I think I already have those converted motions. But I might need specific ones that are not available there. Also, I found it a pain to search and view each animation in that library for a character inside iClone unlike when it is in Mixamo site. I hope there was a quicker way to browse each of those Reallusion formatted animation files.



In my current situation, I think that is the best way if I can figure out the ideal process in exporting animations for CC3 characters in Blender to UE5. 



I will probably get there. But not right now as I feel I need to still expand my knowledge first in Blender & UE5. I don't want to repeat my past mistake of buying all these expensive Reallusion software too soon just to find myself stuck with missing/unavailable features when I finally have the time to use them more. But I fully appreciate your opinion and I will continue to have my eyes on these software.

Nice! Will check those add-ons and do some more research on how these will work together with CC3 & UE5. It looks like Auto-rig Pro is the way to go in my current case. I realize it's a must to also know first how to use other more flexible tools that have much lower cost before anything else. Later on when I'm more comfortable, I can try the more expensive ones to help quicken production time. Thanks for the suggestions! :-)

If you go to the Mixamo web page, and type in "pack" in the search box on the Animation side, it will show 
multiple motions to download to your character for that pack. For instance, the pro rifle pack has 49 motions in it.
I hope this helps.

Hi! Yes, I noticed that before. But thanks!
My problem now is how to successfully export a CC3 Character w/ animation from Blender to UE5. I just tried using Mr. Victor.Soupday's CC/iC Tools version 1.4.9 more. Rigging was easily done therein by just clicking a button (more info here). Furthermore, importing external animations (i.e. from Mixamo) using the tool also worked successfully within Blender. But I noticed there is no Export to Unreal feature. It has Export to Unity though and I also tried that and imported the FBX file in UE5 using the Auto Setup for Unreal Engine version 1.25 process. An "Export Smoothing..." error appeared in the final Error Log in UE5 and no animations were imported. But most of the Texture Materials appeared ok except some in the area of the eyes of the CC3 Character. 

I also tried the built-in Export FBX of Blender and results is worse after importing the CC3 Character in UE5. Next step would probably be to check out Auto-Rig Pro's Export to Unreal feature. But will have to do some more research on it first before finally buying it. Might also try to see how to separately import external animations and use it in a CC3 Character Mesh already inside UE5.

Yes, you can import animations into the UE with the mixamo character and you can retarget those animations to the CC3 character by retargeting the CC3 character to the mixamo character.
I haven't retargeted the Mixamo characters before, but it can be done with some effort.

CORRECTION:
I tried it again but pressed the "Bake Unity Animation" button first before clicking "Export To Unity" button. I then dragged the generated Mixamo FBX motion file into my UE5 Project directory and configured the UE5 Import window that appeared to target the specific Skeleton I want to add the motion to. This worked in UE5!

I also tested some FBX motion files I got from Unity in the past and they were imported successfully in Blender using the CC/iC Tool. But the Bones are quite small so I tried resizing them using the Graph Editor... The CC/iC Tool broke and displayed some errors related to Python when I press the Preview Retarget button. I also tried importing some free animations from MOCAP Online and the Bones exploded upon import. I remembered there are still limitations when using the CC/iC Tool with regards to importing animations. Only the  animations taken from the following sources are compatible:
I then recalled what AutoDidact said:
"However retargeting external motion to the rigify control rig  is not as easy and there  is no built in rigify retargeting tool so you have to use one the third party retargeters like the free Rokkoko or Expy kit addon. ARP has built in  retargeting templates for all of the major character systems. And I personally like the the viewport rig controllers alot better than the ones with rigify.".

So I searched some more and found UEFY 2.0 which is about US$30. It works only with Rigify. But it looks like Auto-Rig Pro has more features and therefore more value at US$40.  If I will be using one of these, I wonder if they're compatible with the CC/IC Tools.

If using only Mixamo motions in UE5, it looks like this made it a lot easier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrPpwjX5eLU
It will probably work with custom characters uploaded in Mixamo site too! 

This is not what I meant.
If you can retarget the Mixamo skeleton to the CC character by creating a Rig file in UE5, you can retarget the mixamo animations to the CC character.
I am not sure if it will work well as this is not something I have tried before.

Or you can retarget thy mixamo and CC3 skeletons to the UE4 mannequin.
Thus, you can use the animations of both systems.
However, you can only use these animations as they are.
You still need Blender to produce a different animation.
So your only solution seems to be to properly import the character from Blender into UE5.
