Looks promising, the the biggest issue is, the lighting in the photos is all baked in the texture. A secondary issue is, the resolution of details filled by your AI is pretty low, so you get tons of details on the face, but the forehead becomes very blurry in comparison. Look forward to more improvements. Kudos!
@@OnyxLee You can remove the lighting info in the textures in Photoshop. After that you can derive the bump/normal and SSS maps from the cleaned diffuse map., then use those as a guide to add further detail - including any detail missed by the AI. All it takes is 5-10 mins depending on how fast or accurate you want to work.
I'm having a problem adjusting the seem of the mouth to be right at the middle of the two lips... It doesn't work correctly for all images and I tried to adjust it with the headshot sliders and masks... But the seem of where the upper lip and bottom lip meet is not placed correctly in relation to the photo (It really depends on the photo).
Kind of fascinating how imperfections and asymmetry are what truly bring these 3D renders to life. What we try so hard to get rid of and hide is what makes representations of us stunning.
now we need a tutorial on how to make hair look as great as in this demo. mine came out like a melted turd on the guy's head. Quality of the face is great and feels like an amazing step forward. Hair is a problem though.
I agree too! Dear Reallusion, please make a tutorial on how to make good looking clothes like in this video, also tutorial on characters animation like in this video and rigging will be good too!
Hi, thanks for the feedback. we will take your advice into consideration! As for the animation tutorials, you can find a lot from iClone webpage. >> www.reallusion.com/iclone/tutorial.html
This is incredible if it really works. This would save so much time and effort on creating a realistic character. It's amazing how it even creates the eyes and mouth realistically with good rigs and animations! Proof that A.I. and automation is reshaping the future.
Okay.. This is a Major Step Forward.. I am very pleased as an Advancement with this product , but as others have said one of the biggest issues has been Hair for just about every product from every company. If you have even a great Character Replicator and the hair is wrong it can blow the whole thing. I used Head Shot today and got a pretty good outcome and even the hair was looking good but it did not do the complete hairstyle. It cut the outer edges off of a 1960s hairstyle which is almost like Slapping a person from that period.. or me for that matter.. You guys are doing great.. just PLEASE solve the hair issue and you will have many more new customers for sure..
Interesting result but you should add the profile pic option to get an even better result. Keep up the good work! I purchased the facial mocap solution, which is great, what Is needed next is facial hair and hair, something like fiber mesh or Xgen solution, then you’ll be unstoppable :)
You guys are awesome. Thanks for this AI powered plugin. My only issue with Reallusion as a Super Beginner is the lack of tutorials. THere are tons of TUTS for Maya
Hi @CosmicLloyd, Yes it works perfectly well with stylized characters: ruclips.net/video/zzV61N0U63o/видео.html You can also import a stylized character into CC and using Headshot 2 Mesh Workflow to generate a CC-compatible character: courses.reallusion.com/home/character-creator/pipelines-and-render/headshot
My question is: how can I customize my hair and beard? Is there an extension or tool that I can't find? For example, how can I create the hair and beard of the latest characters and change, if necessary, their size, color, etc ...?
@@reallusion the video is quite misleading. The generated hair has nothing to do with the high quality hair shown in the first shots. And in most of the cases the automatically generated hair geometry only is suitable for low quality models.
Hi there, I bought CC3 with the Pro version extension - BUT, I do not have one of the extras to enhance my skin to 4k nothing? Appearance Editor is grayed out?
Good question. The Appearance Editor is only for generation 1 CC characters. (CC1) So if you have a CC3 Base character, the feature will be greyed out. Don't worry, you are doing nothing wrong. :)
@@houstonhelicoptertours1006 Not sure how it's obvious. Many softwares can be plugged in to other software. Makehumans is a good example and it's also a standalone application
What's the difference between this or having Crazy Talk 8 pipeline and exporting RL head to Character Creator 3 editing it and sending back to iClone 7 something? I don't see a quality boost here.
Do you need other software to use it? Can it be used an export into software such as Hitfilm Pro 4, Blender, Lightwave 3D and in photo making software such as Affinity? Can you use it to create animals an other objects?
Very good, I would like to acquire it along with a course, I wanted to make a real speaking character, I wanted to create my character and make him speak, like sitting on a bench in a square or anywhere. what program of you could I do this? Grateful.
@@justshady Every step that gets removed from the artist is a step towards automation and eventually there wont be any steps for character artists. I love 3d modeling, sculpting, texturing and heck i don't mind even doing UV.s but for people that have been doing this for decades and have been studying anatomy, sculpting etc, this program is an insult. If u are for speeding up the workflow than you're for automation. The same thing happened to animators, nowadays most animations are mocap and animators only do animations for stuff that can't be mocaped or for stuff thats too difficult to mocap, additionally they animate stuff like hands, secondary animation etc.
dude its like saying photoshop takes the jobs of the artists back when it launched. Its only a better tool thats speeds up workflow and give more options stop being so stupidly negative I dislike comments like yours
@@tomeryud I didn't insult u, just because you're too blind to see that this is taking away previous skills is you're problem, and no it isn't like that it's like that taking a program that draws for u human character with a bunch of sliders instead of using skill and anatomy to draw it yourself.
@@TheIcemanModdeler These tools are made for the artist, not the client. Pixar isn't going to lay off its team for a program like this. Your next client isn't going to purchase this and try to save a few bucks.
seriously its really that good that i see in video or what ? i mean im really bad at face modeling im really bad at looking at people and make them this program can make every human face ?
I want to ask, whats the role and extent of the role that AI (artificial inteligence) plays in this (in the generation process)...? Could someone please more elaborate on this? Or is it just a marketing buzzord in this? (i dont want to sound mean! :-), just honestly curious)?
I have seen similar tech used years ago (creating 3d head from photos), but the user has to manually adjust the reference points (e.g the corner of the eyes, nose tip etc). Maybe they use AI to automate this process
We move our heads more quickly. That's why they still look like robots. We close our eyes and move our heads very quickly in random directions. They should try recreating that.
@Ray That only applies to AAA films or games. They have tons of money to spend so they hire top quality artists. But for lower level content with low budget who hires not so expert freelancers, this software is a threat.
@Ray Yeah. Its just same for me. I like to have hand crafted and fully customized content. But for a producer, it may vary depending on budget and target audience. Let say a low budget movie for kids where only 50% of quality is needed (assuming 100% is the highest quality level). They will surely go for such shortcut solutions if they know any. Morever, this software has one time fee licensing model. They could have monthly subscription based license model. This one time fee model motivates people the most lol. Producers will be like "Ok so we just need to pay like $300 one time and then we can create hundreds of character out of it? Cool"
hi there , please we need a new plug-in for generating a world or a terrain like (cities skylines) you are developed the characters now its time for change the terrains
So all of those years of discipline and sacrifice spent on building my skillset as a character modeler means nothing today. We’ve had the push button musician for a long time and now we have the push button artist. I swear core skills and foundational philosophies are going down the toilet. Learn zbrush for what? You’re an instant artist these days. It like “ learn to speak Japanese in 1 hour.”

Yes, but don't you forget about the stylized graphics, all sorts of trolls, goblins, animals, furries, anime and so on. There is still a lot of work that can only be done manually. At least for now...
