Free Assets for Animated Characters Our real-time blended dynamic wrinkles react to any facial expression and retain high-res detail even on lightweight 4K polygon characters. The General wrinkle system is a live solution that can be seamlessly applied to any CC3+ character.Meanwhile, the Individual wrinkle system is designed to optimize flattened textures for specific characters, particularly those created from 3D scans or sculpted in ZBrush.
. General & Individual Systems : Explore our wrinkle systems with our examples of "Neutral" and "Camila" in the General system, or check out "Kevin" and "Susan" as examples of the Individual system. Either way, getting to know these two systems can help you choose the right one for your next project.
Subtle Facial Nuances : Discover the power of dynamic wrinkles and look-at constraints with "Susan." Our demo project showcases the incredible subtlety of talking animations created with iClone and Character Creator.
Mesh-to-CC technology : As a fully-functional 3D character, Susan is perfect for facial mocap, puppetry, lip sync, and body animation. We licensed Susan's original scan model from TexturingXYZ and projected it onto a CC3+ character using Reallusion's revolutionary Mesh-to-CC Technology, resulting in a stunningly realistic virtual character.

This is great! 
Can you explain what you mean by “mesh-to-cc technology”?
Is that a feature of Character Creator 4.2?
Ie. “…projected it onto a CC3+ character using Reallusion's revolutionary Mesh-to-CC Technology”

I love the new features, wrinkles and an extended look at function. Reallusion is like a precious watch who keeps on ticking’…

Agreed, argus! I can't believe the sheer amount of work that must have gone into the Wrinkle feature. It's so so complicated. I'm sure there will be small issues etc, but I'm hoping the team get a big WELL DONE from the bosses today. :-)

it looks great. Congratulations to the Reallusion team. can we auto edit assets purchased from texturing xyz in cc4 ? Mesh-to-CC technology automatically turns these textures into human faces. Is this technology available in cc4.2 version ?

I've updated the software but my Expression Wrinkles folder is empty, Do I need to do something else? I don't have the new Characters with wrinkles applied either.

An update did not work on my side either... I re-installed and all works fine.
All your content will remain, it just will take the time for download and install, on my side about 10 minutes.
And you will have to update your characters and projects folders from free resource...

You need to install/update all the free resources to get the new content. So in Content Manager switch to Pack > Free Resources and make sure all the resource packs are either installed or updated.

I had to reinstall CC4, as wrinkles were not there and no updates for Free Resources were shown/available...
Maybe this happens when you don't have CC4 on C-Drive?
Anyway, everything works fine now...

Agreed -
But wait -there's more
According to the update release notes we now have profiles for importing Daz Victoria/Michael 4 figures and content. This is big for me as I have a heap of product languishing in my daz content library otherwise never to be used as absolutely hate daz studio to work with.
Big thanks reallusion !

These wrinkle items do not show up in my content manager and I have CC4. I see no update and there is no way to get CC4.2. My version still says CC4.12. Is this a hoax when it says new update in my email? It talks likes it's free to anyone who has CC4 but maybe you have to buy the wrinkle system and they aren't telling us that in the email. I have looked at the hub and there is no update available to me either. I have closed and reopened the hub and still no update.

A few days ago I update my software via hub . All good - wrinkles showing upa s expected.
TODAy I start up ic8 and cc4 - NO wrinkles !! Content Icons do not have the wrinkle symbol.
I checked via hub to confirm my products were updated to latest. They are.
I went to free resource pack and tried an update from there - result - Nothing to update.
Any suggestions as to what happened between closing down and launching programs today ?
One more question - the old lady seen in demo videos is she anextra character that comes with the update ?

I think I have the answer.
An update to the pack needs to be downloaded.
Go to free Resource/ characters / and left click on the icon. A panel opens advising the pack has been modified and you need to update.

You have to get the 4.2 update in the Reallusion Hub. So try logging out of your account in the Hub, restart your computer, and then log back into the Hub. Then choose Updates on the left hand side panel.

If you have followed all the advice given and the problem remains then sadly it is time to contact Technical Support (using the link below). They will be able to advise you further.

Mesh-to-CC technologywhat is this technology. it is mentioned in the post above. Does version 4.2 have this technology?
"Mesh to CC Technology" will be built into Headshot 2.0 (working title) as a paid upgrade. Mesh to CC Technology converts any human-like head mesh into a CC3+ character (much like Mesh to MetaHuman). This new tool is expected to launch in Q2/Q3 2023, and will be available to anyone who already owns CC4.

Peter, I'd like to ask you something about this. Is this technology going to turn head scans into automatic cc characters? For example. Will it automatically convert a head scan on its site into a CC character? If so, that's great news.

i was having some issues with my model's face that was created with Headshot (skin colors not matching). does your quote above about Headshot 2.0 suggest that my issue is a known one? basically my experience is that whenever the wrinkles are used, the skin color will pale in that area..
UPDATE: my issue went away after I activated the edit skin panel and then just hit apply again without making changes...

Thank you for the feedback and the help. It would have been interesting to see how this works, but it is not too much of an issue, These days I pretty much use Stable Diffusion to create my images anyway.
