@@MrMarniche Yes, rokoko support has confirmed my gloves are the original type - that aren’t compatible with the coil pro. So I have to send them to Denmark to be adjusted. Then they will send them back. Then they should work.

@@virtualfilmer Happy for you. Good to know. Quite a hassle but at least there is a solution 🤷‍♀

@@WillyCash69 happy to chat it through buddy if you need any advice. Email me at Toby at virtual filmer dot com

@@virtualfilmer Cool just emailed u !

@@Metarig 😂 It’s so tough. We all need to win the lottery and get Xsens - but it’s out of my budget unfortunately

@@RokokoMotion Hi! Oh that’s so interesting!! Yes I contacted support a couple days ago but haven’t heard back yet. But a user on discord said it was possible that I had an older glove. Let’s hope support sorts it out. I wish they had checked what gloves I have before sending me the coil. :( I purchased in 2021 and have been a regular purchasing customer since then.

@@virtualfilmer Hi Toby, great that you are in touch already. I'm confident they can sort it out quickly. We have attempted to reach out to all customers with this generation of gloves when we see the Coil order come in, but it sounds like it wasn't done here. Again, it only applies to a small % of gloves we have on the market, and we were caught by surprise by it after we started shipping and therefore have had to catch up a bit since. We apologize for the inconvenience. Looking forward to getting you up and running again and hearing your take. Thanks for being one of the early adopters of this tech. There's such masive potential to unlock in future software/firmware upgrades. Great to have you on the ride :)

@@ryanisanart oh no 😂 it might end up working, as I said in the video I might be doing something wrong. Hopefully will get resolved :)

Wooden surface interesting - no havent heard of that as a fix! The demo with Sam is on a tripod so I did that. Will try wood. :-) And yes did height yep - entered it manually yep

Yes! It doesn’t save me much time - it’s fine but it’s just transferring baked, pre-computed simulations. I really want my simulations to be “live” inside of Unreal. I was hoping the chaos cloth new process with 5.4 would be better.

@@virtualfilmer I've seen a live sync demo transferíng real time cloth to a player character so it definitely isn't limited to baked anim.

Okay, I haven’t seen that. “Live sync” in marvelous designer, on their original TH-cam, is shown to transfer only baked anims. So I’d love to see where you saw real time cloth transfer? Only realtime cloth transfer I’ve seen is via usd, then imported into ue5.4 but the data flow layers don’t work very well. Here's that process: th-cam.com/video/Nf6OUDoPCPs/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=MarvelousDesigner

@@virtualfilmer I'm sorry but I think you're right. The realtime character controlled demo I saw was using the USD workflow, not the livesync. It does look like the livesync is only for baked/cached sims. 😬

I’m working on it don’t worry! :) thanks for watching!

@@virtualfilmer im to waithing

This might help: virtualfilmer.com/iclone-face-animation-plugin/iclone-plugin-face-animation-importer-mha-head/

No, I tried and tried but it needs many cameras to be good, I think. And it just had so many bugs! I cancelled my cheap (relatively) multicam subscription because jt just never worked.

😂 so true

Metahumans have changed their bone setup since this tutorial - so I’m not sure, sorry :(

Then use the free version. It’s ftee.

Yeah I reckon maybe in another year they will improve it to a good cinematic quality. But for now it’s very rough, in my opinion :)

Try asking on the reallusion forum - the UE thread can be very helpful. forum.reallusion.com/484244/UE5-Reallusion--Tips-Tricks

@@virtualfilmer Thanks

Yep

Yes! It’s explained in detail on the main docs page but you have to scroll wayyyy down :) dev.epicgames.com/community/learning/tutorials/Mpze/unreal-engine-panel-cloth-editor-walkthrough-updates-5-4

@@virtualfilmer i followed that and created a graph i think is right but the terminal node keeps throwing errors

@ryanisanart I’m diving deep into it on the weekend. Yes I have errors too, I am going to start again and try to figure out what is going on.

@@virtualfilmer hey I was wondering if you ended up figuring this out? The handful of tutorials out there right now are still using the capsules for collision.

Check out the comments on the official documents - unfortunately it all doesnt work yet, but Epic knows (Tim has been reading the comments and has gone quiet so I assume they are trying to fix it)

You can transfer CC4 characters to Unreal using the existing Reallusion tools: unreal live link and cc auto setup. www.reallusion.com/iclone/live-link/unreal-engine/default.html

@@virtualfilmer I know that. But i cant make it witch stylized character witch difrent body and face shape. I think realilusing schow this like it is a solution - but it is only standard material transfer and metahuman id transfer.

th-cam.com/video/kLzdCb1iX3w/w-d-xo.html I need make something like this (11.09)

@@virtualfilmer Do you have discord or something? I can show you my problem and my idea for solution.

With 5.3, yes you can use Unreal LiveLink to connect iClone faces to metahumans. www.reallusion.com/iclone/live-link/unreal-engine/default.html

The “USDImport” node is not currently working. It requires a new version of Marvelous Deisgner that is not yet released. It will be released on April 20.

If you delete the usd import node, you can currently use the “staticmeshimport” node, but it is very limited and buggy - it only supports the same things that UE5.3 supports.

@@virtualfilmerThank you very much.

UE keeps changing, but it should be: Right click and type “onlivelink”, turn off context sensitive; then click ‘assign on livelink update’

@@virtualfilmer Got it working already, thanks for quick reply tho

April 20

That’s correct yes :)

I just heard from the bosses at Epic that it definitely won’t work until the full release. We only have four weeks to wait :)

muchas gracias te seguire necesito aprender de unreal @@virtualfilmer

Oh interesting! Yes I would assume so. I guess it’s the “kinematic collider” that needs to morph as well though, right? I haven’t been able to get ML CLOTH / ML DEFORMER to work so far, have you? The steps involved are so vague lol

@@virtualfilmer Yea, there aren't much resources on how to get it done. The good news is, I understand what is to be done. The bad news is it's a very tedious process .

Yes it looks incredibly tedious. Also I don’t have a spare computer to sit and grind through the training - which takes a v long time! :)

@@virtualfilmer tell me about it >D. thanks for all the digging into this MetaHuman stuff! Those ML tools sound like a beast to wrangle. Speaking of wrangling beasts, what's your new go-to workflow for getting those sweet iClone mocap expressions onto a MetaHuman?

I have no idea at this moment lol. I’m trying to add all my workflows as guides to my website (virtualfilmer.com) for that reason - I have so many bits of software and so many workflows in my head that when I move away from them I instantly forget haha

Yes I think it works with any character. It’s very exciting :)

I know, right? It’s crazy!

Thanks so much bass!

I’m working on a longer video! It’s quite difficult as there are so many steps. :) thanks for watching!

That’s a fantastic idea! I’ll try to work on one. Thanks!

I added a transparency map - I’ll try to find more details for you
