Character Creator V3 WIP videos

Realillusion has posted two work in progress videos and details for the upcoming version of its human generator tool Character Creator. Starting with Version 3 Character Creator will be offered as a separate standalone product from iClone. Recent improvements include:

• Updated quad-based topology for character bases to make it easier for further editing
• Improved mesh and texture details for hands and feet.
• Optimized skin-weighting for naturalistic bending of the joints. 
• The ability to round trip a mesh to ZBrush for manual editing and the ability to add face and body morphs
• Auto skin waiting for clothes.
• The ability to refine the weighting of auto-skinned cloth.
• An optimised game character base that can be derived from any standard character creator mesh.
• A simplified bone structure for game engine compatibility that results in a fully rigged 10k polygon character.
• The ability to bake all of a characters materials into one texture to minimise draw calls for real-time applications. 
• Built-in mesh optimisation using InstaLOD
• Much more. 

Character Creator 3 is expected to be released September 2018. It is available for preorder now at discounted prices starting from $129.00 (normal price is $199.00).
