It does say at the top of the Read-me in each repository where it is installed.

I've added some more info to the release pages:

Blender: Add-on releases.
CC4/iClone: Plug-in releases.

The release pages are the best place to get them from.

I was trying to load the folder and not the .zip. I had downloaded on my Mac and it automatically uncompressed and threw away the .zip. I transferred the uncompressed folder to PC... TMI but being stupid is easy.
I think I'll go hit myself in the head with a hammer a few times. Might be more fun....
Thanks again.  do wish there was more current documentation and tutorials, though.

Thanks again, appreciate the info and patience. I jus sent a reply a minute ago letting you know I worked it out.

Hello, 
Thank you for the plugin, I have an issue with reimporting to CC/iC though with animation changes.
My steps are :
Exporting the character from CC4 with the Blender Plug-in with an animation on the character.
Importing to Blender with the Add-on. The animation works well.
Rigify the character with the plug-in and change the animation.
Exporting a motion.fbx with the "Export Motion" in the "Rigging & Animation" category with bone naming "CC Base" and "include T-pose" on.
Import external motion to CC4/iC on the initial character with Motion T-pose on and set to the motion.fbx.

I end up with the animation rotated to a 90° angle, which is not a major issue but the animation is also jittering.
Here is a walk animation reimported to CC/iC, the weird jump moment is the change I made to test the feature.
I would be very greatful to get a solution or a workaround.
Thank you.

Firstly don't export as CC Base. Export as Metarig.
(See the tool tips when hovering over the export options)

In addition: when importing external motions into CC4 from Rigify:

• Uncheck select root bone.
• Load the motion fbx into the T-pose. (which you are)
  
• Load the .3dxProfile exported with the motion into the motion profile.

I see version b has fixed this, thank you :)

Hi,
Just downloaded the new versions and updated both Blender (4.1) and CC4 but I now receive this error. Assuming this is a bug?

always pop up this error message once i import character from cc
restart the computer/ reinstall the add-on or reinstall the blender can't help
Could you fix this problem? Thanks!

It is indeed a bug, and it should be fixed in 2.1.5, but it's in a section of code that should never really be reached. Only if the json data is corrupted is this code ever reached. So whilst this problem should be fixed, you may have more problems with that character in future.

I've only seen that happen a few times and it was down to bad collider data in the character. I had to replace all the colliders to resolve it.
