Im having a problem with importing facial morphs into UnrealEngine 4.17.1. Im testing with the basic female PBR mesh but nothing seems to work. I have also tried with a older version of UnrealEngine which was 4.15.

What Im doing is:


Exporting from CharacterCreator 2 (latest patch) with these settings:


Importing to UnrealEngine with these settings:




In UnrealEngine I must save almost all the material to "fully support morphtargets" but the morphtargets will not work:






I also tried to export out of Maya but with no luck. What am I missing? If someone could do a tutorial for importing functionable facial morphtargets to UnrealEngine it would be wonderful!

I'm no expert in this but in the first pic  you are exporting the normals y+ instead of y- for unreal. But i guess that's just an error in your print screen.

You where right, I had to set the target to Unreal. It didnt work to set it to Unreal from CharacterCreator but I sendt it to iClone and exported it as a FBX from there with the Unreal as target and then it worked. Also, it looks like you have to import the FBX two times to UnrealEngine to get the morphs to get them to work. Thanks alot, I was about to go mad!

From CC2, make sure the "animation" radio-button is checked (it is in your earlier pic) and that it is set to "Custom". You can then load a motion from your library onto the character.

Thanks for the tip, UnrealEngine detected the preset .iMotion files perfect without errors

Hi!
Could you try to import iclone facial animations to unreal? Be cause, I can import mesh, skeleton, morphs and body animations from iclone to unreal but facial animations don't work.
All the morhps are functional in unreal, but the imported curves are with zero values.

(unreal 4.17.1)

Thanks!
Cristian

Sometimes I have to re-import the FBX to UnrealEngine get the facial morphs to work. I dont know why, you might want to try that.

Yes, I have tried that with the mesh (reimporting mesh) and worked for the character morphs
But, the problem is with animations. All the curves import with zero values, be cause of this, facial animations don't work
Thanks!

i've taken a genesis 3 character, gone from daz3d  ( with iclone animation for facial stuff )... to exchange to iclone to exchange to unreal engine, exporting fbx from exchange for mesh and for animation,... no viseme is importing into unreal engine, but is seen in exchange, iclone, and in the fbx when i import it into any autodesk product like 3D studio max,... 

but,... if i use the same process but use an iclone character instead of a daz3d character, the viseme show's up in unreal engine... please please,... any help would be greatly appreciated...
