Hi guys :)

Old Buffer gave me some great information on importing Mixamo motions into Iclone 6 (See post below),  I wish to thank him again for his help. ;) 
Now, I'm trying to move on to face mapping. Is it like Daz where I map the bones inside Mixamo before importing into iclone or can the face be
rigged inside iclone? I know face rigging is more complex than rigging a body and I've studied the YT videos on it but they just made my non-techie
 brain confused as to the procedure. I can always 'sew' a substitute talking head onto the body but I'd rather use the avatar as a whole.
Any suggestions?

I don't think you will be able to do this in Iclone, the Mixamo characters don't have face bones like Daz characters and Iclone characters do to start with.  Are you wanting facial movement of the Mixamo characters? 

Indeed, most of the Mixamo characters don't have face bones.

There were a few older ones with bones:

and few newer

using morphs:

So, unfortunately you have to do it the hard way by manually assigning the expressions in 3DXChange !

But nonetheless, Fuse CC (LINK) and Fuse 1.3 at Steam (LINK) are still free, and you could easily transfer the content from version 1.3 to Fuse CC: video

Doing so, even the transferred TF2 chars still get face animation:

And you can find further additional content for free at ShareCG here (LINK), or here (LINK), and there are of course also the beautiful sets from Steve (Arteria3D: LINK).
Might be worth a try ?

Good info was wondering about the fuse stuff.

Hi guys :)
Well, I downloaded the free version of Fuse but it won't open for me. Any idea what may be blocking it?

Hey Pete,
Just tried to open Fuse . It opened just fine on Win 10 pro 64bit. 
Fuse version 2017.1.0

Hey Pete,
I could easily show you how to rig a face. It's EZ.

Example:
This character has only (1) Head bone and (1) Neck bone.

~ Create (1) bone and place it over the "Eye Brow"

Duplicate that bone and place them around the face:

Slide them inward to fit the mesh:

Notice the "Eye Bones" (sitting inside the eyeball)
76% of original size (was 664x19) - Click to enlarge

Notice the "Jaw" and "Tongue" bones:

1. Link the "Tongue" bone to the "Jaw" bone.
2. Link the "Jaw" bone to the "Head" bone.
3. Link all other face bones to the "Head" bone

Now, Skin the mesh to the bones..... "Weight Paint"

That's a strange bug in the program but this solution always worked in my case: LINK

...clicking the application icon multiple times quickly (users have reported 10-20 clicks on average to open the app)

Butofcourse:   Would like if you would start a new thread on your bone rig post you did. I think that would make a great topic to discuss...
