If you start your new project with raytracing on,
you have a big list what to activate under "PostprocessVolume" search for ray and you will see ... 
Which GPU do you have?

I have a GTX 1080 Ti...
Did some research, but most Info was from the moment Nvidea implemented that to older GPU's.
Seems to be possible, but not optimal... Don't want to "break" that baby.
Don't know if that has been improved now. Maybe better wait till I can afford some RTX card.

I have hair problem. I imported from Daz and used the transformer in character creator 3. I setup hair as hair when I import Daz hair. Then I sent it to iClone. I used LINK-LINK and transferred character from iclone to Unreal engine. I pained with cloth painting for hair simulation. But it looks like this. Paint value is 26. Can anyone help to fix this problem? I read all tutorial from Bassline303 and watched all youtube. I read this forum from beginning and followed tutorial (disactive raytracing from light, clicked autosetup(cc3) and installed high shader, adjust opacity in material in unreal engine, ) But the hair looks not good like iclone. Should I use Maya xgen to create photorealistic hair instead of Daz hair?

Are you working with Raytracing?  Oops , there is a better workaround for raytracing.
Hair looks much better when Raytracing shadows are on.

So enable Raytracing Shadows for all lights again and Deactivate "Cast Shadows" under Material Settings / LOD 0 for Eyelashes and anything that has Translucent Material.

Of course best looking hair is Groom :-)

https://forum.reallusion.com/uploads/images/5049002f-ca16-4287-91d7-da70.jpg

When you are working with cloth/hair physics , you have to tick Recompute Tangent for your hair. Also try to switch your hair from "RL Hair shader" to "RL Eyelashes"  sounds funny I know ,the Eyelashes Shader are Translucent soyou have to deactivate "Cast Shadows" like in the picture ....sometimes the hair looks much better with this trick :-)

And do you have a hair cap? Try to tweak the opacity of the hair cap.

Thank you for a quick reply!!! I want to say thank you for your hard efforts to try to help us who has problem with iclone and cc3. I watched your all YouTube video and it is awesome!!!
I am also learning how to make hair with xgen in Maya because I want high quality hair. My concern is my graphic card is NVIDIA 770. I don’t have afford to buy better graphic card now. I hope it won’t crash while I put groom.
I have question. Can I add groom to daz hair in UE4?

Great info here for working with Iclone and Unreal, this would be very difficult without the generous help offered here.
Can anyone help with this? it may be a simple setting but I can not find it.
I'm working in Unreal sequencer and bring in a root motion, like, a root walk where the character walks 4 paces from the start position but when I add it again from the end of the first motion (like in Iclone) the motion jumps back to the original start position which does not happen in Iclone as you can append each motion to move forward from the last location.
Can this be done in Unreal and if so how?
Thanks for any help with this.
Neal

As some might have seen in other threads I always have DRM issues.
Two days ago all went fine.
Yesterday I wanted to tweak motion, got this:

https://forum.reallusion.com/uploads/images/064686fa-8cd8-4e70-8a4a-8906.png

Today, iClone's side works, but it does not show up in Unreal

Or do I have to transfer my character again??

Hi Pieter
Not really, as long as you haven't changed the character, you can always change animation
Try again to disconnect and re-establish in Icone Live Link and Unreal.
