The release of iClone G3 Character
base models will unleash your creativity in producing
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 (coming after 2009 Q1);
(4) G3 CloneBone Character; (5) G3 Character Max
Template. In the other hand, iClone G2
Characters have 9 typical body shapes with refined
bone structures, enhanced mesh and skin texture
resolution, better motion and posing quality.
In particular, CloneCloth Characters provide dual
layers of Cloth mesh: the skin layer and the cloth
layer. Simply modify the opacity texture with
any image editor and you can design as many different
clothing styles as you can imagine.

Max Template:
•
Male Nude
• Female Nude
* The two max files can
be accessed after your submission
of G3 Texture.
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:

not be included in your pack. Please

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:
