If the character is custom such as those from MakeHuman then you can't bring these into CC3 because they won't have the correct bone and mesh structure. However for iClone you could import the character with 3DXchange 7 Pro/Pipeline and then convert it to a non-standard iClone character.

Thanks Peter! one last question is there any way I could import a custom model that is built from scratch into CC3Maybe the asset MakeHuman?

Hi,

The characters look really good! Are these for sale anywhere, the Daz versions? We can always convert them in CC3 for use in iClone ourselves.

Thanks vidi although I see on their page marketing for games that it could be sold on other markets but the developer must obtain a legal certificate and that I'd have to make the request with marketing. 

It states this at the very bottom of the page under "mass distribution rights"  - Only authorized resellers who have a legal certificate provided exclusively by Reallusion, are allowing to sell Reallusion format files outside of the Reallusion website domain.

Peter might want to look into this as well.

I may just get Wrap 3 and copy my textures, sculpted morphs etc on a new custom model with new uvs etc or copy over to MakeHuman if it works well enough then set things up in 3Dxchange. Unfortunately It wont be credited "made with Reallusion's Character Creator"  at that point since it would be remade with and into other tools. It's a bit of a process and I wish I didn't have to do extra work.

Make Human would not be modification of CC3 asset if you used MakeHuman topology, it's own rig and UVs -this is what I meant to say.

About the bone structure, I could remove/refine the bones to match DAZ/CC3 in Akeytsu and the mesh structure, quads and split up the model the same. 
It's doesn't sound like the vertices have to match but be very close since Daz and Pozer are likely different vert count than native CC3 characters. Anyway I could give it a  try. If it works then it would open up the door for more CC3 owners because I've been reading a ton online about about other professionals "staying clear" of buying CC3 because of restrictions selling their CC3 creations on other markets. I think if Daz and Poser are excepted formats and it's not about an exclusive partnership with them then I hope Reallusion adds what steps is necessary to make our custom rigs work with CC3.

Another question though.. if I create the correct bone and mesh structure, order and naming scheme.. would my mesh be converted into a CC3 mesh & UVs or does it stay the same? Thanks again for your help.

There is a difference between selling a game and selling custom characters in 3D formats like FBX. You can sell games that use Character Creator avatars in outside stores providing there is no way for the end user to access or extract the character files themselves.

The only features I'd really need from Character creator is pose, goz, mesh edit and editing contact points. 
But I understand what you mean about transformer transferring over to the other topology. Thanks again.

@Peter that last last section was a bit confusing "You can only sell Reallusion derivative content and/or Reallusion proprietary format files inside the Reallusion Content Store and Marketplace. Only authorized resellers who have a legal certificate provided exclusively by Reallusion, are allowing to sell Reallusion format files outside of the Reallusion website domain."
Since that line was on the topic of selling "content" on a store then went into saying only authorized resellers who have a legal certificate provided exclusively by Reallusion are allowing to sell Reallusion format files outside of the website domain.  It basically states no you can't but then states yes you can with permission..  Reallusion might want to have that written differently. It seems left open to interpretation - sell in games, other market places as content etc

The quick answer is "No".

The long answer can be found in the DAZ EULA.

The Transformer is really only for personal use.
