Does this still support the facial animation from LiveLink? And have the rigging from Character Creator on import in the case of the body as well as any clothes worn?
Hi,@IchBinJager, No, this does not support facial animation from Live Link because the character used in this tutorial is still a MetaHuman character. Clothing will not work as well because they are only applicable to CC3+ characters. For more information, watch: courses.reallusion.com/home/iclone/pipelines/unreal?v=iclone-8-and-cc4-tutorial-auto-character-setup-for-unreal-engine-5
@@reallusion Okay. I thought we could record facial express to MetaHumans through Live Link, so I thought I could just clothe the model and the rest, import to MetaHuman, then take the facial animations in that process.
Video is informative , But I have QS - Getting message "For better performance , SkinGen editor will now reset the mixer output size to 1024". Is it default or because of Low quality graphic card
yes , it is related to the GPU to have a better performance when working with SkinGen Editor cos of so many layers, but you can use 4k textures , it will bake the textures to 4k when deactivating SkinGen.
I want to stick with my default import CC4 character and not import a metahuman character in pieces. So my question is, can I use metahuman materials on my CC4 character and how? I can use the eye materials inside unreal engine and they look amazing but the face skin doesn't match up the same.. help please if you know?
If you are going to apply the textures from CC, make sure you've used the 4k quality for a better result. And if you are using the original MetaHuman face textures, so be it.
Unable to save kevin head as a metahuman with High resolution no matter what I do. I converted textures to 4k in skin editor and the source tab in the export head window even reports the textures as 4k, however only low and medium are options. Why?
ALL DONE, BUT THE TEXTURE COMING IN SINGLE COLOR , I DONT KNOW WHY, i follow the same step what in this tutorial,,, UE 5.2 ,, import fbx file, make Metahuman , edit in Metahuman and apply normal texture, and import to UE 5.2... all going good, before apply the texture i save all.. after save the file and apply the texture the single color applied not the imported texture... kindly give me the solution please
If I have character generated in Metahuman I can import these to CC4 make textures and import to Unreal whether I need to make the same steps like this tutorial?

This looks so great, but it doesn't work for me! When importing the .fbx to ue5, it crashes during the auto processing at 30%. I do follow the video 100%, so I don't think I do something wrong.

Trying out the same workflow with 5.0.3 it works like a charm.
I’ve tried both 5.1 and 5.0.3 and I am not getting the shader option either. I only get the import options. Any tips on this or did something change within the past several weeks? Thanks for the help.

How to apply CC4 hairs???
did you figure this out? I need to know the same thing. If i can get a mustache and hair to metahuman that would rock
what about vise versa? metahuman to cc workflow? That would be awesome

you can actually export the metahuman to Maya, customize the body, and then export it back to unreal without loosing the metahuman rig.
