contents. The base models can be divided into
five parts:
(1) G3 Standard base model;
(2) G3 Nude base model; (3) G3 CloneCloth base
model
(4) G3 CloneBone Character; (5) G3 Character Max
Template. In the other hand, iClone G2

The most significant difference between G1 and G2/G3 submission is that the .iAvatar files of G2/G3 base models will not be included in your pack. Please refer to Reallusion EULA for more info. In other words, if you want to sell a character as .iAvatar file, you need to transform the Max template into a different shape of character first. As to the submission type of G2/G3 Texture, your character must be disassembled into various kinds of textures like upper body, lower body, shoes, and skin. To clarify your submission process, follow the easy steps below:

The most significant difference
between G1 and G2/G3 submission is that
the VNS files of G2/G3 base models will
not be included in your pack. Please
refer to Reallusion EULA
for more info. In other words, if you
want to sell a character as VNS file,
you need to transform the Max template
into a different shape of character
first. As to the submission type of
G2/G3 Texture, your character must be
disassembled into various kinds of textures
like upper body, lower body, shoes,
and skin. To clarify your submission
process, follow the easy steps below:
Step
