thank you for this tutorial, I've been trying to integrate cc4 into ue5 and als4 for a while, there's still a problem with the legs (which are too bent), I think it's an IK problem, maybe a distance between pelvis and ik foot, but I don't know how to fix this, if anyone has an idea? :)

@jcmgstudio Год назад

How come the export function from CC4 won't work the way we want? Is there missing rig information which would require an export from iclone? Would AccuRig compensate for this?

@JonathanWinbush Год назад

You have to use the updated cc4 unreal plugin to do it now

I have characters in a T-pose in Cinema 4d, will they work, or do i have to put them in an A pose? If so, then how do i do that in Cinema 4d?

@JonathanWinbush 2 года назад

This is just for character creator. For cinema 4D you'd have to manually rig everything since it's not using a Unreal skeleton system. I show how to do it here using Mixamo ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Komsb3itAIo.html There is also a plugin on the Epic Games marketplace that retargets Mixamo skeletons for you which can be useful

@thebrian4175 2 года назад

I so needed this. Thank you. Added question though. I ultimately want to use the ALS v4 locomotion. Do you recommend a workflow to set up the character for ALS? Or does the UE5 retarget to U4 update the characters skeleton & IK rig so it's directly compatible with ALS?

I'm not familiar with ALS is that a plugin?

@griffithpictures 2 года назад

I would love to see the next steps in this. It seems the Holy Grail in this using custom characters in Unreal is recording “gameplay” of your character running around (check), but also firing weapons (this is the hard part). Whenever I record in take recorder, no matter what 3rd person shooter template I start with, I end up with a recording but with no gun and the muzzle flash coming out of my crotch. Have you cracked the code on this one? It would be a great follow up on this tutorial.

@JonathanWinbush 2 года назад

I've never done any weapons before to be honest since I mainly use Unreal for rendering the most I do is bring a character in to run around in my scenes but I'm not much into creating an actual game.

@griffithpictures 2 года назад

@@JonathanWinbush yeah same here… but surely there is potential in”animation though gameplay.” So you can animate big crowd scenes without having to keyframe each character. I’ve had luck with jets… and can show you some tests. But I know the characters are a different story because of spawned weapons and what not. Well I’ll keep you posted then.

Maybe you can help do i need to buy both software to use it in ue5? what I am looking for is a software that I can import my character from ue5 and my clothes that I bought and make them fit right will this software do this? hope you can help been asking around no one knows

@JonathanWinbush Год назад

Character Creator is for making your person then iclone is for animation. Both have trials you and tryout I think for like 30 days to get a feel if it works for you or not.

@JonathanWinbush Год назад

@solerebelsoul Год назад

You can port from Daz3D into character Creator. Alternatively, port directly from Daz into Unreal. I haven't tried it yet, but you should be able to setup IK retargeting the same way.

@nickkaverin 2 года назад

If the character is not from CC4 it won't work? My character has A-pose but I get an error like something wrong with hierarchy :(

@JonathanWinbush 2 года назад

This is specific to cc4 because reallusion uses the unreal skeleton. You'd have to do it manually if your not using a ue skeleton

@ChuckstaGaming 10 месяцев назад

You don't need to use Iclone8 in the transferring of the CC4 model to UE. Or was that a requirement a year ago, and they fixed it now? I'm currently looking into buying CC4, especially as they have a nice juicy sale on at the moment. I might buy Iclone8, but not too sure. I use Blender for making animation.

@JonathanWinbush 10 месяцев назад

I think with the latest verison you can just use CC4 but I haven't tried in awhile I've been just using UEFN for game building lately which just uses your Fortnite character

@JonathanWinbush 2 года назад

I've not had that happen but you could always manually go in an look at the material maybe a node isn't linked

@nickkaverin 2 года назад

@@JonathanWinbush I've solved it. 1. Install CC4/iClone Auto Setup for UE5(it's free) 2. When you import FBX file you will have an option to choose shader(choose HQ shader) 3. Don't attach any skeleton 4. Not sure about "Update Ref pose" but doesn't rly matter. There is a complicated material with 999 textures and nodes so I think it's really important to get all the materials from the beginning. And then we can import again and attach skeleton. *Maybe it'll be useful for somebody Btw, after we attached the skeleton and retarget it, it doesn't look really good especially in Idle pose + fingers look bad. Do we have to fix it manually?
