The Content Store and Marketplace has a huge and varied library of content but what have we missed?
To better understand what our customers need, please let Reallusion and our fantastic community of developers know exactly what you want to see in the stores. Whatever you need, be it specific character types, props, costumes or motions, let us know and hopefully between us we can make it happen for you!
I’d definitely love to see TEARS. Yes, plain old tears that stream down the character’s face, and can also have colour adjusted to look like some violent gore or something.
As it currently stands, i have to overlay a tears video on top of a character’s face. The terrible thing about this approach is that the character needs to directly face the camera, and not move while the tears stream down his face.
What we need is a tears system, that can have those tears streaming down the character’s face, following curvature, wrinkles and all.
I saw something in the marketplace, which im not sure can do all this, and i wanted to try out but its not available for purchase unfortunately Trauma Crying Time
Update1: At the time of my original post, Trauma Crying Time’s ‘Buy’ button was greyed out, its ok now. I will proceed to purchase. If it doesnt work to my liking, then i’ll be back to add an update.
Update2: Purchased, downloaded. It works in iClone8. I must point out that i found it a bit tricky to use as it was made for iClone7 and there are now slight differences in the way it works. The tutorial has not been updated to relay the changes, so its highly likely that iClone8 newbies struggle to use it. But long story short, it works.
I would love another beard pack. I really like the existing one, it’s a perfect combination of low poly (easy and fast to work with) and high quality look.
However, I always find it hard to make enough distinct type of beards.
Specifically what I think is missing is longer beards. There is a really long one but it kinda looks different than the other beard assets and it’s extreme. A lot of times I would like to use “mid-length” beards. The longest out of the other beards - besides the one already mentioned -, is pretty “short”.
Especially because I create a lot of medieval and fantasy characters and they look too modern with these beards. In some cases it fits but with other characters they look too frequently shaven.
And I know there are other beard assets but I really like the look and style of the official beard pack, it would be great to have a bit more variety in that style.
There are also a lot of Daz beard assets but I find it hard with most Daz hairs and beards to make them work in CC, they usually have some kind of displaying issue and are too high poly.
I would like to see any or some more motions (mocap) in these areas; some of these motion could be combined with “smart” props:
Climbing: up/down stairs (regular and spiral), (rope) ladders, ropes, rocks, walls, trees
Swimming and diving: variety of styles and speeds; getting in and out of the water (pools, from boats (e.g. SCUBA divers)); diving from things (spring boards, diving towers, rocks, piers); different competitive dives; “working” underwater (fixing things, welding); fighting in/under water; walking under water; wading into/out of water
Household chores: cooking (chopping vegetables; handling pots and pans; stirring, tasting food; barbecuing), cleaning actions (vacuuming; sweeping/dusting; doing dishes/laundry; tidying up things); yard work (mowing the lawn, weeding, digging, planting, pruning trees/bushes, raking grass/leaves)
Sports activities: bicycling, rowing, all kinds of ball games; track and field
Game activities: playing pool, chess
Dancing styles (that have, to my knowledge, not been covered yet), such as Rock ‘n’ Roll (motions for couples)
Hi, I’m new to iClone and CC4 and looking through the store it seems that there is a severe lack of ethnic diversity, with most available characters being white. I was searching for a mature african american female character and there are very few to choose from. It would be good to see more diversity in the content.
As far as I can see, there is relatively little choice available with regard to mature characters, no matter their ethnicity.
Presumably, what is being offered is also a reflection of the demand. If sellers don’t make money with certain types of characters, then they will not offer a large variety of them. Why would creators invest their time and effort in things that may not sell? Just for the sake of diversity?
That being said, you can always create your own characters or change existing ones to make them more suitable to you needs (e.g. age them). That does take more work, however, than just getting one “off the shelf”.
Hi Jiinzu and welcome. I am Alley of BBAlley and if you would provide some photos of exactly what you would like to see, we could possibly create these type of costumes. Please write alley@iclonealley.com with some images if you are interested. Thanks.
