If this is my only choice, it will take forever for me to finish all of my characters because I would have to do this for each individual character. I was hoping there was a better method out there.

No short cut on this , other than, doing 1 ...saving the facial mapping profile and using it on the rest of your rigs as a preset. This should in theory work being that all the morphs are apparently the same.

I had better luck with fuse and poser. You can use Genesis to customize your characters and no two characters would look similar.

Also what prabhataM says You can use Genesis to customize your characters and no two characters would look similar. because genesis is a universal mesh and can shaped from tiny cute toon character untill to a heavy deformed hulk monster, or what ever Actually is there no limits. ------------------------------------------------------------------- liebe Grüße vidi meet us here Edited 9 Years Ago by vidi

Download your character to using .fbx format 3. Import your character to 3dxchange 4. Convert to non-standard character 5. Click the presets dropdown box and select Maya Human-IK 6. Click Face/extend mapping icon 7. Check the "Active" checkbox (Heres the tricky part) 8. Within the Face Bone Mapping - Face tree A. select mixamorig:RightEye and click the "Map to right eye" Icon B. select mixamorig:LeftEye and click the "Map to left eye" Icon 9. Click convert 10. Select Expression Editor 11. Watch this video (starting at 11:47): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enqtEv89tDE 12. Click Apply iclone and you're done!! I hope this helps someone.

I have created many Fuse characters and set them up in Xchange without a problem. On mixamo site Check “Enable Facial Blendshapes” when Auto-Rigging to get a full set of facial blendshapes, making lip sync a possibility for characters built in Fuse.
