Currently, I am collaborating with a friend on a project using both DAZ Studio and iClone.

My friend--who does NOT own iClone--wanted to do facial mocap animation on a DAZ Genesis character in DAZ Studio 4.6, export the figure and its morph animation to an FBX file for me to import into iClone via 3DXChange.

However, this pipeline does not work as it appears you cannot import existing morph (facial or otherwise) animation done in another program into iClone via 3DXchange. Whenever this is attempted, the facial morphs themselves transfer over but their animation keyframes do NOT.

Can this please be added to the next update to 3DXchange?

Peter,

it's almost been a year--with iClone 6 tentatively scheduled to be released at the end of 2014, is there any word on if the next version of 3DXchange will allow the importing of existing morph/facial animation?

Thanks.

Have you tried leaving it a prop? Or converting it to Non-Human?

If all your animation is from DAZ, a prop with embeded motions would be just fine. Then you can replicate them!

Version 5 will not do it, but version 4 (pro) did.

Sw00000p often mentions this.

No, I haven't tried that but, ideally, it would be great to have this ability on an actual iClone avatar and not on just a prop.
