My workflow is CC4 to iC8 then to Unity. I export the character models and animations separately so they can be accessed as needed VIA interaction in Unity.
Currently CC4 has the function to export only animation, but, this is also really needed in iClone 8. 

Yes! I'm confused why this feature isn't available in the actual animation authoring software?

Very relevant for those who want to use other renderer like Unreal Engine, Unity, Blender or Maya as their render engine.
