Nearly a year getting my characters to look exactly the way I want, and they just import to Unreal in a few clicks. "Saving a Ton of time" As someone else said, that's an understatement.

@visuart Год назад

yeah! awesome, looking forward to that following physics tutorial!

@JumboTTV Год назад

IMPORTANT IMPORT SETTING - 4:43 timestamp.. You also need to set the Material Import Method to Do Not Create Material and Import Textures to disabled. The Plugin imports and creates the materials correctly this way. If you don't change this (which was addressed in previous auto-setup tutorials) you'll notice issues with your mesh instances creating MaterialInstanceDynamic Material which is data only. Hopefully this helps anyone with the same issue, it took me a few hours to debug and I was lucky I'd backed up my project before upgrading the autosetup plugin.

@MadCoonGames 9 месяцев назад

I allways did this in UE4, but dont know if it applies correctly to UE5. Have been getting better results with the steps shown in the video, with virtual shadows maps (Beta) active. I know that in UE5 that option is no longer Beta, it impacts the quality of models so much, but it comes at a high cost resource wise.

Will there be an update to use CC4 characters with the UE5 Skeleton for the 3rd Person template?

I was also wondering this, and will they be compatible with the UE5 control rig? Or do they automatically have it once imported please?

@SimplifyUE Год назад

On your previous UE4 tutorial for autosetup we had "Do not create material" but here those settings were left alone, is this the correct new way? Many thanks.

@elvismorellidigitalvisuala6211 Год назад

I have no animation, UE Outpu log says: No smoothing group information was found in this FBX scene. Please make sure to enable the 'Export Smoothing Groups' option in the FBX Exporter plug-in before exporting the file. Even for tools that don't support smoothing groups, the FBX Exporter will generate appropriate smoothing data at export-time so that correct vertex normals can be inferred while importing. How to fix it?

@joshua42777 Год назад

@MADMOVIESINC 5 месяцев назад

Thanks a lot for this video. Question: I'm following these steps to the T. The textures get brought in, but the materials are blank still. The only difference is that I didn't have the option for HQ when I imported it. I did receive a bunch of messages while it imported that said, "Miss RLShader Date". Is there an option that I'm missing here, or is there another video that can show how to set up all of the materials? I'd prefer the former since there are so many that come with one of these models. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@MADMOVIESINC 5 месяцев назад

Solution: I didn't install the plugin correctly. I tried to copy the contents to the engine's folder so that I could install this at will in a project. This doesn't allow for the shaders folder to be placed in the project though. This seems like a bug that could be fixed. It would be way more convenient if a user doesn't have to keep copying files around when they try to use this method. After that though, everything came in great. The HQ option was available, no errors while importing, and all of the materials were created properly. Thanks again!

@MikeDKelley Год назад

This is nice but it would be even better if we saw how to take an entire scene in iClone 8 and move it to Unreal to render. So far all I've seen is moving assets as if you were building a game environment (which is fine but with the lagging of iClone's renderer doing it in some outside program seems the only feasible way for RL to compete nowadays).

@axelwilde1081 Год назад

With this auto update iClone and CC4 are light years ahead of the Daz Bridge. Sooo, I thought I would be smart and test to see if i could convert a daz character to CC3+ base and send through the Auto Updater. It was, ummm, painful, and I had very scary results. If anyone knows if it IS possible please let me know. Maybe I need to tick other boxes I wasn't aware of when exporting. Thought this might have been the answer to all my problems. POSTEDIT: Got this to work with Daz Characters, and all is working well.

With your import setup unreal create basic material for my character and not with your shaders. Before for CC3 we need to change material search for don't search and material import for do not create material. If I do this my character doesn't have any material. I use the last version of unreal engine 5 and the last version of your plugin.
