Too bad. A bad day for innovative developments!

RL has introduced a new series of restrictions on avatars to be imported into iClone.
Many items developed by me, under the brand APPARITION, have been made inoperative by the arbitrary restrictions imposed.
Other developers products as well are affected by the restriction!
Remember Hulk and the Xformers? THEY DO NOT WORK ANYMORE!
Remember the Mold-A-Hat, Non Penetrating hair by Apparition? Won't work anymore!
Remember the outstanding DressWizard beautiful products? THEY WON'T WORK anymore!
I don't think even my Stunt Doubles, ready to be released will be possible...
1 Year Work thrown to the garbage!.

Now, it becomes IMPOSSIBLE to create accessories which use skin modifier to provide non penetrating, bending, cloth conforming accessories. Not anymore!

Version 5.0 was fine! But RL took the measure of preventing clever skinned products from being loaded into iClone after that version!

Why did they do that? Because once in a while a user would incorrectly delete an accessory controller, like the Skirt Controller in DressWizard products, and such thing would create a crash.

The correct, STANDARD way to solve the problem was to enable a warning or rejection to delete the important objects, to preserve the product functionality and NOT to simply destroy backwards compatibility.

RL took the easy way for them, caring NOTHING for Developer efforts!

If you perceive certain anger in my post, it is TRUE! I am really disappointed with the changes done! I feel there will be many iClone users encountering problems with older products which were PERFECTLY functional with former iClone versions.

I do HOPE Reallusion will understand what they are doing and revert the meassures, substituting them by simple user warnings and not destructive locks which render many products useless!
