GEvolver will be a special iClone version of the Evolver avatars converted to iClone standard characters with interchangable uppers, lowers, shoes and a G4 Head.

More information on how these will be implemented into iClone will be coming very soon. :)

Hi Pau,

Just as a matter of interest how did you know about the GEvolver website?

I ask because to the best of my knowledge this hasn't officially launched yet and may not be fully working. I will check this later but in the meantime I would advise caution in spending your points there until confirmation that the service is live.

There are a few little inconvienient things yet, so better wait till RL releases the website. The avatars can be exchanged with g3 bodyparts but not connect yet. They speak very well but you cannot exchange the head.

The caracters use less space then g2 or g3 characters because all most the whole clothing is painted on the body inclusive the shoes. There is only one texture also. So it is a whole different character then G2 or G3. I think G3 have clothes with more detail.

The picture shows the poly counts as a guide so they are not to high as Wil stated.

Im not saying the price is wrong just not cheap, the faces you can create with this are so much better than Iclone can do, but I would like it within Iclone not external and costly, I need to do the maths, I can buy a program for £400 that will do this, and more thats 20 avatars from this site ..... ummmmmmm you see what I mean.. I like this but its not a long term solution and I think it could kill developing character development within Iclone...

The official launch of the GEvolver service will be very soon now. As soon as it is launched I'll update this thread and let you all know. It shouldn't be long now. :)

Non-Standard avatars will also be available soon and are slightly cheaper (1300 points). The final touches are being put togther for these avatars so they may not be quite ready as you read this.

*** As a special launch promotion you can buy two and get another absolutely free. ***

Just to clarify this. It is buy 2 get 1 free.

There is currently no fixed date for when the promotion will end but I wouldn't leave it too long. ;)

Hi.. Non-Standard characters have no interchangable parts and can't do facial animation. They are just one complete mesh but they can be fully animated with all motion files.

One question for you Peter are Reallusion going to do just a Head Option. As there seems to be some very good head models that could be created and the head interchange with G3/G4Head Characters seems to be the best fitting. Also may be a cheaper option to buy and make the existing G3/G4Head Characters a little bit more unique.

Just a thought.

Hi BM,

When you make your purchases you will only be charged 4000 points for the 3 avatars so you should still be able to purchase if your balance is 4000 points.

I think because of initial demand it may be taking longer to receive all avatars. This should get better in a couple of days. Please let us know if you still haven't received all your avatars within 24 hours.

With regards to the size issue when transported to iClone. I will check this with the GEvolver team and see if this is a known issue or a bug. I'll post more information when I get it.

Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. :)

Hi Duchess,

The iClone Avatar Builder uses Evolver technology to create the avatars rather than Reallusion's own software. Currently Evolver use a single avatar system with the head and body combined with a single texture map.  This means that at the moment a head creator alone using this system is not really possible. I will pass on your suggestions to the product team though. It may be possible to implement something similar in the future.

Also another suggestion while on.

If the head option does not materalize please oh please ask them to do something about the shoes. I would sooner have my characters barefoot.:D

It is said in the DEMO Video that GEvolver characters can exchange G4 heads so I assume you can import GEvolver character into iClone, save and use its head on another iClone Character?

Did I miss something? 

This is becoming quite interesting :) !!!

Thanks.  

I quite agree Duchess. The shoes are the weak point of the GEvolver avatars. Thankfully you can switch them to standard G3 shoes which makes all the difference.

Hopefully the guys at Evolver can improve on these in the future.

Hi BB,

My point was that on the Evolver side, the avatar is supplied as a single .iAvatar file with a single texture for head and body. As the Avatar Builder is powered by Evolver technology it would require a change at their end to supply heads only.

You are correct that you can put a GEvolver head on an iClone avatar but the texture for it remains part of the full body map which does cause color issues. To get the color just right you will need to do a little editing of the texture.

More information can be found in the Avatar Builder online guide which you can find HERE.
