Hello everyone,
So I am a fairly new user of the Reallusion pipeline, and up until recently everything was working fine.
But then I got the prompt to install CC4, for which I had a key. So I installed CC4, while also keeping CC3.
I opened one of my projects from CC3 in CC4 and that went well. But when I wanted to export it to iClone 7, the button was greyed out.
So am I not able to send from CC4 to iClone 7 without workarounds?
Because if that is the case, you could have been clearer about that if I am being honest.
I wasn't planning on getting iClone 8, since I haven't even really started to get to work with 7, so what now?
I bought the 3dxchange app a while back and through a video on youtube I managed to get my character into iClone 7, but not everything was functioning properly.
I realise I still need to get all the bones remapped for the eyebrows and stuff, but there are also issues with the forearms not properly bending at poses.
(Also, the right eye had the transformation still, but the left eye didn't do anything, this was fixed by clearing both eyes and retargeting.)
The picture below shows the area around elbows and wrists deforming strangely. I can make better images if you need them, just had this on my desktop and the issue is clearly visible.
The same pose worked fine in iClone 7 when I exported from CC3.
This is the opposite of the reason I started using your apps by the way, the seamless workflow and all..
Not a problem, I will just use CC3 with iClone 7, and consider the upgrade to CC4 waisted money for my current usecase.
My bad for not reading up enough I guess..
But now the project I have opened in CC4 can no longer be opened in CC3, something isn't working anymore..
I guess I could redo the entire model in CC3, but it isn't really what I was expecting.
I must say, I am getting kinda confused now.
So to sum it up:
CC4 to iClone 7: Yes or No? And is this intended behavior?
And was this common knowledge?
From CC4 back into CC3: Why is it not working and is this intended behaviour?
Will my projects be unusable in CC3 if I have opened them in CC4 or is this a bug or human (me) error?
From CC4 to 3DXchange to iClone 7: Why are limbs misaligned when I exported from CC4 in T-pose?
Should I technically be able to get a fully functioning standard character into iClone 7 through 3dXchange if I put in the time?
Because that way I might be able to still use the character from the project.
Is there any way for me to restore the file for use in CC3?
Is there even a proper way to go back and forth?
Could I maybe pull the morphs out of this project for use in another or something like that?
Am I forced to buy iClone 8 for the same seamless integration from CC4 as I had between iClone 7 and CC3?
Because that would mean I've wasted my money on the CC4 upgrade.
Hope someone can enlighten me and thanks for reading,
Nick
