Hm I see how it works now I tyhink... DARN I wish the G-evolver characters kept the body shape I set up in Evolver though because I'm really not the best at morphing characters yet and they morph so well and easily there and they have the shape I want... and then for me to go do it in iClone myself... is not quite the resulting shape I want. ... Trust me, I've tried.

I think something does not sound right in Peter's response?

It is said in the DEMO Video that GEvolver characters can exchange G4 heads so I assume you can import GEvolver character into iClone, save and use its head on another iClone Character?

Did I miss something? 

This is becoming quite interesting :) !!!

Thanks.  

Hi BB,

My point was that on the Evolver side, the avatar is supplied as a single .iAvatar file with a single texture for head and body. As the Avatar Builder is powered by Evolver technology it would require a change at their end to supply heads only.

You are correct that you can put a GEvolver head on an iClone avatar but the texture for it remains part of the full body map which does cause color issues. To get the color just right you will need to do a little editing of the texture.

More information can be found in the Avatar Builder online guide which you can find HERE.

If the head option does not materalize please oh please ask them to do something about the shoes. I would sooner have my characters barefoot.:D

I quite agree Duchess. The shoes are the weak point of the GEvolver avatars. Thankfully you can switch them to standard G3 shoes which makes all the difference.

Hopefully the guys at Evolver can improve on these in the future.

If I get what Peter meant correctly, I think he means that coming out of Evolver, you can't just export the heads alone. It has to be the heads with the body. It's the conversion to an iClone compatible format that allows us to save the heads separately.

Been having a good readup on all the new paperwork released.

One question for you Peter are Reallusion going to do just a Head Option. As there seems to be some very good head models that could be created and the head interchange with G3/G4Head Characters seems to be the best fitting. Also may be a cheaper option to buy and make the existing G3/G4Head Characters a little bit more unique.

Just a thought.

Hi Duchess,

The iClone Avatar Builder uses Evolver technology to create the avatars rather than Reallusion's own software. Currently Evolver use a single avatar system with the head and body combined with a single texture map.  This means that at the moment a head creator alone using this system is not really possible. I will pass on your suggestions to the product team though. It may be possible to implement something similar in the future.

Hi

with the offer buy 2 get 1 free can i buy 3 if i only have 4000 points or do i need 6000 then 2000 get refunded ?:)

Plus 1 of my characters has taken nearl 4hourrs and is still in progress is this normal , due to traffic and stuff , or is there a problem ?

cheers:)

Plus I have just looked at 2 of the characters iv created and the bodys are totally wrong, I created two plump bodies and ended up with two normal bodies .....:w00t:

Hi BM,

When you make your purchases you will only be charged 4000 points for the 3 avatars so you should still be able to purchase if your balance is 4000 points.

I think because of initial demand it may be taking longer to receive all avatars. This should get better in a couple of days. Please let us know if you still haven't received all your avatars within 24 hours.

With regards to the size issue when transported to iClone. I will check this with the GEvolver team and see if this is a known issue or a bug. I'll post more information when I get it.

Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. :)
