Unreal Live Link Plug-in Tutorial - Transferring Reference Mesh from UE5 

I figured it out… thanks

It only works with iClone 8.1 version or above.

😞 Thanks

@PRED4T0R So you mean to say that the objective is to still transfer the character to UE5 and render there? This is already possible today, so I am trying to understand why would we bring the mesh to IC8 at all.

@PRED4T0R ok got it. I was under the impression that once we have everything in IC8 then its just rendering choice.

add a static mesh to your landscape in the details panel (the comment below

How to add static mesh?

Thank you for this tip, I was getting that message every time. However, I have another issue. When importing meshes from Unreal to Iclone they don't line up to previously imported landscape (even the landscape is way off from the origin x,y,z axis and grid lines when imported into Iclone) location like in this video. Additional meshes import way off from origin landscape, no where near how they are located in my Unreal scene, even though they all have the same coordinates 0.0.0. as the landscape I imported into IClone. Still learning Unreal and how all this works, and feel I'm missing a step in this process. Any suggestions?

@@vansphere9202 i have the exact same problem. Im not sure about that one.

@@heirapparent4802 So it's not just me then:) If figure something out on this I'll be sure to let you know.

@@vansphere9202 thank you. Please do.

@@heirapparent4802 I believe I figured it out. I was using an old landscape I built in Unreal awhile back that I thought was at 0,0,0 coordinate in Unreal, but it wasn't. I actually selected a different prop by accident in the world outliner that was. Selecting the landscape In Unreal, I changed the xyz coord to 0.0.0. which obviously repositioned my landscape and jacked up the previous composition of the scene, but that's okay it was just practice. Anyway this worked when I Tranferred to Iclone because it popped dead center in the view window on xyz axis and the grid. I was able to rotate it back into the correct position as viewed in Unreal. I'm sure there is a better way...maybe to keep an eye on the xyz coordinates when building my landscape in Unreal and making sure it stays at 0.0.0. Anyway, I didn't need to hit the F button to find it in Iclone is my point. Second, I imported a single mesh and change the pivot on it to bottom middle and then aligned it (checked x,yz in the align option button, leave everything else the same) to that landscape and it landed right in center of the landscape, thus I was able to move to it's reference position....as in the Unreal scene. The process would be the same for merge meshes...adjust the pivot and align. Again, I'm sure there is a better way these meshes can come in and pop in the location they located in Unreal (landscape oriented in Unreal to 0.0.0 right out the gate). But for now... I don't have to search for the landscape nor meshes off in space somewhere when they pop up in Iclone doing it this way. I can just put them in position quickly and get on with things since only few reference meshes is needed anyway based on where the camera will be placed in a the scene. Hope this helps.
