I was looking to test and see if I could transfer motion from my existing film work to CTA. current process involve animating in iclone and transferring the emotions to G2 characters. I was trying to see if i could so something similar with G3, but when I activate the Motion Link plugin I'm not able to see any options that would allow me to select an existing character in my stage. Instead my only option seems to be to "add dummy character". 

Am I correct to assume that maybe only animations created with this dummy will work? It would be nice if I could poses and use the existing characters from my work and use that instead of having to just use that dummy. Or be able to replace a character with the dummy if that's what it would take.

Note: For my G2 workflow I'm able to use Motion Live to capture the action, and am able to transfer the motions to the G2 via rLmotion fairly easy. (it would be a million times easier if you would enable the G2 character to accept the direct connect ;) )  even if its just with G3, it would be nice to work with existing animation as opposed to having to use the dummies to start from scratch.
