So will people choosing to upgrade from CC4 to CC5 get ActorMIXER PRO Plugin(Value $199) for free?
What I gathered from the preview video is that the Actor Mixer pro plugin is included in the pre-launch offer. So if you already have the pre-launch bonus for CC5 then you get the plugin.

Yes, they already updated the order history in the customer accounts to include Actor Mixer Pro.

Indeed, they did. I had to specifically look it up because I got my CC5 Coupon almost 3 months ago…
I like that they did that. However, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if some other goodies for CC5 also became available for purchase upon the launch of CC5.

I really hope that they don’t release only an Actor Mixer Pro Core Library and the rest will only be available as subscription, like the Accupose Core library. The naming here makes me nervous. I haven’t used the subscription in Accupose and don’t will. I will also not subscribe to Actor Mixer libraries.
Besides that it’s likely they will release content packs with additional morphs and assets, as usual.
How do I confirm the cc5 coupon? I blew a ton of cash when the original offer was available, but I have yet to see any cc5 coupon or anything else.
Please check here Reallusion member and enter Character Creator 5 + ActorMIXER PRO Plugin in the product name filter and it should show up.
Thanks, I do see that. Is that the “coupon” as mentioned above? The message I see when i click on the info icon says "The download button will be available once Character Creator 5 " So I guess I don’t have to do anything but wait i suppose.
Yes, that’s the coupon.
If you didn’t take advantage of the special CC5 pre-launch offer, then the normal upgrade prices are shown below.
Wait a minute…so your telling me that because I already own CC4 and was waiting until launch date to choose the upgrade option, I will have to pay extra for Actormixer? That’s not a very good move if you want customer’s loyalty - in fact I see it as greedy if you ask me. I think I’ll be looking to end my relationship with reallusion if that’s the case.
From what I can see, (and please tell me if I’m wrong) If I get the upgrade price of both CC5 and ActorMixer Pro the total is $378. If I buy the cheapest Pre-Launch offer of CC4 + Headshot that’s $399. That makes it more expensive plus I have Headshot 2. If I’ve missed something then I’m happy to stand corrected.
Why would you wait until launch date? Ever since I got into the Reallusion universe with iClone7, I have not paid for software updates (iC7 to iC8, CC3 to CC4) since they always came “free” with the purchase of content I was going to buy anyway. And I pretty much expect the same to be the case for iClone 9, whenever that rolls around.
That RL now also throws in ActorMixer Pro for free was not something I was anticipating when I got my CC5-bonus back in April of this year.
Over several weeks, Reallusion have been pretty much bending backwards trying to get people to make use of the free-CC5-with-purchase offer; if you decided not to, that is your choice. Of course, if you never purchase any other assets from the Content Store and thus could not qualify for this promotional deal, then that is a different matter.
One more thing: I was not aware of anything like ActorMixer Pro until the promo video dropped a few days ago. During the entire time CC5 has been promoted or discussed here in the forum, I don’t recall anybody ever mentioning anything about ActorMixer (Pro). So why do you now feel “cheated” or “treated unfairly”, if you don’t get something for free that you didn’t even know was coming out until a few days ago? So if you were ready to purchase CC5 on launch date, why does that not apply to ActorMixer Pro? As a CC4-upgrader, you do still get a discount of 50 bucks.
It shows $299 for me.
Anyway, I paid over $400 for content to get CC5 + Actor Mixer Pro. You can get them both for $299 if you decide to buy the bundle, even if you already own the software. Or wait until the release date and check out future bundles or sales.
I don’t really purchase any other assets, and already one all the plugin’s I need like headshot 2,Skingen, liveface etc…
Thanks for that. I’m a muppet, didn’t realize I was logged out when I checked the price - it’s $399 for new customers. Cheers!
No you don’t have to pay for ActorMixer which is included with CC5. ActorMixer Pro is a separate purchase which add extra features and expands the mixer options, much like how it was with SkinGen in CC4.
