I have also attempted to export from CC2 and it doesn't work there, so it means that it has changed shared information.  I further uninstalled Unreal LiveLink and that didn't fix the issue.  I have also tried to retexture in 3ds Max and it won't let me do that so that means it is in the FBX and/or the OBJ.

So, I hate Reallusion Hub this is the third time I have either gotten a corrupted update or it corrupted the registry.  I refreshed the computer reinstalled manually (what I am allowed to now) all the software and as soon as I did it was working correctly again.  The problem is that 3 days before I installed the Unreal LiveLink it was fine after it wasn't.  No exported files from CC3, CC2 or iClone worked.  Yes I have Pipeline for everything.  It didn't work as a FBX or and OBJ.  The fact that all of these programs have shared data and files is why it is most likely the new install because otherwise it wouldn't have affected all three programs.

How do you export your FBX? I just tried the direct export from CC and all textures are separate.

I don't use LiveLink, but it may be that by going that route a texture atlas is created for efficiency. 

So what you would do is do the 3DCoat work first on a direct export from CC and then do your LiveLink.

Why isit when I export a character and want to paint it in Substance Painter everything comes in as one material now?  I can't seem to figure out why that is.  Any ideas if this is a bug or a new setting?


As Animagic mentioned, please tell us more about your export settings and workflow (LOD? Game Base? etc). Thanks.
