If anyone is interested in testing the plug-in, please let me know! It's just me as the solo developer, so I would really appreciate people trying it before I release it properly LOL.

What I mean is, you can’t apply metahuman animator animation to cc4 characters or anything else and then render them outside of Unreal. All animation derived from MetaHuman Animator must be applied to a MetaHuman before rendering, and then rendered only inside Unreal Engine. With MHA you can click to read their terms of service. And that’s how I read it. But it’s not 100% clear! but to me It’s like when they make MetaHuman scene files available in Maya format (which they still do), but you can’t render in Maya legally. You can animate inside Maya, but then you have to go to unreal. They want all MetaHuman and MetaHuman Animator stuff rendered only within Unreal. Luckily the iClone to unreal workflow is fantastic! So as long as you import the MHA animation then don’t render, but rather animate in iClone then transfer to unreal for rendering, I believe that is AOK! But that is not a legal opinion. I can’t get a clear answer unfortunately - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - virtualfilmer.com \| youtube Edited Last Year by mrtobycook

Clear is that MHs have to be rendered in UE. Epic is taking care of Meta Humans but the input of MHA is your own content generated by the engine. Edited Last Year by Bassline303

As you can see Reallusion does everything it can to make use of their software very easy and quick to learn. That's why I would never produce film with Unreal because it is impossible by a one man Band. However I would be willing to learn how to do a facial mocap in unreal if your plugin would import the face animation into Iclone and then save it into IMotionPlus and apply it to all my CC4 characters in Iclone. I have already bought the mocapHelmet from JSFILMZ and I am ready to invest in an Iphone 12, I am also ready to buy the helmet with camera from FACEGOOD which is compatible with MetaHuman. MetaHuman's quality facial mocap is the only thing I need to be able to produce my movies in Iclone. I now master PopCorn particles and I can assure you that Iclone 8 is really surprising.
