Hi Everyone,
With 2022 being an exciting year with the release of iClone and Character Creator 4, we would like to share with you a little more about our Content Store plans for 2022.
Along with the releases of iClone 8 and Character Creator 4, Reallusion will publish new types of add-on content packs in order to optimize and showcase the new features, including: Pedestrian Motion Pack and Speed Moves for Motion Director System, Lens Flare Pack, Expression Clip Library for IC8 and Expression Slider Library for CC4.
Character and Motion will become Reallusion's main content publishing focus in 2022. We will continue to publish high quality 3D scan assets of characters and outfits on a monthly basis. There will be more business people, casual people, construction workers, kids & teens and some glamorous urban professionals.
More studio mocap motions and handkey motions are coming, motions for construction sites, kids' adventure, lovers, buddies and sequels of classical cartoon motion.
We will continue to publish high-quality Smart Hair on a quarterly basis. More male hairstyles and African hairstyles will also be released in in the first half of 2022.
Feel free to share your comments.
**Note: Release dates and the final pack names are tentative and are subject to change.

Are there improvements for existing packages?
For example, new hair to be added to the hair creation package, etc.
What are "Expression Clip Library for IC8" and "Expression Slider Library for CC4"? Do you mean the sliders shown in the demo video?
Are these not included in the program?

Interesting.
Does this mean that fewer props will be developed directly by RL? What about trees, terrains, materials etc.?
@yepkoo
"Libraries" are almost always sold as extras, items shown in promo videos are not always included with the final release for various reasons and the videos contain a disclaimer regarding the interface, content and functions demonstrated.

Thank you for the update! Exciting to hear that there will be regular content releases from RL.

....... for Motion Director System,
Am I having a senior moment or did I simply miss something? I haven't heard about this. Tell me more!

I don't mean things like hair, clothes, animation, I know these are not program features.
I asked about the hair part, if there will be an update, just for information purposes.
I mean extended expressions.
I want to know if these are included
For example, I ask about things that say Extenden Level 140, 140 Blendshapes etc. in the promotional video, they seem to be included in the program.
If these are included, I don't mean the statements sold as extras.
I just want to know if what's shown in the promotional video is included
More than half of the introductory video introduces phrases that are the most important feature of the program.
Because if these are not included, I will have to find out if we should buy anything for skin color change as well :)

As far as I can gather this is a revamped and improved version of the old Director mode.

As I mentioned elsewhere, trees really need an update to fit with the overall improved visual quality. So some clarity on that would be most welcome.

I love RL products and will be purchasing many more packs already when my budget allows.
But it would be really nice to have something to start with.
It would be nice to know that at least the extended emoticons shown in the videos are included.

That's great, Peter: I specially asked for romantic moves and more from the keyframed cartoon motions.
I might mention that the Cartoon Moves become more suitable for realistic stories when slowed down.
There was early on some hint that the Toon Shader might be improved... any word on that?
Peter, does Reallusion consider iC8 and CC4 capable of most things needed for major studio animations?

I'd like to repeat my request for more varied and capable 3D "blocks" or primitives, either bundled with iClone or in the Content Store.

One of this package (speed move) would be given as a gift to former users who own 3DXChange and qualify for new programs.

Thanks! Pretty cool. Like animagic I was around for the old director mode. This one actually looks pretty useful. I like the walk around and idle in a zone function for npcs. I also tend to use the persona movement options quite often so....Yay!

Honestly I would say..no
the restrictive content licensing makes distribution of native format assets to remote members of your team problematic, to put it charitably.
No Character ragdoll physics
No internal Fluid dynamics system.
only a sprite type particle system ,not true 3D particles or true volumetric smoke not suitable for feature films IMHO.
Popcorn effects not supported in external render engine such as omniverse,Iray
Still not optimized for large crowds or even vast cities/landscapes.
Still not seeing any new announcements or animated samples of non Biped Critters running about like Dogs,Cats etc, in Iclone 8.
Iclone is a great option for independent users who can afford to buy all of the plugins you need to be really productive.
But frankly I see very little evidence that major animation studio would use Applications like Iclone,Daz studio,poser for a variety of production and asset related reasons.

We do encourage our content developers to continue create more props, accessories and scenes to fill up the line.

Hi Sungod
The schedule is for more male hairstyles during the first half of 2022 (not first quarter). You can see some of latest male hairstyles that have been added already by clicking the link below. More will be coming.
https://www.reallusion.com/ContentStore/index.html?MenuItem=cc_hair&platform=Windows&Nav=Top
EDIT: Actually I just found out we have a Universal Hairstyles pack coming hopefully next week which might be of interest to you.

I am happy for your update but when are you going to let us export ORM maps with Game Base? It is ridiculous that we cant have an ORM map to use in Unreal or for any application. As not any studio uses seventy materials and hundreds of textures for just one character when exported full high-rez. Studios making games and VR like ours and has invested a lot of money in your product need to optimize and this is why everyone uses game base and merging Uvs for one material. Please let us export ORM maps in game base.
Also please fix the opacity not being working with the diffuse map when exported in Game Base. When merged the eyelashes never work and a lot of manual work needs to happen. It is an easy fix please do it.
