Reallusion have really super cool innovative products which I actually appreciate very much! Too bad I don’t want to buy and use them because of their massive online activation infested non-Linux supporting proprietary ecosystem.
I sure hope Blender or Blendernation/Blenderartists is making a lot of money off this aggressive and annoying ad campaign for Reallusion products. Didn’t we just have an article on a revolutionary character pipeline that was just an ad for Reallusion CC3? Which honestly, I was really unimpressed with Reallusion’s Character Creator during the trial (which I guess my trial is probably still active, I don’t think it’s been 30 days yet. Like I said, really unimpressive). I was expecting to like it a lot more, but the shaders were interesting to study, I guess.
Hi NANOGLYPH,
We appreciate your comments and we do value all Blender users. That is why we have a dedicated character pipeline solution for the Blender Community! We have also compiled a series of tutorials for users to achieve a lot with Character Creator, and more knowledgeable CC-Blender tutorials will be coming up. We look up to Blender users, and would like to invite all of you to join the contest and win prizes with Blender!

I find competitions like this annoying. Most people who put in the time learning their product and entering the contest get nothing. If you read the details the product is not free so the “free plugin” the ad now brandishes is misleading advertising. Bait and switch. They are treating us like chumps.
Blender already has nice lipsync tools already.
