Smit_R (3/18/2024)
Hi there, I'm experiencing some issues with retargeting from CC4/Iclone8 to Blender. I've imported a model and rigified the armature using the plugin. Saved the file. Normally I could export an animation from Iclone and use the retarget function with retarget shapekeys without any problems. But after opening the .blend file again, this is not possible anymore. I've updated the plugin some days ago, but I'm not sure wether the update is causing this problem?This is something which I've done many times without any problems, so I'm kinda stumbled at this point. Does someone else also experiencing this and more importantly: how to solve this? Thanks in advance If something has gone missing after saving and reloading, it's probably been purged as it wasn't in use by anything or not set to fake user.

Small update to fix Blender 4.1 import crash, as they have removed the auto-smooth normals option from meshes now. Github: Github Project Page - Releases 2.0.6- Restored Rigify retarget limb correction utilities.
- Fix to Blender 4.1 import crash caused by 4.1 removing auto-smoothed normals.

jd_ionson (3/15/2024) Hi Victor, I was asked to contact you by Rampa at technical support. I'm getting weird distortions with cc4 characters in blender when motion blur is on (when it's off everything is fine). Some polygons just seem to get stretched way too much or something. I've watched a bunch of youtube videos on motion blur troubleshooting, but none of those solutions helped. I have a blend file were the issue is particularly prominent. reducing the motion blur settings reduce the prominence of the distortions, but they are still present. In the photos below all cc4 characters have the same animation applied, but the distortions happen to each at different times and in different ways. However if I re-render the same frame the distortions do not change, even if I close blender and re-open the file. Oh, and none of this is present in the viewport at any time (but I guess the viewport doesn't apply motion blur, so that makes sense. That's all I can think of at the moment... Thanks!
I was having this exact same problem, and for me, the culprit ended up being auto smooth. It's apparently not an issue when an entire mesh is moving, but when you have the geometry distorting, like with a character or using Animall, the auto smooth calculations and motion blur calculations don't mix. I'm a beginner to intermediate level user, but if you Google "auto smooth" and "motion blur," you'll likely find more in-depth explanations and options for solutions to see if they fit your scenario.

Hi, just a quick question. has the Limb Correction section been removed from Import Animation area? Or has it moved elsewhere? Or is it not necessary anymore? Thanks in advance.

I am using the Iclone 8 with the CC3 Blender tools, also configure the rig using rigify. My problem happens when I try to Append the rig in a new file (to one of my animation files for example). The rig doesn't work or even the plugin find the previews created rig. I tried to find on Blender/ Iclone / Plugin documentation / youtube videos, and none of the techniques worked at all. I need help so I can refine my animation before rendering in Blender Cycles. Thanks in advance
