CARTOON CHARACTER DESIGNER - TOON FIGURES

Cartoon Character Designer: Toon Figures are the new cartoon character bases for Character Creator 3. Benchmarked from mainstream cartoon character designs such as Disney and Pixar, all Toon Figures are well proportioned and crafted for the best cartoon style. This pack includes 1 x Cartoon Neutral base and 4 x Toon Figure bases: Ivonne, Robert, Steve and Tammy. Each one represents a unique body shape with assorted personalities like sexy-curvy female, friendly-athletic male, charming-lanky male, and innocent-petite girl. All these characters can be cleverly mixed and matched, with their head and body morphs to create different cartoon characters for maximum design value.

You can further adjust the toon facial features with details such as; head shape, nose shape, eyes and eyelash shapes, along with mouth and lip shapes for uniquely different character looks. Two types of PBR skin texture maps are provided in this pack; one in plain style, and one with partial details and makeups.

Two sets of facial expression profiles are also included in this Toon Figures pack. They are specially tuned for cartoon character facial animations including 6 modes: General / Smiley / Angry / Sad / Happy / Scared. Add them to your facial puppet profile library to start animating like a pro!

Sometimes I've missed an extra step with getting these things to work right, so if anyone could correct me or verify they get the same, just let me know.  THX!

Toon Hair placement, scaling, and morph issue

I checked, and I get exactly the same result. Sad

Same issue here :/

I don't know if this is the right place for this, so mods feel free to move this.
I was playing around with the Cartoon Character Designer, seeing how much I could modify the characters, and I did a minor mod on the hair and skin, and morphed the body a bit, again just playing around.
Here was the result.

Thank you for the feedback about the hair fitting issues. We will investigate the problem and I'll update again when I have more news.

im enjoying using the characters but there is no way to make older people...i wanted a 60 odd year old man and woman to round things out...also a lot more choice when it comes to hair..will this ever be looked into?

Remember that Daz also offers some cartoon folks (and some very nice old people) that work fine in iClone:

as well as some great cartoon hair:

With the hair fitting issue, is that something, say if fixed, that would come as a product-update or that would be a CC3 update?
By j-wag - 5 Years Ago
Can you use those daz characters in iClone right away, or do you need to do something with them/use other software first?
By wtadlock - 5 Years Ago
Has anyone figured out about the aging of the characters in this pack?  The sole reason I purchased this pack was to to be able to create older looking toons.  I really don't want to have to purchase another pack from Daz 3d to accomplish this.

Thanks,

Walter

Have you been able to figure it out?
By wtadlock - 5 Years Ago
@j-wag

I have not been able to figure it out, no.  I also have not spent a lot of time trying to figure it out either.  I have been working on other aspects of the project I am currently working on.

These look great Kelly but how do they look in iClone when ported across? Plus I have no idea how to do it at this time but I feel I must look into it.

Doesn't make sense to me ? Blink
This pack is simply not designed to be used for older toon characters.
I don't have this pack, but let's take another toon like e.g. this one  (or that):
https://forum.reallusion.com/uploads/images/d6d03cb8-fb96-48e0-b145-971e.jpg

If you only change the texture with a skin of an older character, it will still not look old, but ugly.

Instead, you need to change additional features of the face and of the body to make them look really old:
https://forum.reallusion.com/uploads/images/00b9e1b3-cb02-4745-a2ad-0ae7.jpg

As long as you don't have these additional morphs in the pack, there is no chance to make it believable.

But nonetheless, you could do this with the age dial in tha pack recommended by Kelleytoons, or in the other TG2 bundle (as I did) for Genesis 3: LINK

Hi, I have iClone 7, CC3 Pipeline and HeadShot. 
I will be buying Cartoon Character Designer Bundle. 
My question is after creating avatar in CC3 and exporting to iClone 7, will I be able to 'lip sync' and make the avatar talk? 
I have yet to find the answer. 
Thank you in advance for your response.

Yes any character you create in CC3 can be fully animated in iClone including having the character talk by using your microphone, audio file or text to speech. Smile

Hi,
I'm recently new to the iClone - CC world and I purchased the Cartoon Character Designer set...  I've made the character and applied the Curly Pony tail Sping A asset.. I then export body & hair - send to iClone from CC, but the hair does not move with any motion file applied to the character.
I found under the modify panel in iClone, the sping section and clicked on activate, but what does it activate as it doesn't seem to be specific to the hair... also nothing happens when I play the animation.

Is there no tutorial for setting up the hair for these types of cartoon chatacters..the presentation video is great but no explaination.

Any help would be much appreciated just to get something to look and move as in the Cartoon Character Designer promo video..
Thanks in advance

I've just read through this tutorial:
https://manual.reallusion.com/iClone_6/ENU/Pro_6.0/09_MotionPlus/Body_Motions_Accessory_Animation.htm


I'm not convinced that the Cartoon Character Designer Toon Hair spring effects are working. Everything I did up to step 7, and stil no spring in the hair..
Please, where am I going wrong.. I can't be that difficult surely.
Thanks

Do you have to purchase this pack to make toons? Or can it be done with the CC3 Pipeline?

This pack contains a lot of toon characters to get started and the morphs to create your own. It is possible to create toon type characters without this pack but you will find it much easier with these toon specific morphs.
