So the solution is one of the books. I watched the tutorial from Reallusion on Youtube again:)

- When the wrapping is done with Headshot V2, send your mesh to Zbrush or Blender and subdivide it around 4 times. 1 million polys is enough.
- Export it as an .obj and name it mymesh_HD for example.
- When exporting with the 'Export Head' function in CC, select the exported subdivided HD mesh as you high poly mesh for baking.

Problem solved:)

SORRY for the double post:( and not sure why the post I replied to isn't attached to....

Thanks for the quick reply , Bassline! and the 5.3 plug-in.  And you're right. Something glitchy is happening with my iClone 8 installation when I export fbx animations.  All of them are exporting with just a t-pose. I hope the recent update didn't break anything. I'm hoping its just that particular project being corrupted. Which really sucks, but I can atleast find a workaround for it. So, with the the setup you and Toby figured out, I should be able to export the animation directly to the Metahuman character from the CC4 character? 

Okay after a few more tests, it seems the Unreal FBX export is broken in my iClone 8 installation. I have to use Maya FBX export or one of the other ones.  I think it may have been the recent update. I uninstalled and reinstalled iClone 8 and it is still there. 

strange , works fine here ,  also be sure to add the fps you used in IClone (default is 60) in the UE5 fbx import advanced settings :

When importing deactivate import mesh and select the the CC4 skeleton you use to drive the Meta Human:

P.S. or use Take Recorder with Timecode Sync to record the animation ...

Thanks! That was actually exactly my issue. I had the iClone FPS set to 30fps instead of 60. Lesson Learned! Thanks as always Bass!

How bi-directional is the connection between iCLone and Unreal?

I was playing with the 'Look at' function in iClone hooked up to a custom MetaHuman in Unreal. All works great. But switching between UE en IC is quite a hassle.
So I was wondering....would it be possible to transfer the look at object to UE and control it from there, while sending data back to IC? 

If that not's possible I might try this route below (without IC), but it's a tedious process;)

I finally found time to play around with Rush Hour: 



This is all done in Unreal, but the characters were still animated with iClone...
