Daz genesis 8.1 to Character Creator 4 to UnrealEngine 5 

Man so awesome what your doing on this channel!!! I started school for 3D art 8 months ago but soo much can be learned just from your channel. Thank you!!!

Thank goodness, I have been searching for this exact video for two weeks. I'm not trying to create footage just trying to sell rigged characters on the market. Not sure what making a rigged character is so difficult. Thank you for this info. You should really have a millions views and a million subscribers.

I've been a daz user for a very very long time. I've probably spent hundreds if not thousands since the original victoria model came out. Last week I downloaded the trials for cc4 and ic8. I knew I wanted both after I imported Aiko 8 into cc4 and saw the results. Cc is awesome and so fast! Good tutorial you made here. Thanks for the tips!

Love it, very well done!

Thanks for a great tutorial, very informative and picked up a lot of useful info. Really like the way you put these together, Well done.

Thank you for the excellent tutorial video, I was able to do it exactly as you showed and it helped me a lot to finally get it done. So far it's the best video I could find that includes all the steps. Thank you.❤️👍🥰

Your 3D product skills are dope, Sir!

This is superbly helpful as a recap of many of your longer tutorials. Quite good! I would like to see something about the Skin GEN plug-in and how you go about using that to improve the look of the Daz 8 character in UnReal 5. I own the plug-in and use it now and again, but I would appreciate your insights into how to use it for this purpose!

Great one 👍 Hot in the UK? Here too 😁

Thank goodness,

Thank you!

great video, thanks

Cool!

muito bom seu video e muito bem explicado

crazy how the layout changes in a few months.

Thank you for the great video, especially the last few minutes of how to make Daz characters look decent in the UE5 via CC4. I too would love to see even just a short video on how you would use SkinGen Premium for this. I think this Daz - CC4 - UE5 route might just be the most practical option for solo indie developers trying to achieve realistic-looking characters for now. MetaHuman head on Daz body could theoretically be better, but there are no perfect solution to accommodate any types of clothes yet. Such a shame, as MetaHuman really does have that 'wow' factor, but it's so face-centric.

Best skin temaplte is "use original" - as it will take the skin binding from DAZ instead of trying to do auto-rebind.

How do you set up collision capsules for clothing physics?

Daz3d skins can definitely be used and make look good we just need more time on CC to make it look good with skingen and later some tweaks on Unreal that's all. Also have you tried working on any armors from daz3d into unreal through cc yet ?? I am pretty much scratching my head to make it work without distorting the mesh !!

Dress would become much more dress like if you had selected Phyisic's and added the dress material as physic's, unless of course your using UE's cloth. I believe UE imports CC physic's

Why are there no tutorials anywhere for importing character creator 4 meshes back into Daz3D Studio? I'd love to do that with my HeadShot morphs to have in Daz3D Studio, but there's nothing anywhere. Is it possible? Please someone explain the theoretical process..... :(

why do you seperate the eyelashes? it ends up not becoming a conforming part of the characters eyes and theres no way you can reattach it in cc4. better to just keep it attached.

Is it possible to have directly to ue5

Looks like it's not working with morphs.Human daz characters only?It worked with a daz female but not an alien I tried the same process with.Any work around for morphed characters?

I’m having a problem…when I import my characters into ue5….they retain the A-pose…so when I drop the character into the scene…the looping animation includes the A-pose…very frustrating…🙁….oh and to be clear…I’m going directly from CC to unreal…I don’t use Daz….thanks

That is great. Thank you. Can I smooth body mesh more in CC, right? I just bought iclone and CC because of the Black Friday deal. I will use them mainly to animate Metahuman. But I would swap heads. Nothing can beat Metahuman face.

for you it is better to use character creator 4 jumping daz 3d?but if I would use a good skin for daz 3d, would it be the same? daz to ue5 directly? sorry, I am very new in this, cc is very expensive for me, and I'd like to know can I jump cc to ue 5

When I import my Genesis 8 character to Character Creator 4, it always closes when it gets to Generate Cloth Conform Data, i was wondering if you have ever experienced this error before?

I did not succeed, I blocked the import of realusion, ( failed to load character: no suitable setup profile found. ) Another thing different on my side, when he renamed the good one, I didn't have genesis 8 but pelvis, I still followed what he did, but no big deal but no big deal, I suspect it a little since I don't have the same export parameters in fbx, for example, I don't have the merge cloth option and I still haven't managed to do a clean export from daz to unreal, blocks it from retarging. On the other hand, I'm interested in converting daz's hair into a groom for unreal with Blender, are you going to do it soon?

nice! but how do you convert those hair into the groom via blender tho? 3:00

Yan you show us how to convert the hair to change to groom in Blender?

Hi! Very useful, thank you! Question - did I miss it, what is the purpose of first going to CC instead of going straight to Daz?

keep gettin this error when I import into ue5 Unhandled Exception: 0xe06d7363 crashes everytime

Lol, lost me at the beginning. I don't have an assets folder inside my reallusion folder.

Thank you so much for sharing this! If I may ask, is it better to use realusion assets (hair, clothes, poses) with unreal? are they better suited than daz store assets for the task? (better looking higher preforming etc)

I just wish Metahuman and DAZ were one. DAZ with all the clothes and characters and Metahuman for all the rigging and ready too go characters. Metahuman doesn't do bodies yet and the clothes are soooooo limited.

Hair still meh... But lot better than DAZ made plugin or old CC3 method

Easier just to import G8 characters straight up..
