I experience that some meshes are not smoothed in Omniverse.
Unfortunately i am not able to understand exactly the reason for this.
Obviously, it doesn't depend on the settings in iClone.
Is there any fix or feature planned so that smoothing works for all exported props (and also characters)?

Here is a simple "workaround", you can just disable the "Subdivision scheme".
However, it only seems to help in certain cases.

Thanx for reply. ;)
As I'm familiar with the "Activate Purchase" glitch, I use it whenever I want to export,
so this was not the problem...
Checking each component is a PITA when you have lots of stuff in your scene.

@ RL please check/address this!

I've come across the same and it is annoying and sometimes even incorrect.

I ended up checking each component of the export separately by clicking the Export USD button and seeing what happens. I was usually able to figure it out. I've also found, like I mentioned, that I often have to do a "Activate Purchase" to have Export licenses recognized. 

RL, this process needs streamlining!

This sucks:



I have no clue what item is causing problem as "following content" is not "named"...

EDIT
I opened 3 other older projects, all have the same issue!
When iClone is capable to detect missing licenses, it should be capable to name them!
SUCKS!

Yeeeeup… I’m not sure how many other people have made complete shorts with Unreal. But this was a pain I frequently have had to deal with using iclone with Unreal. I’ve done about 4 or 5 scripted shorts with iclone to Unreal. The first one was a conversion of an old iclone film. I pretty much pulled my hair out trying to figure out what article(s) didn’t have an export license. Not to mention a stock animation that I mangled and cut up. Trying to pinpoint what the issue is is one thing, but then to realize there is no export license for an older animation/object etc. It gets pretty frustrating. Goes back to that export license and why do we need it just to animate for personal use. Converting old projects can be a mess.

In my experience so-far the real-time renderer is barely useable and doesn't provide any advantage over the native renderer. Maybe it works for more cartoon-like setups.

One problem I have is with hair. The hair (using the  Digital Hair Shader) shows too light in the ray-trace renderer and I don't know how to fix that. Are there any tips or tutorials on that? 

Other than that the project transfer is pretty painless and quite fast.

A hassle though is that even if you have export licenses they are often not automatically acknowledged as such and you need to do an "Activate Purchased Items".

Another problem is that older content, which is perfectly useable, may not have any export license and then needs to be removed from the scene if you can figure out which one it is because iClone doesn't tell you. I believe that export license availability will be mandatory with the new Market Place so that will help.

EDIT: I watched the YouTube tutorial below, but I need a bit more...

Yes Yes Yes !  And with the power of your PC , multiple subdivided Characters for nearby shoots are no problem at all !
For Game Characters it is ok but for Cinematics we need the possibility to export subdivided Characters , like the Meta Human.
Please RL :cool:

So one issue I encounter and that I hope can be resolved is that smoothing in iClone for animated characters does not carry over in Omniverse, which really deteriorates the look.

A similar issue has been brought up by Unreal users and I now understand what they are talking about...:unsure:
