Hey everyone,

So I'm having an issue with CC3 when wanting to port my characters to UE4. The acceptance of UE4 of one character or another on the UE4 mannequin skeleton seems completely random to me. It works for some of my characters, not for others even though they share the same skeleton and body morph, the only thing that changes are clothes and accessories. Is there something I'm missing ? I even tried to reset the skeleton of one of my character that can't go on in the UE skeleton to the default CC3 skeleton, but it is still refused.

I know I can retarget and that works well, but the issue is that I want them all to be on the UE4 skeleton to make animation sharing less tedious.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot 

Hi im trying same thing and i have not good results, if you know how to solve that issue replacing with UE skeleton, please post it here, thanks.

Hello fiesta, do you use the Auto Setup plugin, and use these import settings, outlined in this article https://manual.reallusion.com/CC_and_IC_Auto_Setup_Plugin/ENU/CC_and_iC_Auto_Setup/1.0/02_for_Unreal/Importing_Character_FBX_File.htm

What kind of market place assets are you using?
Do all content assets are CC3 compatible? 

CC3 exports a different skeleton since at least 3.02, because with this update they introduced FootIK bones into the skeleton. What I do is to use two CC3 skeletons since they introduced FootIK bones. 

 

Hey,

Yeah I'm using the auto-setup and all the correct export options in the article. What's weird is that it works for certain characters but not others.
I'm using custom assets so nothing from the marketplace. What do you mean two CC3 skeletons ? You mean inside UE4?

The skeleton changed in CC3 3.01 or 02 because they added the UE default FootIK bones to it.

 

OK I found the issue. Some of my items were not skin weighted and simply attached to a bone. I don't understand how or why this broke the skeleton but apparently it did. Turns out it works and now I just attach the accessory in UE :)
