A hundred bucks for G3 clonecloth for essential woman? it installs avatars of violet with 2 costumes each for the different design bases. BUT, I can't seem to find any of the design base patterns. This should make designing clothes easy, huh? Typical crap. WHY do I keep giving these people money. Every purchase come with aggravation, missing info, missing pieces and an obligatory post for help to the support forum. Why? Because Reallusion views its customers with sadistic indifference and the arrogance of programmers who think we owe them continued allegiance no matter how poorly they treat us. This is it. The last time. No more. You spend money and still have to go begging for help. All because Reallusion only cares about money, not their customers, not their deliverables. Just money, money, money.
And I've wasted the last I'm going to on them.

Hi there, Please see these tutorials that I did. The templates are there, but it is a bit confusing at first. Please take the time to follow the steps here and it should clear things up for you. http://www.cloneclips.com/video/610/Organizing-Your-CloneCloth--Tutorial http://www.cloneclips.com/video/611/Applying-your-iMaterial-Files-in-CloneCloth--Tutorial http://www.cloneclips.com/video/612/Creating-an-Outfit-in-CloneCloth-Part-1 Hang in there. :)

Alley I want to thank you again for these wonderful tutorials.
I knew G2 clone cloth inside and out but G3 is a struggle (STILL!)
Your tutorials are a big help!
Cathy :hehe:

Hi Blue, I understand how you feel but all the information is available on the product page for loading the design bases. Once you understand how iClone4 uses material libraries to apply textures it wil all become clearer. Have a quick read using the link below. You can find the instructions HERE.

Hi Alley,
I took a quick look at the first tutorial the other day and I really liked it. Excellent stuff!
Today I decided it was time to get down to it and create my first outfit with CloneCloth, but when I went to the Clone Clips site, I got a message saying, "This account has been suspended." I'm assuming they mean that the site itself is down for some reason. Bottom line: I can't watch these from that site.
Are they available anywhere else? Every link I follow seems to go back to CloneClips.

Well Ron, that's a surprise to me. :):P I've got the tutorials in flv format. I know that afterthought is going to make a widget for them at some point and this was a temporary link - I'll see if I can upload to youtube. I'll start with the one for making your own outfit with clone cloth and hopefully the format I have is compatible with youtube. Thank you for letting me know. I'll post back when I get it working.

I uploaded the flv I had but it failed - incompatible format for youtube, so I converted it in Adobe Media Converter to the highest quality I could and it's now uploaded. It's still processing, so the quality will improve. I'll get to them all eventually, but I think this is the one you wanted.

Thank you very much, Alley! That's the exact one I wanted to start with. I also saw it on YouTube, so something over there is working for you. :)
Have a wonderful day!

Thanks very much, Peter. I had missed the one on wrinkle maps.
And again, thanks to Alley for taking the time to explain all this in such clear terms.

thanks Alley for those excellent tutorials - very well explained!
I also was feeling rather disappointed with the G3 clonecloth, after not finding the default templates in the menus. I wish RL would stop changing the format of their packs!!
thanks again Alley, you are an asset to the community.

Tutor, I clicked on your suggested link and it appears to be an excellent tutorial but when I tried to follow it I couldn't get past the first step. (Apply a G3 CloneCloth Character (Slim & Sheath B)) I have iClone 4 Std. (latest) and I do not have Slim & Seath B anywhere that I can find. Also, I cannot find any "Wrinkle" .iMtl files anywhere on my hard drive. It sounds like there should be some included in the download but I sure can't find them, even with a search. This stuff is really exciting but also very frustrating when I cannot even follow the steps in a tutorial. Please get me going in the correct direction. Ted

Ted, Have you purchased the G3 Clone Cloth for Essential Man or Woman? This is an additional purchase over and above Iclone. This is where the wrinkle maps are and the particular clone cloth outfit you refer to as slim & sheath. http://www.reallusion.com/contentstore/csproduct.aspx?contentid=AIC320DIENU010620090630001&MenuItem=ic_avatar&Type=G3 http://www.reallusion.com/contentstore/csproduct.aspx?contentid=AIC320DIENU010620090526001&MenuItem=ic_avatar&Type=G3 However, the principles are all the same, even for default. Except you will have to make your own wrinkle maps.

OK, thanks Alley. That wasn't mentioned in the tutorial. iClone comes at you from so many different angles that is gets very confusing and then I watch tutorials for hours on end until my head is spinning. I'll look into your links. You are very helpful. Ted Just checked the links. Nice stuff but $100 is too steep until I learn this program. If I ever learn my way around so I can understand and do the basics offered in iClone I will then spend some money because it would be worth it. Right now I am just banging my head against a brick wall. I'm also trying to figure out the cameras and paths and etc.

Ted,
I know how you feel. I felt that way at the beginning (I've only been into iClone for a little over a year). If you haven't done so, I would suggest that you watch stuckon3d's introduction tutorials. There excellent at introducing you to the basics and once you get the headache is gone, then tackle clonecloth.
Just a suggestion!!!

That is a good suggestion and Yes, I have already watched the 3 introductory tuts that you refer to. All are very good, but I am a slow learner and will have to watch them again. Today I have been trying to get camera switch to work and am failing at that. I am following the tutorial but it acts like the standard version of iClone will not do camera switch. If I am wrong please tell me. If I am right, I wish at the beginning of the tut they would say if they are using the Pro version. That would certainly help in my confusion. Don't get me wrong. I am trying to offer constructive criticism, not just complain. I appreciate all the help and suggestions I am getting. Thank you very much.
