I am a C4d user too and I am having the same problem with the eyes when exporting via FBX.
The only workaround right now is to do the "look at"  with constrains in C4D.


Hi Bassline, could you describe how you use constraints in C4D for "look at"? I've been trying, but the axes of the eyes seem all wonky and backwards.

Acutally, I figured out a relatively simple solution in C4D: I used Group Object on each eye null inside the bone hierarchy and used Enable Axis to swing the Z axis around to point forward, and put a Target tag on each of the new nulls. Seems to work pretty well.

I'm trying to work around the eye bug by using Live Link and recording the animation in Unreal Engine. It does solve the eye problem, but the animation isn't nearly as smooth in Live Link as in FBX. I hope that Reallusion fixes this eye bug quickly, considering that their next release is supposed to work as a pipeline to Marvelous Designer and Unreal Engine. In addition, it's horrible that I can't save my animation in iClone as a Motion Plus without the crazy eye bug.

@Tim  your C4D based workaround for the "Look at" export failure.
is a perfect example of why I prefer a full 3DCC application
over Game engines as external  rendering environments for Iclone
animated figures.
As much as I love Iclone for animating people,we have to acknowledge its (often severe) Limitations in many areas.
Such as no curve editor support for facial phonemes.😒
However Blenders ,far superior, curve editor can access My CC3 Avatars facial animation keys for further editing in Blender if so desired.
Just one example of how Iclone's  limitations can be easily overcome after FBX Character export into a pro level 3DCC Like Maya,Blender or Maxon C4D.
WHile there are some really useful paid Character animation plugins for Unity such Umotion pro &final IK.
and others for UE4
Game engines are essentially realtime playback environments
with  comparitively very limited native tools to overcome any major problem with and already animated imported Character.

The holidays are over it's a New Year and I hope that someone from Reallusion will address this problem. Exporting the animation correctly to FBX is extremely important. I have reported this problem here, to customer support and to the Feedback Tracker and I am still waiting for someone to fix this bug. 

Again, here is a link to my YouTube video demonstrating the eye malfunction when doing an FBX export from iClone:

Hi...

Thank you for the feedback. If you have reported the issue in the Feedback Tracker it will be looked at by the iClone team. You will then get a status update once the issue has been fully investigated.

This is not fixed yet - even in the latest iClone version.
I believe it's been an ongoing issue since 2017?(!)
