Well, that's pretty impressive, but still, without having invested in DAZ already, this doesn't motivate to do so. At this point I'm not making animations, I'm making renders for comic projects, and DAZ seems like pretty much just another headache and expense. Good to know that their export to Blender utility is messed up, though.

thanks all 😻
next sale if I have money I will look into it as I largely load imotion and imotion plus files on my 3DX6 imports then export them to Carrara and UE4 to render anyway
I do the occasional quick animation in iC6 too but in theory the CC3 FBX imports should also import as nonstandard characters in 3DX6 too for that
Carrara is pretty good at loading FBX just blendshapes not supported but I could recreate them with obj morphs and it has its own mimic importer that can use Carrara nonlinear animation of morphs for visemes, not unlike expression editor
Poser is a possibility there too, I import iAvatars into that with blendshapes
iC7 may be eventually on the cards I just cannot afford it all at once.
After all I want Cartoon Animator too and so many other things ...

Hi Wendy

Yes Character Creator 3 Pipeline is a standalone product with full export capability (you don't need 3DXchange).

CC3 Pipeline became a standalone character creator with direct export options to various target applications. This was to make it attractive for game developers.

One thing though, CC3 characters are not compatible with iClone 6, but if you do your stuff elsewhere that would not matter.

Wendy, I hope your economic prospects improve!

so you can use CC3 by itself?
I never really figured out all the dependencies as previous stuff needed iClone
I am on iC6 pipeline and a low income so fully upgrading to 7 even on sale pretty much impossible for me at least until the economy picks up (I lost 30K🙀)
but if CC3 is standalone I could plausibly use it with Carrara, UE4 and other apps
I export a lot of my iC6 stuffs to Carrara for Octane anyway

Well, that kinda makes sense... since I don't use iClone, it doesn't make sense for me. For me, CC3 is about creating characters, I'm not even going to render anything in CC3. 

Quoted for complete agreement. 👍

Mostly, I think it's because DAZ has the largest library of pre-built assets available. A lot of users want to animate the characters they've created in DAZ, but DAZ Studio isn't the best application when it comes to being a hobbyist and budding animator. So most DAZ users were sitting there with an impressive library of chracters, props and other assets that they couldn't use for animation. Being able to port them to CC3 makes it possible for them to bring their characters to life, so to speak --at least that's the way I see it. I'm sitting on top of a DAZ runtime that's about 500GB in size that have all kinds of figures that I have amassed over the years. People would not want to just leave all that behind so the best option is to provide a path for them to get the shapes into iClone where it's easy to animate.
