Hi there
I just exported a custom clothing character for unreal and I have 3 main issues to solve:
1- I soften the edges of the dress in Maya and I seems OK in CC but the exported mesh in UE4 looks harden. What should I do in except what I did in Maya?
2- I remeshed all the cloths and used two poly extrudes for the edges in Maya to fake a thickness but in CC when I run collision in conform the edges looks weird. Should I leave then thin?
3- When I use morph sliders in skeletal mesh window my character goes back a little in front axis by each slider. So why is that?

Try to switch the Normal Import Method to "Import Normals and Tangents".

We are checking it, will get back to you soon.

3- When I use morph sliders in skeletal mesh window my character goes back a little in front axis by each slider. So why is that?

Can you specify the process? Which sliders were you using?
More information like step-by-step images or video will be a great help for us to clarify issues.

Thanks!

The "goes back on the front axis" is a problem I got too when I try export morphs from CC3 and use them in 3Dxchange.

You can reproduce the error by:
3Dxchange: export the "Open" morph as .obj.
CC3: Export as .obj with default morph.
Open it in a 3d editor, ex Blender.
Blender: Import the CC3 .obj. Import 3Dxchange .obj. You will notice that the CC3 morph is moved a bit in the forward direction compared to the 3Dxchange morph.

Hi, Thank you for answering. I won't have access to my office pc for a week so right now I can tell you some quick notes:
1- I followed official tutorial of CC website a movie for exporting for unreal with lod and etc.
2- I think the main reason for this behavior of morph targets is the UE4_ A_Pose animation becasue when I assign this pose as an animation sequence to the skeleton the offset will happen again. I mean the skeleton is a little pushed back because of the pose and it will go further back when you assign the pose as animation again.

And about the edge thickness I really need that feature so please give me a correct method for thickness.
