Making movies with iClone is my life's biggest passion, I just wish I could somehow do this full time and make money from it.

Still hoping that one day my channel/videos go viral.

My iClone short films: https://www.youtube.com/iClone316

Since I showed my Carrara animation with a CC3 animated figure, I've made a quick video in Iclone using the same motion and scenery item.
I gave myself a very quick crash-course in using Iclone's lights (I'm only on version 6 BTW) and rendered the video below.
It was dashed out just to get see a sample of effects and lights and to make a hasty comparison with the Carrara video (which I took more care with).

Impoert Daz chars. Piece of cake  ? Not for me
I followed the video about importing daz chars as fbx but get errors all the time .Pretty sure I used the same fbx settings on a G8male naked and applied the T pose before export Here is a typical result. Any suggestions as to what is wrong ?

Forgot to say the figure in the screen shot  is the default loaded when starting CC3 - Deleting it doesn't seem to be a piece of cake either.
Have spent last few days trying to get to grips with the demo software which stopped  working for while after an update - help desk advised me on that.
Thanks for posting the videos guys however I'm thinking the learning curve is a stiff one. I'm running out of demo days now but unfortunately my experience so far has not been good. A $400 spend [ 500odd in my Australian dollars ] for IC7,CC3 and the resource pack is a lot to fork out for an unknown quantity !! Maybe they will extend the demo.

One other thing and sorry I'm lazy to ask and not search for answer  - I know 3Dxchange imports objects  but Is CC3 good for importing 3d models and what format ? I tried fbx from Daz Studio but that didn't work.

It seems you used the regular import function for the FBX file, which will not work for this.

What you need to use is the Transformer option. This is only available in the CC3 Pipeline Extension. It doesn't work with the basic CC3.

Here are the steps:

1. Click the Transformer button. At the dialog that opens, browse to the FBX file of the Genesis model, and then click Open. CC will start loading the FBX file.



2. At some point, dialog box opens, showing texture loading options. Click Advanced. CC will continue loading the model.



3. Another dialog box opens. Check Bake Body Texture, select a Bake Max Texture Size (or leave at 1024) , then click OK.



CC will continue loading and baking the textures for the model. The transformed model will replace the default model (so there is no need to remove it).

To add to this: the Transformer function can be used with DAZ (Genesis), Poser, and Hivewire models. There must be a list somewhere as to which generations are supported.

Thankyou - Yes I was using the Transformer but to be sure, I just repeated the exercise both withG8male Base and V4 Base with morphs ++ .
Slightly different result this time as per screen shot attached  which includes the list of profiles and as you see G8 and V4 are there and are the ones I used.
baffled !
I'm wondering if a recent  "update" to CC3 has anything to do with it. A few days ago when HUB started it said to download update which I did then CC3 stopped working altogether. Help Desk identified that as being two versions installed so I uninstalled  the oldest - "clever update installer LoL "

The current version of both CC3 and the CC3P extension is 3.04.

You should try downloading both directly from your account
