What's New in Character Creator v3.0 Pipeline ============================================= [Optimized Character Base] 01. Character Base is 100% quad mesh, ready for subdivisioning and mesh editing. Enhanced mesh and enhanced high-res texture detail for hands and feet. 02. Conversion of old characters to new generation characters. [Daz Studio to CC] 01. Transmit 3rd party characters from Daz Studio into CC for full morph and clothing support. Supported formats include: Daz Genesis 1, 2, 3, 8, Victoria 4, Michael 4 and Hivewire. 02. The clothing can be saved as individual elements and the character morph can be saved or blended with other morphs to generate and save a new design. [Content Creation Pipeline for Quality Production] 01. GoZ: New GoZ for roundtrip sculpting and painting process with ZBrush. 02. Clothes Auto Skinning: Import OBJ mesh as Cloth Assets, and apply Skin Weight Transfer from cloth templates or custom imported skin mesh. 03. Skin Weight Editor: Refine the auto-skinned cloth with a spectrum of weight editing tools. 04. Skin Calibration: Users can now view the skin weights under the skin weight Edit Mode. 05. Partial Conforming: Ability to define sub-mesh elements (or selected vertices) as hard mesh items, such like buckles, ammo pouches, or armor plates. 06. Advanced Mesh Editor: Ability to edit mesh in vertex, face, element, or brush push & pull select mode. 07. Edit Normals: Adjust object normals between hard and soft edges. 08. Polygon Reduction Powered by InstaLOD: Reduce the polygon count on clothes & accessory while retaining its original shape and UV data to maintain its original look while gaining significant performance improvements. 09. Auto bone alignment for the CC character base with different proportions. 10. Adjust Bones Tool. [Game Character Pipeline] 01.Convert CC characters to game-ready characters with unified or multiple UV maps. 02. Remesher Powere by InstaLOD: Simplifies character geometry and textures by reducing polygons and merging textures. This can be used to lighten the load on the system for large scenes with numerous characters. [Export Ability] 01. Export character in FBX and OBJ format. [Environment & Character Settings] 01. New Content Manager with new formats: iProp, iAtmosphere, iEffect, ccLightRoom, ccCam. 02. Global illumination: Approximated dynamic global illumination in image space (GI) 03. Pose editing and saving 04. Edit Facial tool includes symmetrical muscle selection, facial expression presets and detailed morph slider editing. [Image Render] 01. Real-time smooth: Open Subdiv can subdivide and smooth a mesh. 02. Built-in realtime renderer. System Requirements =================== DirectX 11 Minimum System Requirements: .

It does this by simulating real-world physical behaviors of light and materials. Iray implementation in iClone comes with a slew of easy-to-apply materials and do not require the user to have extensive knowledge of computer graphics techniques thanks to its auto-conversion features. Realistic Visuals with High-Performance . Automatic convert Character Creator (CC) PBR to Iray Shader ( MDL ). . Iray with AI is bringing the deep learning to both final frame and interactive photorealistic rendering. This unique capability coming to Iray will enable the completion of final images many times faster. . Physically based lighting and material. . Utilize GPU to speed up the rendering. MDL Material Exchange Support . The NVIDIA Material Definition Language (MDL) ives you the freedom to share physically based materials and lights between supporting applications.
