I was inquiring about the same a while ago, but never got an answer, so I found a vendor that allows the output to be fully owned by the user, creating an avatar with AI from just a selfie, similar to what Headshot does but with a more liberal license.  It has blendshapes, clean topology, & embedded clothing/accessories assets export options in OBJ, FBX, GLTF.
You'll have to be incorporated to use the software, & the clothes accessories can not be sold without the accompanying avatar, which is their only requirement.

AI such as Lumalabs Genie outputs entire 3D models, including humanoids, with just a text prompt, which can have accessories attached in CC4, & rigged in AccuRIG, leaving only the blendshapes to be desired, with some modeling work in Zbrush, I'm sure this can be taken care of.  They are not the most UV optimized but for "FREE" you can't beat that, & again the output is user-owned.

So, my question is, how do I obtain the RL license for IP ownership of my output?  I saw this IP ownership change reflected in an updated EULA, but there is no further information on obtaining such a license.

My target users are in the blockchain/web3/NFT space, where RL doesn't even have a presence at the moment, & the format is .VRM avatar format,
which is an open standard for self-contained virtual reality avatars, which RL doesn't support the export of natively, so we're not competing in any marketplace.

VRM exports through a Unity SDK that embeds accessories & licenses customized for each avatar usage rights, packed into a single file, & supported by several hundred apps, games, & metaverse worlds.  I'm sure RL can reach a happy medium with this customizable license structure to allow sales of .VRM embedded avatar outside of their marketplace for gamer use cases, & not content-creating use cases.

The character/avatar landscape is rapidly changing & I've outgrown RL's limited EULA when it comes to commercial usage, being a user since iClone 2.0, & giving many suggestions on improving their software over the decades, coming from traditional comp-sci education in computer animation, every one of my suggestions is now incorporated into RL products, helping amateurs achieve professional results without the $60k student loan debt I incurred, just to be called a pro, lol.  Hopefully, RL will get with the signs of the times & adjust their EULA to reflect such times or be left behind.

There are CC0 sublicenses that allow for redistribution sales of assets built off base assets.
Maybe this time it won't be ignored, because users are beginning to wise up when it comes to ownership of our output work.

I wasnt aware that this requires CC4,4.

Though i have my thoughts that there may be compatibility issues when for example using an fbx from CC4,4 with blender.
Because of the new fbx format seems to be different, how would blender know its different to an FBX from CC4,3 or earlier ?

I'm not really sure why you want to import the bases in CC4 as the bases are already included in CC4.

However, you should have no problem importing them (I just tested and there were no issues using File > Import FBX). They will import as Humanoid but the character bases are Standard Characters so can be imported as such. The included FBXKey will work for this process.

Please Note: There was a character base issue with the initial release so do make sure you have downloaded the bases again if you are having problems.

Do also check out the Getting Started tutorial below which should answer any questions you may have.

Full-facial and body Rigs for Posing and Motion Control

Distinguishing itself from other bases on the market, CC character bases feature exceptionally balanced topology, making them not only ideal for animation but also for morph design and sub-divisional sculpting. Additionally, they come pre-loaded with 150 facial morphs meticulously crafted for expressive and accurate lip-sync animation.

Those chars dont move their mouth when using a voice example animation in CC4. ( body animation do work though )

Can someone explain the exact steps i need to take in order to import them and get their mouth moving ?
This is how i imported them (Import fbx->Humanoid (non standard, CC Avatar doesnt work, no valid fbx key)
Cant be too hard can it, or are they are not supposed to open their mouth ?

There is no value if you already own CC3/CC4 as those character bases (except cartoon bases in CC3) shipped with it.

So it's like a demo for potential RL customers.So it's like a demo for potential RL customers.

Hi Robert,
Yes, all those characters are CC3+ bases introduced in CC3 (except cartoons, which came later in CC4).
Cheers

BTW, Female character still has problems with shaders in Blender.
