But it would be easier with a UI tab, that’s all I’m saying. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 75% of original size (was 667x19) - Click to enlarge virtualfilmer.com \| youtube

Didn't saw her... 2- Does NIA have all the metahuman blendshapes ? If yes , That's mean we can import the Metahuman Animator data with the Tobby plugin ? 1. NIA Character is a sample project for UE only , as far as I know. 2. Good question , I think Toby knows it better than me ... Toby ? CC Characters don't have the same morphs as MH but nearly the same ( except bone driven facials ) so the new Control Rig translate it. MH and CC have the same CR now , so you can transfer the CR Data between them. Thanks for your answer. In this reallusion video at 2:06 Kai shows NIA inside CC4 and export her in UDK. So that's why I thought that now it is possible to use NIA in Iclone and use the Tobby plugin to import MetaHuman facial animation. I don't understand why reallusion forces itself to conform characters to the metahuman format rather than create characters in Metahuman format from the start in CC4.... As Tobby said , it is sooooo much easier to animate in Iclone rather UDK.

I would assume Reallusion wants to “own” their way of making characters. If they put metahumans in iClone they would have to pay Epic, which means the price of the software would go up. So I’m ok with it as it is. :) The biggest problem is the CC face BREAKS. That is, if you combine certain sliders (even of the normal face expressions) the mesh splits and the whole thing falls apart. The metahuman face NEVER breaks - no matter what combination of sliders you use. It’s a fundamental difference. Thats the core to why my plugin is so difficult - because it has to try not to “break” the iClone face when applying metahuman face data. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 75% of original size (was 667x19) - Click to enlarge virtualfilmer.com \| youtube

MH is a total different system with over 600 facial bones and for UE only. As Tobby said , it is sooooo much easier to animate in Iclone rather UDK. True , but there are a lot of CC4 users without IClone and they are using the Characters for Game Play.

You are so good at stuff, and I always learn so much when you record them!!! I am def improving with sequencer but not the best Maya and iClone are just so much easier! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 75% of original size (was 667x19) - Click to enlarge virtualfilmer.com \| youtube

I only use the CR for cleaning up, change animations and share control rigs. Feeding_wolves has a lot of videos about it. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=feeding+wolves+metahuman

I was trying for two weeks to migrate the UE5 control rig to my CC4 characters and this arrived just in time. But I have one "small" issue when baking existing animations into the control rig. The first frame of the baked animation have the Spine1 control and neck2 control off in the z axis (Up) let me show you : https://youtu.be/WolTQi66u-k its a weird thing, any tip on how to fix this ? UE5 control rig
