Check out the tutorial showing you How to Use MetaHuman Animator Facial Animation data on CC4 (Character Creator 4) Characters | Supports both Facial & Full Body Mocap: th-cam.com/video/Zli3jbCcSm4/w-d-xo.html
Really useful tutorial. I'm just getting used to Unreal so this helps a lot. Out of curiosity why do you add the facial animation to the body component and not the face component?
The facial and full body mocap data comes in combined, so that's the process needed to split it up for baking onto the UE control rigs for the face and body.
Thank you for this! Is it possible to use this method just to set up the UE control rig for a character that's already completed rigged? (And if I do not want to use CC rig & weight painting)
Thank you!. This workflow is mainly for CC4 rigged characters. It currently does not support custom characters even if they are sent from CC4. The character needs to be based on the native CC4 base model.
Are you still using the rl sequence animation? If yes, then after converting to control rig BP, is it still maintain the relative position of the iClone as they after transfer with LiveLink. If not, why not you use only Autosetup instead of LiveLink?
Hi Solomon! Question: what is a Body/Face component? I see you add Body/Face components to the "CC_Rig_BP" first, then add the animation to the component. But I saw a Reallusion video where you can just add the animation directly to the CC_Rig_BP. What's the difference?
Hi I got a problem I import usd animation from audio to face and when a try to load in the blueprint character shoe in the timeline the keyframes but the face archetype dont move at all, i dont know what to do, please helpp me
thank you Solomon. Could you please help me solve one problem with this. when i bake face control rig, for some reason facial animations change a bit. they're not as expressive. please help )
That’s the real question I haven’t seen answered. How easy does it make it to retarget MHA to CC characters, and are the CC blendshapes capable of not losing most of the magic in the process.
For God’s sake, I want to animatey CC4 characters in Unreal Engine without having to pay the $1000 for a plugin that was implied to be a feature already within CC4 and iClone. That pisses me way the hell off. A “one month free trial” is not a sustainable workflow, and I need my project to earn money before I can drop YET ANOTHER GRAND just to make something function THAT SHOULD ALREADY BE THERE. Frankly, THAT’S THE SAME WITH THE ROKOKO PLUGIN. How the FUCK am I supposed to get motion capture data in from a suit if THERE’S A HIDDEN GOD DAMNED LICENSE.
thanks for the tutorial ! Did you try moving the animation to another place? This happens to me th-cam.com/video/3-suJgcFsa4/w-d-xo.html And what is the name of that Unreal lighting system you use? Is it in the marketplace?
You are welcome. I will take a look at that issue and see if it happens on my end. The lighting system is called Atlux: You can see the tutorial here: th-cam.com/video/JClzpQeRLzs/w-d-xo.html
I tried this and i couldnt find the RLLevelSequence Folder anywhere in My Unreal Engine content browser and I also noticed that I dont have the "Bake all animations to Sequence" option in my Iclone live link transfer panel too. I suspect this might be a version issue. I guess i am stocked with the extra step of doing a take recording in Unreal Engine after Livelink tranfer. Thanks again for the tutorial.

@@SolomonJagwe AhI see that makes sense. Thank you.
Thank you SO SO MUCH!!! I've been trying to figure out how to bake both body and face for days!!! You're awesome!!!
Thank you!! I am glad I was able to help.
Your video was captivating, an exceptional display of creativity. 😀

My movie is coming because of you. Thanks Salomon.
Thank you so much!! I look forward to seeing what you create.

@Solomon have you used Move One animations on your CC control rigged CC4 characters?
Yes I have

and one other thing... where do i find the setup/plugin for ATLUX? is that with the control rig plugin or a separate marketplace asset?
You can learn more about it in this Tutorial: th-cam.com/video/JClzpQeRLzs/w-d-xo.html links are in the description of that video.
Do you have any information on using it for live motion capture?
I appreciate that Salomon. How If I transfer the entire sequence scene with switch camera already using the take Record method?
Why is Bob's head so much darker than his arms (skin elements) when using the HQ shader? How do you address that Solomon?
I will take another look. Thanks
@@SolomonJagwe No problem.
hey there! I've watched your tutorial, and as I wanted to follow along, I've seen that none of these plugins are updated to UE5.5. Any suggestions?
The 5.5 plugins are not yet ready. Still waiting for their release

Hi Solomon, I just got CC, how can I transfer my characters from Character Creator to UE and use Mixamo animations?
Is it possible use MH Animator with CC characters? And there are head and body separate mesh or single

@@plainpixels let’s try)
Update: Yes, it is possible. Single mesh for the body and head.
is there a point to buying iclone if you can use this?
