Hello guys, 

(This topic is from the point of view of  someone that never use a modeling tool ) 
Do we know if reallusion is planning to made some modifications on the CC4 User Interface.
I purchase CC4 and Iclone 8  and after few weeks of usage I was able to determine that the interface is too heavy  and too many options on the screen.
We have all the time millions of options that we do not need at that moment, and some times I spend minutes to find a basic fonction because this one was insite another option .
For example,  we have 8 diffrent options to change the noze .
We should have a basic GUI  for fast modeling  ( like metahuman )
and if we what to have more option we switch to the advance or Pro options .
I love CC4 they have a lot of potention ( I spend morte than 800 Euros on plugins )  but for me is too time consuming to create a character , so for the moment I use another tool to create my characters.

I hope this modification / simplification is on the way .


Best Regards

I can only assume that you are referring to Morph sliders in your post, if not please feel free to enlighten me.

These sliders are what make Character Creator what it is, the best on the market when it comes to unlimited possibilities for creating a unique character. I just checked, and with the Morph packs that I purchased I have 42 separate controls just for the Nose. I don't think that Reallusion have any plans to reduce the quantity of Morph sliders available for their creative customers, at least not if they wish to keep them.

If you find the Morph selection panel too overwhelming you can turn off the visibility of all but the Morph group that you need.

Click on the "Show Sub-item" icon at the bottom left of the panel and this will empty the right side of the panel.

After that you can select the sub-item morphs that you require by just expanding the menu point and clicking on the group that wish to work with.

Quite wrong, there are creative artists here taking their CC characters to 3rd. party software to do additional sculpting. You can never have too many morph possibilities when creating original characters.

There is quite a lot of literature and online video material available to help you understand the human anatomy.
