    • Select "Multi frame export" 
    • Keep the Frame Range as default

  3. Set up the Export Options
    • Load preset: choose Unity5
      https://forum.reallusion.com/uploads/images/f6c04f44-f80e-4bf2-b0df-0318.png

    • Uncheck the option "Bake transparency to diffuse texture alpha"

  4. Click the OK button to export FBX file
  5. Import the FBX file by pressing the Transformer button in Character Creator
  6. Select the "BASIC" mode to start the conversion
    *Please note the "ADVANCED" mode won't work with characters exported from Poser because of the different texture saving structure.

  7. You can refer to Online Manual or Tutorial to continue the settings

Known Issues & Workaround

  1. You may find some objects became invisible after using Transformer, which is caused by Poser automatically setting the Opacity value to zero if there is texture in Opacity channel when exporting FBX.
    To solve this issue:
    Select the object, go to Material Setting on the Modify Panel, and adjust the Opacity value to 100.

  2. Importing clothes with invalid skin data will cause Character Creator to crash.
    There is no positive workaround at the moment. We will update the program to accommodate these kind of files in a future patch.

perfect update but I have a question, is it possible to work on the compatibility of the bones with the architecture of unreal engine 4? for example there are bones that are not
such as IK Foot root
Ik Hand root
also the main bone that would be Root
there are some arm bones that are not necessary for unreal

Will there be support for other Poser Figures like Alyson, Ben, or SydneyG2 etc.?

Thanks for the suggestions. We will certainly be looking at supporting other popular character types but nothing is confirmed as yet.

Project Evolution would be a great thing to support!

We are certainly looking at ways to improve compatibility in UE4. Can you explain more about the arm bones that are not necessary? Are you referring to the twist bones?

Unfortunately we don't have any immediate plans to support these figures but we will consider supporting more character profiles in the future.

This process works great! But when I add a motion to Victoria 4 in iC7 and export a .BVH back to poser through 3DX, She seems to 'Drift' along the X and Z axis'. Any thoughts?

https://forum.reallusion.com/uploads/images/3f18ccc2-4066-4e50-a19f-6e31.pngHey every one...just joined and bought Character generater pipeline. When attempting to import/transform a V4.2 from Daz 4.9 with morphs I'm getting this crazy distortion. When starting with just V4.2 without morphs I get the model as expected, any ideas? Warmest Ray

Once I get into CC3 I don't know which base to use for Poser V4/M4 https://forum.reallusion.com/uploads/images/1d7453f1-4f63-4b47-8206-ef50.png4/M4 each time I use the process and begin the transform the process fails. Could you post the step-by-step of the Transformer Process beginning with when we bring the character into CC3 from Poser? Thank you.
