Hi, I have a custom model brought to Iclone through iclone 3D Xchange with all the blendshapes done in maya and mapped in the expression editor. While doing the preview, the character seems to be giving a smooth facial result, the same thing after recording looks very different. This includes jumping from one pose to another rather very quickly giving a jerky motion. Any suggestions, why this is happening. The model face count is around 70K, and my system is i7, 48 Gb Ram and 1080 Ti NVidia card.Any help will be great. Thank you in advance.

Does it do this with a standard CC3 character?

Thanks for replying. 
It's fine with the standard iclone characters. This jerky issue is with the custom character only.

Well, that at least is good to know, so you can focus your attention on what is different.

I'm no expert there, however -- my gut tells me your morphs aren't right but perhaps someone who has done this (created a custom character) can help from here.

A lot of work went into creating the facial blend shapes for CC, so trying to duplicate them is quite a task.

Before attempting facial Mocap, you would probably need to test the individual blend shapes and compare them with their effect on a CC character and spot deviations. Another issue might have to do with how they combine.

Defnitely, Morph target shape deviation is a key issue. We are working on it. But the difference between previewing and while recording VS recorded - playback is confusing.  Nothing is different between these in terms of blendshapes and other settings.  Any suggestions, i can try that out.

I'm sorry, I missed the part where you mentioned that the preview looks OK... Then it is indeed puzzling.

Yes. Also what we see while recording is not there in the playback is more of a puzzle!
