Hi guys,

I searched the forum and couldn't find an answer for this. How do you export physics to UE4? (for example, the hair or assassins cloths) I couldn't find any way to export apex cloth.

Thanks in advance!

I've been working on this for months, with iClone 6, 6.5, 7 Alpha and Beta.  I'm still working on it.  My previous attempts used alembic exports but they ended up being 10GB+ in size for each animation, so I'm now working on divided-up characters.

I did put it on the forums on the wishlist posts, but no luck so far Sad

I'm experimenting with some newly inspired techniques now.  I'll update this thread with anything I come up with.  Sorry I couldn't give you the answer straight out but I just wanted to let you know you're not alone, and also to ask if you can update this thread if you come up with any answers.

Cheers!

Hi FSC and Atonnis,

We have been studying and searching for the solution to carry Physics when export, but there is no specific schedule at the moment. The NVidia APEX framework can't be applied to the current CC, because APEX inside the Unreal Engine currently does not support vertices with skin weights of 4 or more bones.

With the release of Unreal 4.16 they switched from Apex to NVCloth. Will that make a difference?  I'm not familiar to either one.

Is NVcloth for UE4.16 compatible with custom clothing made with this method?

Does NVcloth work with the character creator clothing assets?

Trying to understand the best way to approach this

NVCloth works with every skeletal mesh, include CC Cloth mesh,
But you can't bring Clothing data(Ex. Clothing weight map, and other Attributes) from CC to UE4,
you need to set new NVCloth to CC Cloth in UE4,
