How DARE YOU bypass LiveLink for the camera...

Bassline, 2 Q's:
1 - Unreal imports in the Look at Camera movement from iClone as a keyed movement?  
2 - The avatar was brought in with the Unreal Skeleton, or no, because I saw the animation was brought in as CC3 skeleton, and you didn't retarget.  I thought we had to retarget the animations or something from CC3.

1. Yes as a key , but it imports all blendshapes/morphtargets too, facials for example.
2. In the import menu , I unclick mesh (I want only animation , no meshes), but I select the CC3 Skeleton so you don*t have to retarget because the animation directly gets the right CC3 Skeleton.(So they share the same Skeleton)
IC and CC3 convert the Skeleton to the Unreal Skeleton while exporting , thats so great!
You only need to retarget when you want the animations from the paragon characters (for example)   or when your Character has its own Skeleton.
When you import a new Character ( Zombie for example) and you don't tick CC3 Skeleton as target (it has to be already imported in UE4), it will get its own Zombie Skeleton , that has to be retarget then.
Not everybody have Live-Link  ;-)  but Live-Link Tuts will come.

Hello,
Added particles and particle toggle track (sequencer)
And attached to the actor's hand.
Question: Can anyone tell me more about the particle setting.
Kind regards rosuckmedia

I actually was researching into this myself and I find that the CC3 avatar does not retarget these motions well:
1) certain animations don't retarget so it is not continuous like it is with the included mannequin.  
2) the various modes can't be selected while using the CC3 avatar.

Now, the product itself does detail that it is almost more of a demo/proof of concept, so it gives some backdrop to creating your own mechanics. 

But the one thing it also reveals is
3) the horrid physics set-up on the CC3 avatar as it comes in...super-cluttered with a lot of capsules and shapes for collision, causes the avatar to stretch and vibrate wildly. 
As Bassline mentioned in the hair / clothing tut-video he posted, you really do need to create a new physics...
Unfortunately this entails removing and then adding in collision capsules, constraints, and then constraint thresholds....YUCK



I wonder if you can do this once and then save as a template to apply to other chaeracters

Maybe this is it, not sure...

I did a test with Game Mode recorded Cameras :
You can record all kinds of Cameras and paste it into your Video Sequencer.
