Export UE4 Characters with Epic IK-bone

CC 3.1 allows users to export UE4 rigged characters with UE hand and foot IK bone setup, which then can be used to:
  • Keep a character's feet planted on uneven ground, and in other ways to produce believable interactions with the world.
  • Make CC characters compatible with motion files sold in the Unreal Marketplace.
  • Make iClone generated motion files or motions sold in Reallusion Store be compatible with all UE4 rigged characters.

Example: The blue man (with Hand IK) holds the gun at the right hand positions, while the orange man (without Hand IK) doesn't.

Hi Miranda,

Would it be possible to share the youtube links to the Unreal Live Training Videos that talk about the Animation Retargeting Blueprint & the Locomotion Tool from which you have included clips from in the video above?

Thanks a lot!

Hello sibi_naayagam,

We have no plan in making tutorials about how to utilize UE4 IK bone.  May you specify which part you'd like to explore more?
We may be able to find some tutorial or document regarding to it.
Thanks!

Hi Miranda,

I meant these two things:
https://youtu.be/k_QxePvdJh8?t=75
https://youtu.be/k_QxePvdJh8?t=223

It looks like they are from a different video. I'm wondering if you would know where I can find them?

Hi sibi_naayagam,

The video clips were extracted from part of our internal experiment videos, so might not be able to share them to you directly.
The tutorial explains how the animation retargeting works in UE4.
Hope you find this useful. (This is how we learned it as well Tongue)

I have commented on this elsewhere but would like a response from RL.

When I do an FBX export from iClone of a G6 character dressed in other than the standard clothing, I get a message that an Export license is required.

I understand that this is needed for exports to be used in external 3D applications, but since I'm using this to "loop back" into CC (via Transformer), I wonder if an export option could be added (for CC use only) that doesn't require export licenses.


UPDATE

Unfortunately the problem is that the Transformer only supports FBX import and with this comes the export license issue. The only way around this would be to update the Transformer to support .iAvatar format but this would require large scale changes to the Transformer. Sadly at the present time this isn't a planned option. I'm sorry I can't bring you better news.
