Issue 5242
Activate Appearance Editor grayed out
On CC3 default character the Appearance Editor is unavailable.
Is it a bug or is intended?

I wanted to add some freckles on my character but I can't find a way.

Thank you for contacting Reallusion.



Please make sure you have selected the actual CC1_Substance base. There are also CC1 morphs of the CC3 base that can trip you up.





The 4K Appearance Editor will ship in CC3P 3.1. It should be ready this summer. The reason it's taking some time, is that it is being re-written for more power and easier use.



There is a good workaround for the time being. Load a CC1 base from the nude bases provided, and you can use the Appearance Editor on it. Unload the Appearance Editor when you are done, and then you can convert the base to CC3 base in the Modify panel if you wish. Or you can use it as a CC1 base. Both will work.



You can also save the skin you create and apply it to any other avatar.



You can find the CC1 bases at:

Avatar-Base-CC1Base_ Substance. (see picture)





Please feel free to let us know if you have any further questions.



Best Regards

Rampa

It looks like at the moment the editor is only available for CC1 avatars. The CC3 version will probably be released soon, but in the meantime you can find the old CC1 characters in the legacy folder

Unable to Activate the Appearance Editor to add Decal, Scar, Tattoos to the new Essential Skin and Morph Pack for CC3 Pipeline. No Manual Available. How do I use this feature.

As someone who has just purchased CC3 Pipeline, how do I create a CC1 character so that I can edit its appearance?
