1. Export a FBX character from Character Creator 3
2. Download and install the Auto-Settings Plugin
3. Import the FBX file into the Unreal Engine
4. Export motions for the character from CC3
5. Initialize the plugin and setup the character

1. Set the preset type to Unreal
2. Make sure to not activate Embed Textures as the plugin will automatically connect the material channels to the textures inside the export directory.
3. Match the frame rate to Unreal's at 30 frames per second.
4. Make sure that _OpenA_UE4 is the first motion in the list.  This is required for the plugin to perform skeleton re-targeting so that it becomes compatible with other standard character motions for CC G1 and Unreal. Please find the file from Reallusion\Template\Character Creator 3 Template\Motion\_Open A_UE4.rlMotion. 
• Exporting sequence of motion files depends on the file name in the current CC version, so you have to rename the _OpenA_UE4.rlMotion to 0_OpenA_UE4.rlMotion to make sure A-pose will be listed as the first one. From CC v3.04 onwards, exporting sequence will be same as what you set up in Character Creator.
• From the future version (not firmed), the A-pose will be automatically added as the first motion file when exporting motions.

1. Choosing the right plugin.
• Check the Unreal Engine version number and choose the plugin version to match.
  
• Make sure to not put more than 1 plugin inside the same directory -delete any preexisting plugins.
  
• Currently, only version 4.20 and 4.21 of Unreal are supported.
  
  
  
  
2. Download and install the plugin.
• The download location is as follows:
• There are two ways to install:
1. Put the RL plugin folder inside the Plugins folder for Unreal Engine.
   
   
   
2. Put the RL plugin folder inside the Plugins folder for the specific U.E. project (make a new folder by the same name if it doesn't already exist).
   
   
   
3. Initialize the Unreal Engine RL plugin and restart the application.
• Open up Unreal Editor and browse the plugins list to enable the CC_Character_Auto_Settings plugin.
• Restart the Unreal Editor after initializing the said plugin.
  

If the RL plugin folder is inside the Plugins folder for Unreal Engine:


If the RL plugin folder is inside the Plugins folder for the specific U.E. project:
 

1. Import the FBX file into the Content Browser.
• Make sure to create a separate folder for every new character to prevent conflicts with existing assets with the same names.
• When two assets have conflicting names, the latter one imported will be ignored.
• Alternatively, you can drag the entire parent folder into the Content Browser.
  
  
  
2. Adjust the settings for the FBX import.
• Pay attention to the following parameters:
• Enable Skeletal Mesh.
• Enable Import Mesh.
• Select None for the Skeleton drop-down list.
• Enable T0As Ref Pose.
• Enable Import Morph Targets.
• Select Import Normals and Tangents for the Normal Import Method.
• Enable Import Animations.
• Select Animated Time for the Animation Length.
• Enable Use Default Sample Rate.
• Import All supports multiple FBX files.  Since we are only importing one FBX file at a time in this guide, you can use either Import or Import All.
  
  
  
3. Perform Save All to commit the new content (from memory).
   
   
   
4. Execute the RL plugin for CC auto-setup.
• Select the skeletal mesh from the Content Browser and click on the CC Auto-Setup button.
