• Seamless Content Conversion & Flexible Content Application
• Combine selected materials
• Weld vertices
• Cloth hide mesh Tool
• New content format: AvatarPreset (updated; the best format to fast switch the whole character), iMaterialPlus, IES
• Feasibility to Create Characters for iClone Animation with Visual and Performance Balance
• Remeshed iAvatar export
• iAvatar export with texture size settings on individual objects
  *iCloner, do you know how to utilize InstaLOD, Game Base, and other features to create animation characters for different uses in scenes? We will show you soon!
• Game Pipeline Enhancement
• Enhanced FBX export options for Mesh, Motion, Mesh & Motion
• New material merge options for Game Base to keep good visual quality on eyelashes
• Custom features for Unreal Engine 4 and Unity
• Character Creator & iClone Auto Setup
• Compatibility: the auto-setup tools for UE4 and Unity will be officially compatible with Character Creator 3.1 and iClone 7.6
• Characters: automate the process of shader assignment, skeleton mapping, LOD deployment (CC3 only)
• Props: automate the process of shader assignment
• Mechanism of Update Notification:  once you update Character Creator to 3.1, and update iClone to 7.6 or any version above, an update notice will prompt upon program startup if there is a new release of the auto-setup tool.

There is much in your post to which I will look forward with pleasure. The“Headshot” plug-in and “re-meshed Iavatar export” are of particular interest for my continued use of CC3 with Iclone.

The Appearance Editor for CC3 avatars should have been available from launch and despite welcoming the additional advanced features you have showcased, the delay to Q1/2020 release is indeed a source of disappointment.

Like other forum “Olde Tymers” it`s difficult to accept the apparently diminished priority given to supporting the maintenance and development of the “in-house” functionality of RL products over the current extended focus on areas of game engine compatibility. I fully understand the commercial expediences behind such decisions but hope that the loyalty, patience and future purchases by your Iclone movie making customers will not be sacrificed in the process.

Thanks Miranda - It’s great to see the progress so far.Here’s my take on what you’ve shown (‘just general thoughts – not trying to bepicky)

Shader
Looking very good, although I feel that the eyes appear slightly ‘glassy’ andeyebrows a little flat (more ‘shadow/contrast/AO’ for the hairs maybe) The headalso seems quite polygonal in places – maybe for a HQ shader it would be coolto show it on a smoother model.

Wrinkles

Great to see this in action – I’m not sure if it’s youtubebuffering, but the effect doesn’t seem to be to pronounced – Can it be appliedto any part of a texture? i.e. I mainly see the effect on the forehead, not alot around the mouth/nose. What about hands (e.g. knuckles and between joints)

HD Skin generator

Really good – I like how this is going. If I’m right thereare controls for the skin features and these can then be exported as a seriesof mapped images for PBR. In photo SubSurface Scattering on the ears seems toextreme, either that or some-ones talking about him behind his back 😉
Oh yes – I’m hope this will work for different race and age as well.

Head creation.

Both the Man and woman’s head seem to not quite match thehead shape – i.e the man’s jawline from the front seems to be more narrow thanon the photo and the woman’s head has a longer nose to chin distance – small differences,but change the first impression a lot for me.

Also the woman’s nose doesn’t really match after editing – I’mwondering if there are suitable controls for changing the nostrils/nose shape?

Three more things I’m keen to see:

1. A ‘One Click Unity HDRP export…’ (when Unity take hdrpout of preview that is)
2. I posted before about making the skin around the eye move when looking around(I really feel this will help reduce the feeling of ‘looking lifeless’.
3. Smooth blending for joints, but when/with clothed
4. (I can’t count) – Improved lip/face syncing (performance capture)

I very much like how Reallusion is moving forwards with CC(and iClone). A good decision to focus upon making a custom character creationtool imo. If only all this could be made yesterday though lol.

Ramble over.

• The work in progress image was created in early June. We are still adjusting the shaders, and will mind the flaws you pointed out.

• The coverage of wrinkle maps is face and neck. Hands or joints are not included.
• The wrinkle maps will be exported along with FBX file, but the dynamic effect depends on the destination tools you are using. For example, there is a controller in UE4, and we will update our auto-setup tool to make it compatible.

• The concept for the Skin Generator is based on real human skin and makeup system, so it's suitable for people from different races and people in different ages.
• The character with skin textures created by Skin Generator can be exported to third party tools.

• It's a paid plug-in for CC.  The price and bundle deals will be announced later.
• While we set high standard on the result of auto-conversion, we will release some morph sliders for further tweak to get the best result.

• Joint Controlled Morphs (or JCM): we encountered a severe performance issue, and haven't found a solution at the moment.  We will keep you updated if there is any progress.
• Film Base: instead of providing subdivision mesh to present high definition muscle and body details, there will be an optimized character base comes with CC 3.3.  The main updates on this base will be eye enhancement to present realistic human, such as adding tear line and occlusion mesh.

• Joint Controlled Morphs (or JCM): we encountered a severe performance issue, and haven't found a solution at the moment.  We will keep you updated if there is any progress.

when will the add-on be available Headshot? Will it come with 3 character creator?
