heads Vol 2 will be released?
Thanks in advance!

Is Vol: 2 still happening?
The latest releases in the Virtual Human scan series are 4 new full bodied characters which can be found below.
https://www.reallusion.com/contentstore/FeaturedDeveloper/profile/#!/Scanlab/Character%20Creator
Unfortunately the 3D Scan Heads Vol.2 pack is still on the "to do" list but we don't have a scheduled date for this as yet.

Any word on the female bodies to match I have all the heads and of course Louis and his body- but the female ones would be nice Magda especially- Trying to make her look better than Magic Leaps Mica :)
Unfortunately, there are no plans to add additional bodies for this pack. I can now reveal a new 3D Scan pack is in the works and tentatively scheduled for the end of Q1 2019.

i hope so Peter, we are just about hanging in there with regards to continuing with CC3. Why, because CC3 is now behind the competitiom with regard to realistic scanning as CT8 cannot be used direct to CC3. ie the pipelibe we paid for is NOT a pipeline at all. And even if CT8 did work sending character produced to CC3 characters it is now way old technology from 2 photos.
Lets see what the new scan system looks like. Hopefully we can stick with CC for producing characters.
regards R

Hi Peter
You mentioned Virtual Human Heads Vol 2 was scheduled for late Q1. Do you have an updated ETA?
Thanks in advance!

Hi... I'll check with the content team to find out if the pack will be delayed a little.

UPDATE:
The Content team have explained that there was a change made to the 3D Scan release schedule and it was decided to release the Virtual Human Outfits packs before the next head pack. The Virtual Human Heads Vol.2 pack is now scheduled for around the end of Q2 2019.
Apologies for any disappointment this schedule change may cause.

Fortunately you can buy 1 head if you want

These are excellent assets, and I noticed they're referred to as "Vol. 1".
Any news on when the next Volume will come out? :-)

Nothing to report at the moment.
Actually, because a content pack is designated Vol.1 doesn't mean there will always be a Vol.2. It really depends on demand and the feedback we receive.

Yes, I saw your posting, and it makes sense, but I just wondered if it is really the case that they are using "high-resolution laser and image scans" or something like the new iPhone X (and XS) true depth camera. It doesn't use lasers but infrared emitters capable of sending out something like 30,000 unique "dots" to capture a true 3D image. Apps have been built that use the true depth camera, along with the "normal" 2D camera, to capture a 3D model and simultaneously capture a texture image. It is pretty astonishing how well it works. In addition to the iPhone, there are other consumer (or maybe I should say "prosumer") grade devices that do similar things... so, it seems very possible that we could be empowered do it ourselves, right now, today. This, to me, would be ideal. I just don't know if that is what Reallusion has in mind. I sure hope so...

We will be launching a 3D Scan workflow page for CC3 to show how the process works in some detail. Once it is available we will post a thread about it on the forum. This will initially be aimed primarily at professional studios who have the required equipment, but of course anyone with an interest in this field can take a look for sure and better understand what is involved.

This content pack looks fantastic!
I noticed the Facebook post about it said it would be available at the end of October. Do you have any news about the new ETA?
Thanks in advance.
