3.Hi-Fi Textures for the Head & Body

Head & Body Texture 

Transferring textures from CC to Unreal allows you to create MetaHumans that have striking resemblance to your original character design. It also supplements skin details to MetaHuman body and hands.



Skin Effects & Dynamic Wrinkles

We provide advanced tools that surpass the basic MetaHuman skin editor, including the powerful SkinGen utility that effectively integrates Realistic Human Skin into the face, such as scars, acne, moles, face paint, and Makeup & SFX. The Dynamic Wrinkle System complements these utilities, making it effortless to create digital actors that are truly lifelike.




4.Full Ownership over Unmatched Likeness

MetaHumans that have evolved from CC avatars are completely compatible with face and body control rigs in Unreal. In addition to enjoying cross-platform compatibility, characters generated in this manner are solely owned by you.

>> Know more: CC avatars





5.Enrich Animations with iClone & Character Creator


Live Link

Having MetaHumans talk, emote, and perform on command remains a roadblock for most animators. Fortunately, iClone MetaHuman Live Link offers a comprehensive solution to animate bodies, faces, and lips within a single application.

Data Link

iClone motions can be applied to both UE characters and MetaHumans through the standard IK rig-and-retargeting process. The Data Link function eliminates the need for time-consuming FBX export and import, thereby accelerating the process of updating Unreal animations with CC.

Great feature.
The texture of the CC character has been made very easy to apply to the meta-human character.
I really congratulate the Reallusion team.
The Reallusion team is constantly adding great features to the programs.
Well, I want to ask an important question that everyone will be curious about.
Will the restrictions of Reallusion licenses apply when we apply textures to the metahuman character?
Because everything else except texture belongs to Epic Game.
I feel like it's going to be a licensing mess.
My guess is that only texture customization will fall under license restriction.

Also, it would be great if there is support for Vroid characters. Smile

Great great news. I see that Kevin metahuman has the CC4's  clothes, does it mean it's possible to transfer clothed CC4 to clothed MH ? that would be a real game changer

This is fantastic!

The examples are 3D scanned (like Kevin), and at the moment that’s the secret to making great CC characters. Otherwise, the current slider system and/or headshot process ends up with below average results.

So I can’t wait for mesh to cc to be released! (With the new headshot) To me that’s the important thing, otherwise I don’t need to go from cc to metahuman. Does that make sense? Smile

Hi Charlie,
I didn't even notice that.
But you're right he's wearing Kevin's clothes.
That would be great if we could transfer the CC4 clothing.
Without big problems.😀

No, I see that with the current system only CC4 textures can be applied to metahuman characters.
If you notice, the clothes are not the same Smile
As far as I can see, the Metahuman outfit is set to a color similar to Kevin's outfit colors.
The character in the other video is already Kevin himself.
