Hi all,

I've been really excited about iClone and it's PBR & Substance capabilities. I've setup a scene mostly how I want it to be, but whether I export it directly out of iClone 7 (FBX) or send it off to 3DXchange, it seems like it loses all the PBR materials / maps. All I seem to be left with is a couple of them (diffuse, etc). 
Does 3DXchange not support PBR at all (I don't see PBR maps available), and can iClone 7 not export the scenes with those maps / setup? 

I'm also curious, on a side note, if Substances must be baked before exporting -- it doesn't really seem to work fully either way...but I might as well ask.

Really excited about the possibilities!

Thank you,

John

3DXchange is a Dinosaur from the days of Windows XP, it is still 32 Bit and can't do anything with any item having PBR textures. This situation is a constant cause for complaints by a large number of users over the years.

Hi, if you export as FBX, this does not support PBR materials, you'll find it wont embed textures directly to Roughness or Metallic etc.. You'll have to reassign the textures to those slots yourself. I've tried it with unreal and a character, lots of textures to assign.

That’s another problem; I can’t believe there’s no option to atlas the materials together like Daz. It’ll take forever to do that by hand. The character I’m working on now has like 17 materials.

It's does take forever, and I've only been successful once.  I haven't been able to generate any AO maps to plug on all but one Character.  The one looks pretty good though.  Hoping to find the solution.

I found this post helpful to fix most of the PBR AO problem.  Wish the materials transferred without all the ruckus.  Maybe in an update would be amazing!

Haven't figured out the hair thing yet. Still only once.  Also, too bad the FXB doesn't carry over the Audio with the animation..  I don't know how to make that work yet.  Hopefully in time it will.
