And I did map that bone to the jaw correctly - it opens and closes just fine in the Edit Facial Characteristics. So I don't know why it doesn't work properly. I was kind of hoping Mr. G would weigh in but maybe I'll first look exactly at his videos and then if I don't see something I'll make a video showing my exact process here (which is essentially the same as bringing the Daz cat in - except the face just doesn't work properly the way it does with the cat).

We're on the same page now. I'll stay tuned. If I had a Genesis9_Male_iCloneFaceKey.duf I would try it. https://manual.reallusion.com/Character-Creator-4/Content/ENU/4.0/09-Pipeline/Full-Conversion-for-DAZ-Genesis-8-Characters.htm "Less clicks good, more clicks bad."

The jaw bone movement is the thing. How do you recommend adding that? "Less clicks good, more clicks bad."

And frankly you do not need visemes there. For characters, RL ONLY imports morphs in CC through Face Editor when you import them manually AFTER you import the character. You only need Genesis9 Facial and Genesis9 Mouth (those are for the teeth) viseme sets. You then translate those to respective RL visemes (other tweaking might require). I have not done that as I had no needs. But generally, you dial the DAZ viseme, then go to RL visemes and click the lightning bolt icon next to the respective viseme. Done. And if you need series of specific Body Morphs for animating those in iClone, I will put a routine for G9 later on. Now we begin. - If I import the figure into CC4 as a Prop, the Facial Editor is not available. - If I import the figure into CC4 as a Creature, the Facial Editor is not available. - If I try to import the figure into CC4 as a Humanoid, Characterization will fail due to the G9 structure. The Facial Editor is not available. - If I import the figure into iClone, then use Edit in Character Creator, Characterization will fail due to the G9 structure. The Facial Editor is not available. I'm out of guesses. Please tell me how you imported the figure to CC4. How did you get the Facial Editor to be available? "Less clicks good, more clicks bad."

OK so this is a prequel exporting from DAZ and importing to CC4 The rest in the other video. And making regular blend shapes also shown here (that is also G9): https://forum.reallusion.com/FindPost547907.aspx

You might want to look at this link: https://forum.reallusion.com/FindPost547990.aspx Others are as confused as I am. You may be the only one who knows how to deal with this issue.

At some point, soon, I will resort to using a non-speaking tiger in my scene. If I have to do this, the fault will be RLs, no one elses. Pictures of a screen with no text to back it up don't always teach much. I can learn to dig a hole from a video, but playing the piano is too sophisticated for video alone. You know so much that you may have forgotten what it is to know nothing. Seeing through the other person's eyes can be very difficult. This popup is a bit misleading. I believed it. A properly converted humanoid does not have problems with speech. Second to render speed, speech is the greatest strength of this software. "Less clicks good, more clicks bad."

And now I did out of curiosity.. 2 minutes and I got the Lahr as CC3+ Now you see why I was so puzzled why you were not just “transforming” ( AKA shape projecting) onto a CC character as we users of the “old” CC3 are still doing with all manners of animals & alien morphed genesis 1,2,3,8 figures Nothing special about animal head morphed genesis figures unless they rely on unsupported Daz tech like geographs or daz “dforce “hair etc. RAG DOLL COLLISION ANIMATIONS FOR ICLONE 8 & 7 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ghost Origins My latest Feature length film created with Iclone.
