Hello, will it be possible to upgrade current characters to have the qualities that fresh cc5 characters has, or will it be CC5 characters exclusive?
I’m particularly interested in the facial animation improvements and the HD mesh.
Hi…
Yes you will be able to convert existing CC3+ characters to CC5 HD characters. You’ll also be able to load a CC5 HD Neutral Base and apply existing CC4 morphs and materials to create a new CC5 HD character.

Phenomenal! That is great news.
What about the Headshot plugin, i got both Headshot 1 and 2.
Do I need a Headshot 3 or will Headshot 1 or 2 work in CC5?
And if there is a Headshot 3, will it be better at face depth understanding thanks to some new tech or will it be like Headshot 2 only made for CC5?
Reason I’m asking is if its the same, I could get a head start in cc3+ and just port them to CC5 once its live.
Hi…
When CC5 releases Headshot 2 will be updated to be compatible. This will be a free update for existing owners of Headshot 2.
A new Headshot 3 is planned, but will not be releasing at the same time as Character Creator 5. This will follow at a later date.
Please Note: Headshot 1 will not be compatible with CC5.
Excellent!
What about UV maps? Will CC5 characters use the same CC3+ uv maps so its backwards compatible?

I don’t see any option to convert CC4 characters to CC5. How is this possible?
You just need to adjust the SubD level on the Modify Panel. Please see the instructions in the manual HERE.

Hello, I’m unable to see the free upgrade you talked about.
I only see the option to buy headshot 2 AGAIN for CC5…
What is going on?
Same, I don’t see headshot 2 upgrade from cc4 to cc5.
Also don’t have an upgrage for Zbrush Face tools and headshot 2 for CC5

There is new video explaining how to upgrade but I have an issue with using the new mesh it in Iclone. [https://youtu.be/Izt6hmVYyow]
I used a CC3 scan reality character and increased mesh to level 2 then sent to Iclone 8.6 which was fine but after ‘saving’ it then reloading later i received message to say " must have CC5 installed to use it " and that with CC5 up and running. I tried a few things like shutting down both and restarting but still not letting me use the new mesh in Iclone. Any thoughts before I submit a forma l Bug Report?
My sytem is MSI Laptop 32gb Ram 16gb Vram Win 11
This morning I booted my PC and Iclone - loaded the character I used in my first post and this time no problem ! No message asking to install CC5.
What I further discovered was that mesh was back to level 0 BUT that there is setting in mod panel for 'Smoothing" which brings up same sliders as in CC5 where you can change to level 1,3 or 3. I dont know if this is new but seems to me old CC3/CC4 characters can be upgraded in Iclone. Not necessary to do it in CC5 first which is what the training video suggests.
