I have IC8 and IC4 installed, as well as IC7 and for me 3DXchange works. 

Every FBX file imported is considered a prop, even if it is a character. It is just that 3DXchange has profile information for a number of formats (DAZ, Maximo, etc.) that allows the imported file to be converted to a non-standard character.

Yes, CC4 Transformer works better now that someone (ahem, modesty forbids) has tested and provided feedback.

But the texture imports are still broken - I'm working on a Python routine to fix it but in the meantime folks will need to do extra work that did not used to be needed.  It's not horrible but there's no real reason why it stopped working.

I've said this a couple times, mostly on your YouTube videos, but thank you so much for everything you do Mike!

Hey everyone. I noticed that once IC8 and CC4 came out, 3DXchange stopped working correctly. I still have IC7 because 8 kept crashing, but when i import Mixamo motions into 3DX, it doesn't work right.. Oddly enough, I can import the FBX file into IC7 directly, but it comes in as a prop.... Any suggestions to work around this? Or is realluison aware of this bug?  Thanks for your help. :)

@Peter Thanks for the feedback!
Transformer now is useful and I am using it. CC4 woks so much better now.
Waiting for the 8.1 update.

Greets,

Hi Mike... The 4.02 update should have fixed most if not all of the Transformer issues. Have you had time to test it yet? Please let us know your thoughts?

I will add my 2 cents, which, for inflation, would be worth about 4 cents, which maybe means it’s true diluted value is 1 cent.
But that’s neither here nor there nor anywhere…
To me CC4 and iC8 add much needed functionality as far as character animation goes.
It is first class and UI friendly making it a monster tool to have in your animation arsenal.

Consider that UE5 has issues and bugs present since release, but carries unmatched new innovations. So, you can avoid UE5 bugs in UE4, but then not have any of the advancements that UE5 brings. Such is the case in iC8 and CC4. Keep in mind a workarounds can within minutes in cases bypass issues. Ie - use Transformer in CC3, then save project and open in CC4. Optimal? No. But doable? Yes.

Because at the end of the day you could use older versions but then produce technically sub-par versions of what otherwise is being created elsewhere. It is your choice, but I recommend updating and using the newer versions along side your prior versions, if anything.
The advancements are an advantage.
If you want to take your talent to the next level, you can optimize that journey into it. Think of all the individuals that use vastly different methods to achieve their goals.

PS - this is not meant to convince anyone, but rather offer a perspective to the reader. When everything is “fixed”, you, and everyone else, will have access to the same toolset. Meaning, everything is updated for everyone, not just you. This means if you sit and wait until it’s perfect, someone else always will be 3-4 steps ahead of you because they simply advanced their talent. This is a definite opportunity to advance your talent.

BUY them!

Well why come when i bring in daz characters with clothing the textures from the clothing Like -Ao maps, Normal maps, Metallic and Roughness maps never come over. But i will do a live stream to see in real time to see if this working. I mean i have already done it but i will see in real time if it brings in all the textures over.

No, actually Transformer DOES bring in all the textures in CC3 - I even wrote the code to do it.  So it's MUCH more effective to use it than trying to bring in and fit the clothing any other way.
