Does anyone know when we will see the 2021 roadmap for Character Creator (and iClone)?
We're almost halfway through Q1 with no updates.

Roadmaps should be available late February, early March.

I would also like to know when iClone 7.9 is going to be released, with all the new facial animation features.

The roadmap should be available after the Character Creator 3.4 and iClone 7.9 updates are released. Sadly these have been delayed a little which has also delayed the roadmap.

The iClone 7.9 and Character Creator 3.4 updates have sadly been delayed a little and are now scheduled for late March.

Nice, late March isn't that far at all... is there already a list of what's coming with these updates?

You can see what's coming in the links below. The items marked CC 3.4 and iClone 7.9 are the upcoming main features and enhancements.

I am really looking forward to iClone 8, especially after those teasers that were dropped. But... It's 2021 and I am unable to find any mention of a roadmap that includes 3DXchange. (I've tried to thoroughly search the forums.) Peter (RL) (5/7/2019) The development teams have a 2019 roadmap which we have published on the forum for iClone and Character Creator. Sadly there are no imminent plans for a 64bit version of 3DXchange but rest assured that if a decision is made to develop a new version I will let everyone know. Does this mean that there is still no imminent plans for new version of 3DXchange, let alone a 64-bit version (to fix SketchUp issues)? Perhaps sometime after iClone 8 is released, work might start on 3DXchange 8...? :unsure: {fingers crossed}

There is a 4GB patch from years ago somebody created that gives 4GB of memory instead of the 2GB. I used it and it works.
You run the patch. Put the exe file in the box and click on button. Then you run your program (3DXChange, etc) .
Here is link to page 4GB Patch – NTCore

I appreciate the reply in the spirit of help it was given. However, I already knew about that. The reason I am hopeful for a newer, 64-bit version of 3DXChange is not due to a 2GB memory limit. One reason is because, currently, 3DXChange does not support SketchUp files newer than the 2016 version and fixing this requires a 64-bit version of the SketchUp SDK, which requires a 64-bit 3DXChange. (This is a problem because Trimble / 3DWarehouse stopped support of versions below 2017 and, with few exceptions, does not offer SketchUp models in older versions.)
There are other reasons to be hopeful for a new version of 3DXChange, though. Aside from being able to utilize more memory to bypass current issues with memory limits, I'm hopeful for support of more modern and popular 3D model formats. In particular, see the Possible future support of the .glTF model format topic that I started.
For that matter, I was extremely surprised to learn recently that Character Creator now supports direct uploading to Sketchfab through a software bridge (Sketchfab API). :w00t: Now that's a nicely modern feature! (See here for details: sketchfab.com/exporters/character-creator ) I just wish that 3DXChange had similar functionality through the Sketchfab API to download files directly. (Better yet would be if the Pipeline version also allowed direct uploading to Sketchfab.)
