CC Cloth can conform to different body shapes, therefore any CC Cloth can be applied to different body shapes for men and women, skinny people and heavy people. It also defines the layering information to ensure proper multi-layer dress results. With Appearance Editor, user can modify and customize fabrics, plaid, patterns and decals to create all kinds of clothes and shoes.

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:

  1. The definition of the content type
  2. The purpose and nature of the content
  3. The polygon or texture size of the content
  4. Where to save or load the content in Character Creator

Character Creator Components

All content formats listed below are open for development.

Post Character Creator 3

Character Creator 3 has introduced some new content formats that can also be sold in the Reallusion Content Store and Marketplace.

Cc3Character.png
Format: .ccAvatar
Support: v3.xx
CC Avatar is a 3D character format generated with Character Creator. Clothes, shoes, hair and accessories can all be part of the CC character as sub-nodes that can be modified individually in iClone and CC. Any CC Cloth, Hair and Accessories can be applied to any CC character due to congruent mesh and skin weighting while also compatible with iClone animation systems. This format is convertible to iAvatar, iCloth, iShoe, iEye, iTeeth, and Accessory for iClone and FBX for Unity, Unreal, Maya, 3ds Max, Blender, C4D and other 3D tools.Currently, there are three generations of Avatars: CC, CC3, CC3 Game Base. The three generations differ in topology and bone structure but they can all support CC clothes and hair.

Project cc.png
Format: .ccProject
Support: v3.xx
CC Project is the main container format for Character Creator. It can save entire sets of character parameters and environment settings such body/head morphs, skin substance materials, clothing, clothing substance materials, props, and lightroom's. ccProjects are convertible to iAvatar, iCloth, iHair, iShoe, iEye, iTeeth and iAccessory formats for iClone.

Users can access CC Projects in \Character Creator 3 Template\Project\, post installation.
CcAvatarPreset skinMorph.png
Format: .ccAvatarpreset
Support: v3.xx
CC Avatar Presets (Skin & Morph) contains character morph and texture data. It can be applied to the entire body or just to the head with the option to leave out either the morphs or the textures. Users will have the option to blend the diffuse map of the body to match that of the 3D Head AvatarPreset when applied. However, one would still need to manually adjust the other materials channels if the head and body materials do not match. 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.

CcLightroom.png
Format: .ccLightRoom
Support: v3.xx
Lightroom (aka Stage) is a new format introduced in Character Creator 3. It can save all non-character assets such as scene props, IBL, lighting, camera, LUT and Iray render settings.

Users can access CC Lightrooms in \Character Creator 3 Template\LightRoom\ subfolders, post installation.
IMdl.png
Format: .iMdl
Support: v3.xx
iMDL is a material definition library that is derived from Nvidia's MDL (Material Definition Language) which is used to define the characteristics of physically correct materials for Nvidia's Iray render engine. A clear distinction however, is that iMDL is a wrapper format for MDL data that can include a thumbnail image and material presets but is limited to one material per file, whereas iMDL can contain multiple materials within one file. iMDL can conveniently deploy onto a 3D character with textures scaled to fit.

iMDL files only take effect in the Iray renderer and are saved apart from the realtime PBR shader presets.

Users can access iMDLs in \Shared Templates\iMDL\ subfolders, post installation.
CcTeeth.png

CcEye.png
Format: .ccEyes
Support: v3.xx
CC Eye is responsible for keeping track of the scale, relative bone position, texture definition, Substance material, and Iray settings for the character's eyes.
