Hi, another fantastic video. Question - how come you chose the UEFN animations and not the UE4 ones? Is it just because the UEFN skeleton better matched your custom character's?
@@somedude5951 Technically as far as I'm aware Epic only developed for Iphones, but there is a version that has been developed by an independent developers. I haven't yet tested this so unsure of the results for android: github.com/justdark/UE_Android_LiveLink
Hello and thanks for another very informative video !! You flow through all these steps like a ballet dancer and make it seem accessible to anyone. You are a very inspiring teacher !!!
Prompt you're gorgeous, your kitten is BEYOND adorable, AND I'm excited to try this out. CC looks amazing. That character you created looks so cool. I also laughed at the viking's (Or dwarf's or whatever) dance.
I do hope you know an adorable kitten playing with a toy in the background videobombs even the loveliest of Muses? I had to keep rewinding because I was so distracted! That said, awesome tute! Love this tech. You rock.
Wow! What a great tutorial - very well organized and presented...from quite a lovely, highly intelligent and articulate lady...and cool cyberpunk chic, for sure! Love you little kitten, too! :-)
Great workflow, I hope they make the plugin to export CC character directly as metahuman to unreal so that live link can be used directly without a need to keep another metahuman in between.
Reallusion, the creators of Character Creator (CC), offer an Unreal Live Link for their animation software, which is ideal for studios with larger budgets despite its high cost. Given Reallusion’s track record of rapid development and industry-leading innovation, it’s likely they’ll release a more seamless integration pretty soob, they move quick. Having covered their products for years, I’ve observed that they consistently stay ahead of the competition and listening to customer’s. You can also use the face app to record to slates, then directly to your character. But I do prefer previewing my animation on my character and retaking if I’m not happy. Some really nice integrations coming along soon my friend!
Hi! been a minute since i commented but wanted to say again i love that you are trying out these new toys and showing us! it's been very helpful for me and im sure others
This is really cool :) would this also work with Metahuman Animator? so record the facial capture using the depth camera then bake the results to the control rig, if so that could be really cool as the Metahuman animator does really good facial traking.

Is there a way to control the animation with the keyboard? And my second question would be if there is a way to lipsync a face to a pre recorded audio?
Great tutorial! I almost learned something, but your beauty kept distracting me. Guess I'll have to watch it again... for educational purposes, of course! 😂
@@promptmuse I've seen your video now, and I've seen two cats too, I'm using all ways you doing it to for Short Stories or animations for games etc... keep go on Hun, still your the best.
Thank you, in time 17:40 you bring the body animation to character.. nice , but the talking of this character how you did??.. another question: If I bring the animation of face from iclone to UE, in this case can I mix face animation with maketpalce animation?? Thank you in advance
thank you for the great video, I've a question what is the purpose of this when we can do the same thing withing character creator why importing character here and then getting facials using unreal live link?
Quick question. In this case, does the face have bones? What if I use mixamo for the body and then metahuman face animation with live link, shouldnt this work? 🤔
At 11:20 in the video on the pop-up window, uncheck the filter by skeleton box and then you should be able to see all the control rigs available to you 🙏
Noob question: I'm learning how to get character bodies created the way I want and started animating. I'm a little confused on custom outfits though. How would I make an Egyptian suit of Armor, or Samurai with cybernetic parts. Seems programs like CC4 and others you can buy stuff that looks like it came from Gucci, but how does one truly design original outfits for characters? Do you have to model them in a 3d program? Cloths and clothing are really confusing me. Thanks!
For outfits, you can make them in programs such as blender marvellous designer and all brush. We’re lucky to have so many great tools out there however sometimes it’s a case of just trying the trials and seeing what works for you. The guys who made character creator actually have a store (it’s called real illusion store) and you can purchase premade outfits from here for your character. When you get more confident, you can always go in and edit those outfits yourself in a program like blender. I must admit there is a lot to learn when it comes to clothing so take your time and try and enjoy the process 🤍🤍
Excellent tutorial! Sorry if you mention it in the video, but I don't speak English and maybe I overlook it. But this works with Metahuman Animator? I mean the facial mocap that came out a few months ago, Since with ARKit we lose quality for speed. Greetings from Argentina! ^^
Thank you very much. I like your tutorials. They are great 💖💖 unfortunately i haven't an iPhone. My phone has an android os. Is there a way that i can use this method for a recorded video using android? Thank you 💖
Hello, quick question, does this method also works for completely custom hand modelled character from zbrush, because thats the model I am working with, it has not face rig at the moment.
No, it’s a one off fee! It’s probably about the only company that does that still! No subscription. But there is a free trial so try that before you invest, just to make sure it’s right for your needs etc ! Also there are student discounts and indie studio discounts if you fall into either of those brackets. Also just to add, there are a lot of add ins into the package, like additional hair libraries etc (much like Daz) there are many plugins but the core program is character creator.
Amazing video! Thankyou! I’ve just started this new channel using cc4 and Iclone and although I have mocap solutions it’s still easier and faster for me to use set motions in Iclone. I’d love for some feedback on how to improve or maybe even make the transition to UE if that would help. (I’ll advise to watch the fallout video as that encompassed the vibe of the channel). ❤
I just subbed, nice work ! What suit are you using Rokoko or PN or something else? I'll just put your link here if anyone wants to see your work : www.youtube.com/@bitmap_jack I'm a big retro gamer, so this is right up my street haha.
@@promptmuse aww thanks so much! No suit at all, so my mocap solution is simply my oculus (meta quest) with software called glycon3d. It has finger tracking and all sorts and imports FBX directly to Iclone. That is until the channel takes off and I can buy a suit or at the very least some smart gloves. Thanks again! 👍🏻
@@promptmuse Aw. Well as I watched your video I realized I have a workaround. I tried adapting the project I started in 5.1 to 5.4 and a lot of things went haywire. So I'm thinking I'm gonna do the animations with this pipeline in 5.4, export as FBX and bring them into 5.1 for the final render (at least for the first episode since it looks like I intended in 5.1 already). So thanks a lot for showing this very efficient pipeline! 🙌🙏
There is a bridge for android made by an independent developer. I haven’t personally tested it, but I will find the link and paste it here for you as well as in the description for others.
Yeah so basically the technique requires money lol, If I am not wrong even Iclone is a paid software and UE5 doesn't run on medium ranged hardware either. The struggle of the indifferent haha
@drukcg yep... CC4 and Iclone are quite expensive. UE 5 is free but not that easy-to-use. Even all those AI are not really free. The free one has a limited use. Blender is a good solution but also not that super easy to use.
Thanks, follow your channel for months already... just a hint.. you can directly live link with a CC4 character.. it involves 5-10 minutes of blueprint adjustments... AND you need a remapping of the names of the morph targets .. I am actually working on this in the next days .. just let me know, if you are interested of the outcome
I think Reallusion provided the blueprint you mention for CC3/UE4 only. It looks like such blueprint is intensionally dismissed by Reallusion. So, not totally sure I would base any workflow on something manually arranged by me. I'm not an expert though :)
@@Simone-lb8zr got it to work.. I am using the CC-Rig with face livelink app on the iphone - in real time.. looks pretty nice... hope I can make a youtube video about it tomorrow.. its actually pretty easy, only a little bit time consuming..
@@lukarisisgaming Congrats first of all. Did you still have to manually modify the animation blueprint to make it work? I hope doesn't result in a too fragile setup.
All FAQ Will go here :)
Hi, another fantastic video. Question - how come you chose the UEFN animations and not the UE4 ones? Is it just because the UEFN skeleton better matched your custom character's?
Do you have a boyfriend?
Is this only possible on an Apple?

Can I choose between front and rearcamera in the live face app?
YOU ARE AMAZING. Have not watched it yet... but EXCITED for this one. Thank you.

Thank you ! This was an excellent walkthrough
This was so cool! Pretty awesome for multiple character setups :D
I know it is awesome. I’m very excited about it. I’m just making a little personal project with it at the moment.
@@promptmuse Same. That character creator program has sparked so much in my imagination, for animating natively in Unreal.
This is really cool :) would this also work with Metahuman Animator? so record the facial capture using the depth camera then bake the results to the control rig, if so that could be really cool as the Metahuman animator does really good facial traking.
Yeap, should do! I’m gonna play with that today and get a proper confirmation but theoretically it should work absolutely fine.
@@promptmuse Thanks, im gonna have a look at this today too :) it could dramatically improve facial capture for CC4 character
Cute kitty in your background.😊
I’m 20 and want to make films about my psychedelic experiences, videos like this are blessings, can’t wait to check it out
Amazing, good luck with your project. Whether you use this method or not thank you so much for your comment. Do you have a link to your films?
