What are CC Content Specifications?
Character Creator Content Specifications are icons designed for users to quickly and easily understand the specifications of every Character Creator content. The icon might include the following information:
- The definition of the content type
- The purpose and nature of the content
- The polygon or texture size of the content
- Where to save or load the content in Character Creator
Character Creator Components

CC Accessory is compliant to CC characters with proper scale design, allowing direct attachment to target character elements such as head, hands, torso, and legs. CC Accessories can move along with the character, eg. a hat on the head, a sword held in the hand, a necklace wrapped around the character's neck, etc. Soft or rigid-body physics behaviors can be assigned to specific items for natural and dynamic animation.
.iAcc and .ccAcc are identical in nature. However, to create accessories, use the .iAcc format instead of .ccAcc format.
|
 Support: v1.5 |
CC Shoes is the shoes mesh for CC Characters. CC Shoes can conform to different body shapes, therefore any CC Shoes can be applied to different shapes of body such as man and woman, skinny feet and full feet. It also defines the layering information to ensure proper multi-layer dress result.
With the Appearance Editor, users can modify and customize fabric, plaid, pattern and decal to create all kinds of textures for shoes.
|
 Support: v1.5 |

|
 Support: v1.2 |
CC character is a new type of iClone character generated with the Character Creator tool. The clothes, shoes, hair and accessories are saved as sub-nodes in the CC Character, allowing users to modify them individually in iClone.

|
 Support: v1.4 |
CC Project is the default project format for Character Creator. It defines all the character design parameters including: body & head morphs, skin substance, clothing meshes and clothing substance. CC projects can be exported as iAvatar, iCloth, iHair, iShoe, iEye, iTeeth and iAccessory for iClone.

In order for CC Avatar Preset to function properly, matching head and body morph sliders should be present in \Template\AvatarControl.
Avatar Presets do not come with matching eyes and teeth; please load these separately for the right fit. If the character's eyes do not come to a complete close when shut, one must check for a custom facial animation profile that should have been provided with the original content. Under most cases, dragging this 3dxFaceProfile onto the avatar will rectify problems with the upper/lower eyelid morph targets.
