*softly sings to her*
In the silence of the darkness, when all are fast asleep
I live inside a dream, calling to your spirit
As a sail calls the wind, hear the angels sing
Far beyond the sun, across the western sky
Reach to the blackness, find a silver line
In a voice I whisper, a candle in the night
We'll carry all our dreams on a single beam of lightClose your eyes, look into the dream
Winds of change will winds of fortune bringFly away to a rainbow in the sky
Gold is at the end for each of us to find
There the road begins where another one will end
Here the four winds know who will break
and who will bendAll to be the master of the wind
Falling stars now light my way, my life was written on the wind
Clouds above, clouds below, high ascend the dreams within
When the wind fills the sky, the clouds will move aside
And there will be the road to all our dreams
And for any day that stings, two better days it brings
Nothing is as bad as it seemsClose your eyes, look into the dream
Winds of change will winds of fortune bringFly away to a rainbow in the sky
Gold is at the end for each of us to find
There the road begins where another one will end
Here the four winds know who will break
and who will bendAll to be the master of the wind
*Fly sweet AnjaBear...Fly*
Read above.....if you had NO previous installs of any reallusion products then you must have done something in the installation, or, the versions of products you acquired were not compatible together.
Again...I have a full install of Iclone 8, CC4, Headshot 2.01, and Skingen, all working updated to the current version pictured above.
Hello,
If your still seeing this "Setup did not find the Character Creator on your computer", then you haven't removed everything. I have installed these 2 programs (IClone 8 and CC4) arouond 10 different times using different versions found from all over the net.
First instance, the only way to fix this was to wipe the drive completely. Once I KNEW it could be fixed I scoured the drives and registry for any reference to Reallusion (Icone, Character Creator, Headshot, Skingen), as the installers place things in several areas.
C:\Program Files\Reallusion
C:\Program Files\Reallusion\Character Creator 4
C:\Program Files\Reallusion\iClone 8
C:\ProgramData\Reallusion
C:\Users\@#$%&^$%\AppData\Local\iClone
C:\Users\@#$%&^$%\AppData\Local\Reallusion
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Reallusion
D:\Installed Content\Reallusion <--- where I put all Asset installsIf you do not uninstall Headshot and Skingen before changing the registry you may encounter the "Previous version found, setup is closing" error.
Watermarked assets: (working or non-working) depends on where you get it. Good thing is they aren't installers, and content is just copied to correct locations. If it is watermarked, delete newly copied content folders and try a different version of the pack from a different source. Simple. If you can't find a working asset non watermarked, get over it, you didn't need it. Move on.
Now, I have retained my workflow for this (all programs, all working plugins, and working asset packs. I have rewritten the Install instructions from all sources and compiled my own procedure, and I will make this avail if the request is high enough. Just know it's huge. My tested installed asset data ATM is at 56gb (installed working assets, not counting the 15gb or so starting program setups.), and I have some 282gb of still to be tested assets. If you follow instructions verbatim, you should have no problem installing working copies.
If I do this upon enough requests, and you take the time to download all this, and STILL can't manage to get it to work, I'm sorry, and take no responsibility, I did my best to help you. It works fine for me. If this interests you PM me.
Your quite welcome my friend and I invite you to pick my brain and skill set for any questions or trouble you may encounter in the future. At this time my career is over as I am no longer able to work. So I spend the time I have been given to play around and help where ever I can. In the end we all want to feel like life has meaning, to change the world. For me, I don't need to change the world. But if I can help change just one persons world, then my job here is fulfilled and I'm happy. Even if it's just making someone smile.
Thank you for everything and be well,
SoulOk...here we go.
After all testing using various pipelines, I found no way to convert your Fxb file to a CC3 or CC3+ standard base model system. The problem is this. CC3 and CC3+ are Reallusion's standard *base* models, with specific UV mapping, bone rigs (including number of bones), and poly count. So to fully utilize CC4 and or iClone's new features (ie. Wrinkle System and SkinGen), they need to be in CC3 or CC3+ form. Your character loaded with no errors (as is, not converted), and detected the 3dsmax_biped bone rig. But, attempting to run a CC4 standard *motion* animation, broke the rig, because it all had to be re-targeted. Mixamo motions resulted in the same breakage. The only successful conversions to CC3 and CC3+, were to the above mentioned *standardized* model assets from DAZ/Poser. This is why they created the "Transform" option.
But why is this? Because they were smart enough to know by opening a Creator Marketplace they would increase their revenue. Best option? Make it easy for the largest set of 3rd Party "Standard* Assets to be converted to "their" standard model system and still remain proprietary. And the DAZ/Poser community provided this avenue because there are huge amounts of content created from a few base standardized model rigs (ie. Genesis-9, Micheal 4, Victoria 4). But not all of the older standard models are included, such as Hiro and Aiko.
Future updates may expand on this to include a broader spectrum. But at this time, I only found DAZ/Poser models could be converted.
Thank you for the points but not necessary, just glad to help. Pls PM a link to your fxb file and i'll see what I can do for you. Have immunity therapy today so I won't see it until tonight.

Learned from several different attempts.
Transformer
***Character Creator provides a Transformer feature that are able to import FBX character
files from Daz 3D or Hivewire 3D; This can greatly expand your collection of characters***Compatible Characters for conversion.
Genesis 1 (G1) Characters - to CC3 Base only
Genesis 2 (G2) Male and Genesis 2 (G2) Female - to CC3 Base only
Genesis 3 (G3) Male and Genesis 3 (G3) Female - to CC3 Base and CC3 Base+
Genesis 8 (G8) Male and Genesis 8 (G8) Female - to CC3 Base and CC3 Base+
Victoria 4 (V4) and Michael 4 (M4) from DAZ or Poser - to CC3 Base only
Hivewire Dawn and Dusk - to CC3 Base only**Only DAZ G3 and G8 characters are compatible for converting to CC3 Base+ characters.
All other .Fbx files need to be imported or drag n dropped into CC4.
Well done to all involved!! Awesome effort in organization and very creative entries. Big thank you to all who participated!
*A moment of Silence for @Phakalane*
Thank you guys for sharing this. I understand this most wholeheartedly as I fight my own battle with mortality. But I know @Phakalane would agree, that in the meaning of life there is but one simple simple question to be answered. It is not, why are we here? But, how do you choose to live this extraordinary gift. We are incredibly remarkable creatures, yet prone to our imperfections in an imperfect existence. This is what makes us human. To strive, overcome, and move on to the next challenge.
Attitude and mindset are everything. Love those around you and listen with compassion. Life is constantly speaking. Will you choose to hear it?
