I exported a simple rectangular prism with several segments from Blender.  I created a simple weight map.  Then I attached it to my character's head, and applied the weight map, applied physics, and although the prism is attached to the character's head, and the prism is attached to the head, it has no physics properties applied when I play the animation in CC4.  I created a short video showing what I did and why it's not doing what I think it should be doing. 

Here's the video:

Can anyone help me figure out why my prism is not showing physics properties ? 

 

Physic effects don't show in Character Creator, you need to try this in iClone.

You can check this with a character like Camila with skirt for example and apply a motion. You will see that the hair and the skirt are stiff.

Ok awesome, thank you.! Very helpful.   I have the new CC4 but my iClone is the old one that was bundled with my CC3 pipeline. 

In other words, I used to have CC3 Pipeline bundled with iClone 7.  
NOW I have CC4 and iClone 7 and there is no direct way to export to iClone7 that I can see. 

So there's no "open in iClone" button anymore ......
I exported it just as an FBX and when I imported it to iClone, the character looks good and the animation is there,  but the accesory is fused to the top of his head, with no physics applied. It's one solid mesh without any distigsuishable parts, so I cannot separate the accessory from the model. 

Do I need to somehow "upgrade" to the new "pipeline" ?  ( I had 'pipeline' before  but now i don't have it anymore ) .  Thanks in advance. 

I assume you do not have 3DXchange 7? If you do, you can import via 3DXchange and save as a prop.

You can then attach the prop to the character in iClone 7, which will make it an accessory.

You can then do as before, applying the weight map, etc., and then see how it behaves in iClone 7, which would tell you if it works as expected.

What is your ultimate goal with this? How are you going to use the CC4 character?

Thanks, 4u2ges, for giving a better answer...

I'm still trying to catch up with what is possible in CC4...

4u2ges thank you !  I had not even noticed those buttons on that bar..... that 100% works and gives me exactly what I needed. Thank you so much.
