The script looks promising!
Does it also work with Game Base and combined textures?
I think i remember that there were always many duplicate textures with this method...does its not good to just drag the whole export folder in to unity.

Hello Miranda! Thank you for this great update and also for the new workflow videos!
Tell your great Team to take all the time they need. Better something versatile and
usable that will work for a long time than something rushed.

Best and have a great weekend,
Tobias

To answer Mohab Rizkallah's comments form Tutorial - Setting Up LOD for CC3 Characters in Unity 3D.

Question: Each one of the LODs has its own bone structure, which makes an issue with the character controller

Answer: It's true that each LOD avatar exported from CC has its own bone structure.
You can go to Maya or other 3D tool to merge the meshes:

Hi Mohab, davidaranzabal, and Alexxander,

Please be noted that this is a temporary solution before CC3 supports exporting one FBX with one skeleton & some LOD meshes. We will keep improving the functions to meet your needs.

Hi, I tried exporting a character using the tutorial provided. I'm on Windows 10, Unity 2018.0.3f2 
The hair looks too transparent. It's using the "fade" shader setting. Looks the same in game view. 
I'm using "Conforming hair, vol 2 - Long center part"

Example of what I'm talking about: test image

Thanks,
M

This CC_Character_Auto_Settings_Unity script is buggy, please fix it ASAP. When I use this script/plugin with any other Unity asset that I copy over or import from the store they become broken. This script/plugin is relocating/moving images that have nothing to do with the CC_Assets folder.

I struggled for a long time with making Reallusion character hair look good in Unity. Cutoff does usually look better than the weird transparency associated with Fade.  The problem is, it just doesn't really look all that good either.  I found that the only way to get good looking hair was to use a 3rd party shader specifically designed for hair.  I am currently using a shader called "Hair Basic" that comes with the "Hair Shader" asset by TAEGC.  There may be others as well, but this is the first one I tried.  It looks WAY better and has controls to dial it in however you want - certain hairs require a little fiddling but I've always been able to get good results.

Hi rjhayle,

this is after downloading the one you said which is the same as I had this time I tried both top and second one down both failed also opened the graphics settings it just shows the default graphic setting because the package failed and it will not let me add it to it.i will reply the pic after this message

Hi,
I know the readme says "Put your character files in this folder", but is it fine if I make a folder for each character inside CC_Assets, and then drag all of the CC3 fbx files and texture folders there? My folder hierarchy would look like this:

Assets
   CC3_Assets
      MyCharacter
           [Drag the all of the files here]

Im trying to get this to work in Unity on the android platform. but it doesnt seem to work, even though there is an option in the script to include it in the android platform.

I just tried the export from CC3.03 to Unity3D 2018.3.3f1 with HDRP following your tutorial and using your setup script. I'm using Unity High Definition RP package version 4.9.0 released 2019-01-28. The materials mapping does not work as I end up with a prefab that's all white.

michael.pickering (2/5/2019)

---

Just as a further note on the import problem, it appears not to be related to the version of Unity. Instead, there are two problems with the Export from CC3 itself. The first problem was that I had an outfit on the character that had its shader type in CC set to "Traditional" and for some reason this caused the textures not to be exported at all. I corrected this but was then left with another problem, which I believe is caused by the levels of subdirectories that are being created for the textures. This seems to cause a problem on import in which the textures folders in Unity are left empty, which results in the Materials all getting set up as default grey. I don't know how to fix this yet.

I can't seem to use the appearance editor on the game eyes is there a work around?

Can you help to specify which tutorial video?

Jbowdoin (2/12/2019)

yeah the second video at 1:15 and the third video at 5:00 that were in the fist post of the thread  I grabbed the game eyes they suggest but cant edit the iris (or ant thing else)

ok thanks 

will the editor support them wen the update for CC3 skin hit?

I seem to have run into bug:

1.Drag the exported folder which contains .fbm, textures, .fbx to the CC_Assets Folder (works fine).
2. Delete the folder.
3.Drag the exported folder which contains .fbm, textures, .fbx to the CC_Assets Folder (no longer working).

Hi Miranda,

Thanks to you and the team for all the work on the Unity Auto-Setup Script and the general Unity pipeline improvements, especially for the HDRP! This is definitely moving the product in a great and useful direction!!

I noticed some of the comments about how the script was automatically setting Unity to use a linear colour space. While I appreciate that this was viewed as 'forcing us' to use a linear colour space and thus undesireable, I think there is a real need for a deeper discussion and some guidance around how to ensure that what is seen in CC3 gets mapped as closely as possible into the Unity scene, especially using the HD rendering pipeline. As far as HDRP leading practices go, it seems to me that the basic reason for wanting to use Unity's HDRP is to gain access to its 4K and High Dynamic Range colour rendering capabilities. Thus, while there may indeed be reasons to want to use the HDRP with an sRGB colour space, by doing so we will lose the ability to access the wider, higher dynamic range of colours that are renderable with HDR.

This leads me to my main question about how to setup rendering in CC3 with the goal of achieving reasonably reproducible colours between CC3 and the exported characters after import into Unity HDRP via the automated script. Simply stated, I'm not sure that it makes sense to even try to reproduce the lighting setup I'll be using in Unity inside CC3. However, if HDR and a linear colour space is used in CC3, it seems like colours should be rendered similarly in both environments, barring an unusual lighting setup.

There seem to be many places in CC3 where it's possible to check a box to select an sRGB (narrow and nonlinear) colour space. There are also many places where either Traditional or PB rendering can be chosen. Is there perhaps a way that we can get an 'autosetup for HDR export' script to set or reset all these things at once? Another way of looking at this is, what are the leading practices around setting up CC3 so as to ensure a closer match to the look that will result from exporting from CC3 using the Unity HDRP pipeline and setup script? Are there some cases when Traditional or PB rendering should be chosen to achieve a better result?

TIA!

Mike

michael.pickering (4/12/2019)

Hi Miranda,
There's one more issue that I've noticed that needs to be addressed as part of the documentation of the export pipeline: that is the issue of clothing or skin poking through outer layers. I've been working quite painstakingly on editing the clothing using the CC3 instructions for conforming and hiding inner mesh, but it now appears that the "hiding" doesn't get applied as part of the Export! At a guess, this may work as expected if I apply the "delete hidden mesh" option on export, but this should be called out specifically in the Pipeline documentation.
Also I've found that there ARE some differences in the export process depending on whether the Traditional or PB renderer is selected per material in CC3! My initial impression is that this is a potentially useful feature as it can help us get closer to achieving a certain desired look in the 3D Engine, but there needs to be documentation made available that explains how these mappings work.

michael.pickering (4/22/2019)

---

Hi Miranda,
My expectation is simple: make it clear that the documented "Hide Mesh" functionality will ONLY work as part of the pipeline export to Unity if the "Delete Hidden Mesh" option is selected.
Quite honestly, some kind of option to merge layers into one single layer would work best, and should eliminate all the issues with inner mesh layers poking through during animation sequences.

Hi,
I'm having a couple of issues using the unity importer script.

The first one is that the script moves the textures from inside the textures  subfolders
and moves them under the "textures" folder itself.  Is this the normal behaviour? (It
feels similar to the earlier bug, where the script moved textures outside the assets folder.)

Second issue are double-sided shaders, does the script apply those autmatically or does that need to be done by hand.

A third question (not really an issue) is what happens if a part of your character has 
both specular maps and roughness maps exported in the texture folder.  What does
the importer script do in that case?  Does it take the original shader info from CC3.  If
so how does it do that?  Do you need to check the double sided setting in CC3 for it
to export a doublesided material?  Not sure if the .fbx format supports it. (just thinking
out loud here :))

Thanks for your help !

Using Beta 2 version of the import script for Unity, and Unity v2018.4.0f1 LTS, and Character Creator v3.04 Pipeline, character creator characters import with the hair messed up.  The hair is from Reallusion.  A few hair types will import correctly, but very few of them.  Most come in looking very different than what they looked like in CC and several only paint hair on the sides and back of the head, leaving the front and top bald.  I opened a ticket with support who closed it and said to post here as it was likely a shader bug that the devs would need to address.

Thanks for the information Miranda.  I'm however not using HDRP as it's still in preview.  So depth prepass isn't an option I can tweak.  Cutoff range is something I can tweak and it does offer some improvement.  I did find documentation on another developer's workflow for CC3 -> Unity and they recommended a hair shader on the Asset store https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/vfx/shaders/hair-shader-57226 which seems to be a better solution overall for hair out of CC3 over the standard shader when using the default renderer.  

I've also been able to deal with the double sided material, using the free double sided shader https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/vfx/shaders/double-sided-shaders-23087 which was recommended in one of the training videos I saw from Alex.

Lastly I'd recommend that RL offer more control over how meshes are handled.  I'd prefer not to always be forced to hide the mesh on export.  For example if I want a character to have two sets of clothes, say pants and shorts.  If I put both sets on the model, then due to hidden meshes being enforced on the export, if I disable the pants and enable the shorts inside of Unity for a clothing change, the character will have no lower legs due to those meshes being hidden on export because of the pants.  I realize there are times when you want the meshes to be hidden and times that you don't, and it's not easy to come up with a solution that meets everyone's need, but I'd much prefer to create my characters with several styles of clothing and hide them in Unity, over having to make multiple copies of the same model and pay the performance penalty for garbage collection and instantiation just to support multiple clothing styles.

Hi,

I'm wondering how I'm supposed to use the generated LODs of a character with animations in Unity.
Each LOD variant on a character has its own Animator component as well as a separate Avatar.
My issue right now is that when the LOD Group component (attached to the parent game object) changes the LOD variant the current animation stops.
It seems like I would have to "manually" transfer the current information to the now activate Animator component which appears quite tedious to me.

So my question is how is this setup meant to work with animations and LOD Group?

I'm using the latest CC3 and Unity Auto Setup plugin.

Thanks,
andgeno

can you please expand on what this means?
What is a "material ball"? and how do we click on them?

Known Issue: Unity Auto Setup does not refresh materials upon completion.  One must click on the individual material balls in order to refresh the visuals.

Is there a way to properly turn off auto-processing?
I need to change muscles settings (or T pose) and even if they are properly saved (apply -> done), auto-processing checks itself back again whenever I launch a preview.
My issue is that shoulders are way too high when using Female Movement Animset Pro or other FBX animation files.
Thanks for any tips

jdeep6 (11/29/2019)

Thank you but I'm aware of that. The issue is that it checks itself back again whenever I preview my scene.

Hi,
I'm trying to use the HDRP auto setup script, but the only way to use it is on macOS using unity 2019.2.20.
Under windows, I tried with unity 2018.4 (LTS), 2019.1.14 and 2019.2.20 but I always get a bad result, I do not understand why.
Here is a screenshot of what I get.
I need to export a unity package because I'm using unity 2019.3, it's fine if I need a longer pipeline of work, but at this moment I also need to change computer, switch on a mac, import then export and go back to the pc. This is not acceptable.
What is the problem I'm facing? How can I solve it?
I do not understand why looking at the properties of the materials seems to be all ok, but the final rendering (also in scene view) is something emitting light.
Thank you for your help.

astgeorge (2/14/2020)

Along the lines of the question above.  When is the Auto-Setup tool going to be updated for the latest version of Unity?  There seem to be some shader issues going on when importing characters, and it's getting to be a bit of a hassle to make a project in one version and then scale it up to the latest.

markrrand (2/18/2020)

My CC3 characters exhibit severe joint deformations when playing animations designed for Unity's humanoid rig. The deformations occur at rotations that are well within the range of normal human movement (and standard video game fare), such as supporting the front of a rifle. The png below is typical.
The animations I'm using work fine for any characters that use the standard Unity rig. The distortions also occur on the free sample character, Max, that Reallusion offers thru the Unity Asset store. (They're far less noticeable with Max because his proportions are cartoonish, If you look, though, it's clear that the degree of deformation is the same.)
I've tried several work-arounds, but with no success. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks.

The problem is that Albedo for all materials is set to black after import
I have to manually reset each material to white Albedo. However, I suspect that material looks over-whited after that.
As a workaround, I'm planning to write a script that sets all Albedos of all materials in object to white
This is a bit disappointing..

Hi Miranda. Do you have any ETA when we will have a version that actually works eith Unity 2019.3.13 and above in HDRP? It has been a month since the release of the last version and as you know there are many posts that clearly states that it does not work properly. I already reported this myself. I am really patient but we are a month later and we still did not hear about any fixes or new release. This is really disappointing.

Thank you for keeping us updated!

@Miranda

so I did some more testing with Unity 2019.4 today...

First of all it seems to work with URP. The character imports and materials look like having been correctly converted.
With HDRP I get strange, green shadows on the imported model (see screenshot).

I think the mistake I did first was to either embed textures on exporting and/or have the exported files moved into a subfolder before moving them into Unity.

Miranda (RL) (8/3/2020)

Hi avalonsutra,

We were aware of this issue, and made a note on the announcement on July 23. The workaround is like what denisionin suggested.
We are studying and plan to fix it in the Auto Setup v1.1.

Hi,

After carefully read everything here, unfortunately there is no success.
I could not import a CC3 model to Unity.
There is no base, normal, bent map linked to the skin body, for example. But everywhere the same this. Missing maps, textures, materials etc.

Unity ver: 2019.3.9f

I am using the current version of the auto setup script. The script runs, no error messages. But it seems everything just messed up.
Maybe there is something with the CC3 export?I have noticed the there should be a .fbm folder in the export, which is not in my export files.

Any help would be very appreciated! Thank you very much in advance!

Hello Miranda,

I have recently joined this community I have had a look for the question I want to ask and have not seen it asked already so...

When doing all of above or alternatively importing them into unity myself there is a considerable quality dip as the textures no longer have the same quality is this an issue on my side am I missing something here ?

The quality I can get in character creator and headshot vastly deteriorated in unity where as normally models are able to hold there visual fidelity when I use other tools?

Hope this gets an answer as I’m sure will help others too.

Dear Reallusion:
I have spent hundreds of dollars on your software. I use Unity for game development, which is one of two game engines you highlight as supporting throughout your site.
It has now been literally months since we have heard anything about making your software compatible with the latest LTS versions of Unity, particularly with HDRP and URP.
If you don't respond soon with explanations and solid plans, I suggest that all Unity devs demand a refund for all purchased software that's supposed to be "compatible" with Unity — because clearly it isn't.
You are engaging in blatant false advertising and terrible customer service, alienating the users of one of the two major game engines in the world.
Shame on you.
