Meta Human prediction by ME!   This was before Meta Human. 
If you build it, they will come! 
And by "they" I mean "$$$$$"

Hi Peter ! Thanks for letting me know,  I didn't receive an email about it. Sooo you may be excited to know that It can certainly be done if you use smooth mesh by subdivision level 1.. I have assets that use displacement using more than one UV and even if there is one UV,  the edges will snap tightly together. Some of my displacement models are on the Ascensi store right now your team can verify.

Doing this will add the necessary resolution. Setting tessellation to anymore than level 2  would be problematic but that could of been an incompatibility between Iray and smooth mesh by subdivision since it is not yet compatible in Iray but also RTX cards were not compatible with Iray until this most recent update.  So I really hope you test this and see it work because it would be a BIG breakthrough for creatures, robots and humans. If people were careful and maybe a side note should be made in SkinGen Prem that if they don't use smooth mesh by subdivision that they would have to place the displacement mask away from UVs. Here is a full CC3 character with displacement using the exact same method I described and Rampa can verify this, he had worked with my Bear for a material work around converting the CC3 material to CC3 plus.  I really wish I was getting paid for these ideas & bug fix/workarounds,  think you might be able to help me out, maybe special R & D department? ;)    
I'm also going to post this in skinGen thread so people interested can follow the response there.

Hi Ascensi

I already replied to you about this in the thread below. Please see my reply there.

Hi Miranda, will the Skin Gen Premium receive an update for Displacement masks? This was expected to exist as part of the plugin/material slot 
and was very upsetting that it wasn't there. Now Unreal comes out with what appears to be just that! This would help make real deep tissue scaring, large pores, pimples, wrinkles, circuitry, cracks, scales etc which can be rendered properly in both iRay, iClone and 3rd party renderers etc. 
Personally my aim is to make content look real as possible for film, game/VR, posters and the market place. In VR especially you can't get away with just using normal maps to trick the viewer into raised surfaces - this is critical.
I have made the request on the feedback tracker and I hope others vote for this: https://www.reallusion.com/FeedBackTracker/Issue/Missing-Corresponding-Displacement-maps-of-scars-tendons-wrinkles-pores-burns-etc-Unsatisfied-Purchase

Hi everyone,

CC 3.4 and iClone 7.9 just released today! 
For the product roadmap of the following months, we will initiate a new thread, and share it to you in April.


Reallusion Team

ALSO ICLONE 7.9 PLEASE!!!!

I did not know that. Thanks for the information. :)

Epic basically payed for that live link integration to be free for indies with a megagrant. Maybe you could contact Unity and ask them to fund Reallusions development for Unit with they’re own grant. 

Live Link, dynamic wrinkle system - so much exclusive CC3 content for Unreal Engine and Unity gets just updates for the import plugin. Now Epic comes with meta-humans around the corner offering all of these features and more for their engine, for free. Could this be the beginning of Unity getting a little more attention?

Any chance we're getting a CC3 update and a 2021 roadmap this month? Excuse my lack of patience. lol I'm excited to see what Reallusion does with CC3 this year. Thanks for all the hard work!
