- Added: iC / CC and UE Physics Mapping: Character, accessory, props, soft-cloth, and collision shape settings are sent to UE and data is then mapped.
- Enhanced: Shortened the texture names and file paths (by removing " pbr / tra / Transparency ") to conform with Windows API limitation of 256 characters.
- Enhanced: Shortened AutoSetup Material file path (changed "Material_instances" to "Materials").

- Enhanced: LODs are now placed within the same FBX file and will automatically be configured by the plugin when loaded. The FBX file must be prepared with a special LOD group format.
- Enhanced: Structural change for Reallusion Unreal Light Weight, High Quality, and Standard shaders. This updated structure now supports diffuse color, tiling, strength, offset, opacity, and two sided.
- Fixed: When the sampler type is set to linear color during node creation, instead of using greyscale, the TGA image file becomes indexed color causing a read error.
- Enhanced: Add mask on LW Shader and HQ Shader as the workaround of tessellation issue. (see details HERE)
Beta 2.0 (April 9th, 2019) - Compatible with CC3.04 or above Beta 2.0 (March 15th, 2019) - Compatible with CC3.04 or above- Enhanced: Simplified script execution procedure -- please find this post for detailed instructions

- You can now use the Import Button to bring FBX files into Unreal.
- Added: Customized Unreal Digital Humans shaders for hair, eyes, tongue, teeth, and skin. The skin will come with two shaders:
- HQ skin shader (high quality): using Unreal Digital Human as a base, we adjust the settings to up the ante on visual quality.
- LW skin shader (lightweight): based on the shaders from Epic Game's Paragon, we leverage their highly optimize skin shader without compromising visual quality.
- Added: Automatically split ORM textures into separate channel assignments for AO, Roughness, and Metallic.
- Added: Assign the equivalent UE materials based on what was deployed in CC3:
- Traditional -> Specular
- PBR -> Roughness & Metallic
- Fixed: Skeleton meshes for Motionplus will now be re-imported.
Beta 1.1 (Jan. 22nd, 2019)- Enhanced: add source of plugin for running C++ projects >> related issue

a good quality of life future improviment for this plugin and in general for the cc could be in the future we have the "ambient occlusion, roughness and metalic" maps being a simple map instead of 3 separated maps, unreal can work with all the 3 being used in the same map, substance paint have a o option for that, they can be put together in a simple "RBG" map, something like that:
you can place all that 3 texture maps in a single one reducing the amount of files needed per asset/character.
edit: to be clear this is not a perfect exemple and on that one the user switched the positon of the 2 links, you can do that in unreal if you want but the point is to show which is possible to have the 3 maps texture combined in a single one.

Tested it and the materials all very look good and it saves a a lot of time. But are the chars exported from CC3 to unreal compatible with motion exports from iclone ? I have tested 4 different facial animations from Iclone to unreal and none of them work with the CC3 char inside of unreal engine ?

Hi rogyru,
Please make sure you have checked "Import Morph Targets" in FBX setting panel.
After initializing the Plugin, you can fix the disappearance of morph data by opening up the Content Browser, selecting the skeleton mesh, and click on the Reimport the current mesh button.

Thanks for the feedback , got it working now. The problem was i was not exporting in Imotionplus format , had exported in Imotion only so no facial morph data was in the file.

Done a test inside of Unreal , used standard CC3 char and motion from iclone. Plugin works well and it looks good , just learning tweaks to improve it.
The three areas from improvment i notice are the Hair/ Scalp / Eyelash materials .The opacity settings look a bit off to me , other than that its great

Tried importing several different ways and bringing folder (tried the entire FBX, and just the FBM) into several different locations, I always get the error:
"Did not find texture folder"
But I am replicating just how the tutorial shows, with the FBX folder brought in to the character folder I made, which is like-named to the FBX imported avatar.
Which are you actually supposed to import...the FBM folder, or the entire folder....and does it matter where you put it?
EDIT:
I see, I am supposed to just bring the entire FBX folder into the content folder as the 1st step.
I was importing an FBX, and then placing a folder inside that...
It is working.

Hi rogyru,

Will something like the LOD script be available to use within Iclone in the near future? We could definitely use that to create animation with higher quality models in case there's scenes with many avatars. I know bringing in Low Poly characters would work but having a script like that within IC7 would be awesome.

i've found a annoying bug, which could not be precise from the pluging but for sure is for CC3, is which the textures only worker proper if you use the default fle extension type(in this case jpeg) if you try to use things like TGA (targa) which is much better for unreal the texture get totally screwed, the textures only proper work if you use the default archive style, could be good take a look at this.
i tried today to export using the pluging and when i did it using targa format it bugged a lot the textures and only worked when using default texture type(jpg)

i have another question i'm seeying "too much textures" in my fodder, like you have the fbm folder them texture folder, them also the textures in the same folder as the materials, we really need all that "textures" to the materials work??? we can't delete it's like having 3 or 4 times the same texture in different folders it's looks a little crazy, don't have anyway to optimize it, by remove the not used folders/textures? or i must save all?

Where can I download the open_A_UE4 pose from???
It is included with Character Creator 3 Pipeline. You should be able to find it in Content Manager under Pose > Body > Motion.
If you can't find it, do check that you have installed the Character Creator 3 Pipeline Resource Pack. If you need it, you can download from your Member Account > Registration page. Just click the Download link for CC3.

Kia ora
I tried the export import but I think I broke it slecting the skeleton I wanted to use, I have this https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/human-base asset and q lot of his characters
and was going to use Ayaka as a replacement charater as a test but selecting the basefamle skeleton was NOT a good move at import time. not sure if RL could afford to spen $17 bucks
to show us how this might work as I know a lot of Dev's will want to do this type of retartgeting. Going to try again without selecting a skeleton
What is the HDRP map please? I'm assuming it's a packed map of some sort
Edit later after retrying,.. seems I'm a tad slow I missed the check box for the time stap and the import did not use the UE4 pose, so it worked
So at import I followed ALL the instuctions (the second time round anyway) and made a change by slecting the Quang Phan PaseBody skeleton and then was able to use his master Blue_Print
select the CC3 model as the mesh and select the correct Anim_BP, play and run around no worries.
Tho as said earlier in the thread theres a lot of textures, lot of duplicates, I'm not sure the .fbm folder is in fact being used at all I used the master material from the above UE4 assets and made instance's for the skin/body textures
so that ended up be one material and 5 instance's. I have to say IMHO the folder structure could do with a lot of sorting out, double folder names ans folder with 3 file in them whille the other 2 related file are some other place jus make life harder and the whole structure messy, sorry but the model. material, Albedo and Normal in the same folder and the rest of the materials maps lord know how many deep in a structure some place else just NO. I dout I'm alone. tho the pluggin is great

Hi Kiwi-Hawk,
Thanks for your update. To replace the existing character with CC character, it did require you to manually adjust the bone number & name to be consistent with CC character's.
We were aware of the duplicated texture issue, and try to fix it in the following patches.

Hi Piepants,
It might be compatibility issue.
May we know if you execute the plugin in this folder? >> CC_Character_Auto_Settings_Unreal_4.21_Beta_1.1
There are two folders, one for Unreal 4.20, another for 4.21.

By LiBraga - 5 Years Ago

Seems like the issue I had yesterday...
My mistake was that I dropped the whole extracted folder into UEs plugin structure.
Unreal engine would then display the plugin but it gave me that error when restarting.
As Miranda has hinted at.... you need to drill down in the extracted folders and find the folder for UE 4.21 and then put that into your UE plugins directory.
Now if only I could retarget the animations without Unreal crashing (even following the Reallusion tutorial causes a crash).

|
By Piepants - 5 Years Ago

Hi Miranda,
Yes I used the 4.21 version of the plugin by placing the CC_Character_Auto_Settings_Unreal_4.21_Beta_1.1 into the plugins folder. I tried both the engine and the individual project and once the plugin was enabled, I was getting the error message with both methods which resulted in the project being unable to boot up. I wonder if the issue is caused by having to rebuild the plugin for my source-built 4.21.2 engine?
If you could get the chance to try building UE4 4.21.2 from source and getting the plugin running as an engine plugin I would greatly appreciate the required steps on how to do so. Thanks!
|
|
By Miranda (RL) - 5 Years Ago
|
Hi Piepants,
We'd like to double check your process.
Did you install the plugin before updating to 4.21.2? Have you ever got the plugin work in the previous UE4 version?
Our steps are updating to 4.21.2 first, installing the plugin later.
Please delete the plugin under engine & individual project, and try again. Thanks!
@jm.johnson, thank you for your feedback!

By Piepants - 5 Years Ago

Hi Miranda,
I cleared out my engine and rebuilt 4.21.2 from scratch, verified that my project opened in it, then copied the 'CC_Character_Auto_Settings_Unreal_4.21_Beta_1.1' folder into the engines Plugins folder. I then ran my project, went to Edit -> Plugins and enabled the reallusion plugin, and pressed the restart project button.
Then I receive a popup message:
I click yes, it starts building, and then the project loading window appears, at around 70-80% of the load, another error message appears:
After this message, the project no longer tries to load. Like I said earlier, do you think the problem is that I'm having to rebuild the plugin and it isn't rebuilding the module correctly?
Please let me know if you need any more info from me, I can run through the process pretty quickly.
Also are you unable to reproduce this by building the engine from source?

Hi everyone,
Thanks for your patience! Plugin Beta 2.0 just released.
Please find the download link from main post of this thread.
Since the auto-setup process of Plugin Beta 2.0 has been improved, please visit the instructions for the details of new procedure.
- Enhanced: Simplified script execution procedure
- You can simply drag and drop a FBX file and the rest of the procedure will be automated.
- You can now use the Import Button to bring FBX files into Unreal.
- Added: Customized Unreal Digital Humans shaders for hair, eyes, tongue, teeth, and skin. The skin will come with two shaders:
- HQ skin shader (high quality): using Unreal Digital Human as a base, we adjust the settings to up the ante on visual quality.
- LW skin shader (lightweight): based on the shaders from Epic Game's Paragon, we leverage their highly optimize skin shader without compromising visual quality.
- Added: Automatically split ORM textures into separate channel assignments for AO, Roughness, and Metallic.
- Added: Assign the equivalent UE materials based on what was deployed in CC3:
- Traditional -> Specular
- PBR -> Roughness & Metallic
- Fixed: Skeleton meshes for Motionplus will now be re-imported.

Hi Miranda,
Works fine but is there a possibility to keep the smooth mesh CC3 feature in udk ? Or does some one knows how to enable it in UDK ?
I tried the tesselation with a scalarparameter node but it adds polygons without smooting edges.

Hello!
Nah, I know it's not logical, but You have to do it in a different way. The effect is quite nice, even without any tweaking:
No Tess
Tess On
So, please, follow these steps
First You have to select the material, then scroll down to tesselation in details panel, like in this picture.
After That, select PN Triangles, like in this picture.
And Voila, works
Hope this helps!
Cheers,

Hello! Trying out the new 2.0 Unreal and
Nice Skin! Wow, very good!
Now, the hair ...wahhhhh....Doesn't really seem like all of the material options we now have get it looking any better....looks flat, not like Siren's.
The other thing I find is PN Triangles Tessellation totally warping the mesh with errors. No matter what setting or amount I set, looks distorted...and then Flat Tessellation doesn't even work almost , it does nothing.

Hello! Trying out the new 2.0 Unreal and
Nice Skin! Wow, very good!
Now, the hair ...wahhhhh....Doesn't really seem like all of the material options we now have get it looking any better....looks flat, not like Siren's.
We are using LWHQ Shader for hair, which has better effects than the default shader.
However, since there is no such textures to present the depth of hair, it still looks worse than skin. It's kind of the known issue at the moment.
The other thing I find is PN Triangles Tessellation totally warping the mesh with errors. No matter what setting or amount I set, looks distorted...and then Flat Tessellation doesn't even work almost , it does nothing.
Input the command " r.TessellationAdaptivePixelsPerTriangle 10000 " in Unreal, and it will look normal.
Hot key to open console command in Unreal: ` (~)

Hi Miranda, thank you so much. Unfortunately I have discovered that the command you noted does not 'fix' the problem in certain lighting situations.
This one is with the Pixels Per Triangle set to 500,000, and it has tessellation break on the leg:
Miranda, can I ask this-
With the Plugin's HQ/LQ shader, we are in UE able to open the material Editor for the 'shader' (skin), but not for the specific 'channel' itself (arm, leg, body, head).
Whereas with Plugin v1.0's traditional import, you would have the ability to mod the individual avatar material part in the node editor (arm, leg, body, head).
I am wondering, in UE4, when using the HQ shader, can you still node-tweak say the body, but not the arms in the node editor, or is this per-avatar -part (arm, leg, body, head) editing no longer available when using the HQ shader.
Thanks!

It's likely to be a bug in UE4. May you try to adjust the value randomly and change it back to see the updated viewer? or try to tweak it to a bit higher?

The route is a bit different, but it's adjustable. We will show you the screenshot tomorrow.

Hi Miranda, thank you so much for the suggestion. Kind of funny, after reading your post I had put another character in the scene and that took away the breakage. So your suggestion was correct!
Thanks also for looking into my other question, I am very sorry to impose. You are very kind to respond with such help!

Hi Tony,
This is how you access to the interface for tweaking the materials.
Step 1: Find the Material that you are going to adjust, and double click to open the editor.
Step 2: Find the Material (Shader) corresponding to Parent under the General Section, and double click to expand the parameter panel.
You can also find the most common parameter settings in Parameter Groups.

Hi Miranda, thank you for taking the time to show us this.
When I do do this, it always only opens up the head materials in the shader...I can't seem to accomplish opening up a node editor with the body, arms, and legs materials.
Is your team able to do it on your end?
Any changes I do make to the RL_HQSkin do affect all channels (arms, legs, body, head), which is nice, but I am looking to see if I could affect one without affecting the other, but in a Node Editor scenario.
Maybe it would require that I make individual versions of the HQSkin such that each body part has its own editable HQ shader?
THX!!!

Hi Tony,
You can choose Head, Body, Arm, Leg (#1 picture).
Since those four parts sharing the same material, it's better to adjust parameters under Parameter Groups (#4 picture), instead of using the graphic material editor. (#3 picture)

Hi Miranda, thank you for the suggestion. I know I can tweak the individual settings per arm, leg, head, body.
But let's say I wanted to add a Displacement Texture for the Displacement Node on just the arm, and not the leg.
Or, lets say a blend of a basic checkerboard pattern over the avatar's arms, but not the legs. And I mean a mix of 2 diffuse textures, not a replace of one to the other.
There is no 'input' for these things in the texture parameter list (ie - there is no texture input for Displacement, or Blend via a linear interpolate).
I think the shader does a fantastic job but the traditional set up has more flexibility, I am looking to see if your team knows a way I could add more of this flexibility into the shader.
Like, is there a way to add more body-part specific channels in the Texture Parameter list for the RL-HQSkin shader (ie World Displacement, Blend via Multiply and Linear Interpolate) such that you could add and modify with additional combining of textures for parts individually?
Similar to how you can specify textures for Roughness, diffuse BaseColor, Normal, AO SSS Pore Specular - if we also could add in a 'Blend' channel in combination with the diffuse, or a World Displacement, this would actually solve what I am looking for, without having to pre-blend things in Photoshop/Gimp.
THX so much!

Miranda, I have discovered how this can work.
If you add a 'Parameter' type input to anywhere in the RL_HQSkin Parent material, it will appear in the main menu for each Child item (arm, leg, head, body). So, I am able to add in channels as I was imagining after all. This topic in general involves the terms "Unreal", "Instancing", and "Parameters" for a parent Material (ie RL_HQSkin) which manages inputs for the Child materials (ie - arm leg, body, head)
Well, maybe it would be useful to others if the default had an input for World Displacement or Blend, just to match what the CC3/iClone materials have.
So maybe it could be added by the team in the future, as a default.
But, thanks for directing me in the correct direction!!!

i hav e a small issue sometimes wehn exporting a character to unreal, sometimes it mess with "some meshes" material, sometimes it's set wrong some setting inside the material like when a meshe need to have a opacity mask then or the base or the mask or other texture is set wrong, a option like it was supposed to be "greyscale" or greyscalelinear but it's setting are color and linear color it make the texture not be loaded and the mesh keep it gray base color until you fix it on the settings, it's not a big deal you just need to go to material and mark the proper option, but it's happen sometimes.

ok i was a long time not using it anymoore since some of it's limitations had me switch to DAZ but since i've touched it yesterday to make some tests with the new version of the pluging then now after test again i can say which it's happening all the times here what i get:
- the bug i reported in previous post is happening all the times here the screes:
it's happening with eyelashes, with that ponytail hair and some parts of the light armor as you see in the screen, i've not tested with all the products i have here to be sure if is just that ones but for sure that ones are bugging.
it's on unreal engine 4.21 with the 4.21 pluiging.

Hi Ellessarr,
This should be the issue you reported this February about texture with tga format.
Unreal automatically changed the sampler type of opacity texture to be grayscale, as you can see from the image you provided.
In the latest version we are currently working on, we will assign alpha value for opacity when exporting FBX file with tga texture, and change the sampler type to be color when performing Auto-setup tool to make it work properly in Unreal.
Please be noted that this only takes effect when the original texture source is tga. If users select to convert png to be tga (see image below), it won't work.

to be clear i think the problem is more like the "oposite", in order to proper work with unreal, the type must be "grayscale" but the autosetup is setting then to color, then that is when the bug happen, when exporting tga files he was supposed to set the needed textures to grayscale not to color, as my picture is showing, in the pictures the plugging put the opacity texture as linear when it was supposed to be grayscale which was the error unreal pointed, the exported texture is being exported wrong in tga format.
it was supposed to be grayscale in some cases but it's being setted to be color or linear color instead go grayscale or linear grayscale in some cases, it's not all materials as we see some materials are being exported right while others no and give that "error where no texture being loaded".

Hi Ellessarr,
Sorry for not being able to clearly explain the whole thing, and why we made this decision to support tga by this "workaround".
The facts you pointed out are well-noted by Dev Team, and we all agreed that it's better to fix this issue by the other way.
This is the current limitation of CC-to-Unreal, and I don't think we can solve it right away.
When the new patch releases, please help to test out if the workaround can satisfy your need. Thanks.

another good tip about using "tga(targa format) is which it can be also used to when needed reduce the number of textures cuz using tga it allow you to use the alpha(opacity) direct from the main texture.
Using photoshop or any other image editor you can go to the collor channels and on that add the "alpha channel( the black and white used in opacity), when it don't have you can add one alpha channel, among the primary channels them save it as tga and when asked save it as 32bit(to store the alpha it need to be 32bit) than in unreal instead of use another texture you can direct to the base color and grab the alpha node(the last one) and use it instead of a extra texture.
i'm not too sure if it can be used all the cases but in some cases(specially when the texture detail is fixed) it can be very helpfull, probably in cases where you want to add the details outside the base texture then have the not being on the base must be important and even in that cases you can make the alpha being part of the detail map.
here a exemple:
i've created the alpha channel for the body hair, it allow me to use the base color as alpha, because unreal like the case of AO, Rougness and metalical case where you can use the channel colors you also can add a alpha channel then use that alpha from the base color to use it instead of have a alpha texture outside and in case you would need that alpha all you would need is just open the image in a image editor like photoshop and use that channel to create a alpha texture.

Thank you Ellessarr. This is what we enhanced in CC 3.04 & Auto-Setup Plug-in v2.0.
From CC 3.04 release note, "New ORM texture option for the Unreal pipeline FBX export. ORM textures are split by Unreal Auto-Setup Plugin into separate channel assignments for AO, Roughness, and Metallic."
Back to the error issue in tga format, we found the root cause after your explanation. Much appreciated!
There is a bad design on the current Auto-Setup Plugin, which forces to change the default setting of Sampler Type to be Linear Color when creating node.
Due to the inconsistency, you will see the error, and have to manually fix it like this:
The upcoming plug-in will make the setting to be what it supposes to be.
Thank you!!

Hi Kevin,
We observed the same issue after upgrading to Unreal 4.21 or later version, and we are surveying and searching for the solution. We will keep you posted.
The workaround at the moment is to remove the plugin when building the system, and install the plugin back after system is built.
You mentioned that the installing to the engine folder works, can you double confirm that?
As far as we know, it should have the same behavior (error) as project.

When I moved the one that error-ed out into the engine folder yes the error was the same when compiling but placing the pure files from the zip into the engine path that works and loaded. If needed I can try a blank c++ project with a cc: export verify it works and zip the files for email a mega link for you devs.
Also, make sure you have the new release/update as I know they fix things in ninja release that cause a headache for us market place plugin creators.

Hi frik.gamedev,
May you help us clarify the following things?
1. Did you make an update of auto-setup tool recently? (Which version of auto-setup tool you are using?)
2. Is this character transferring from other UE4 project? If yes, any error message popped up?
3. It seems that there is Glow Texture on your material settings. If yes, can you remove it and try again?
If none of the three conditions suit your case, can you record a clip to demonstrate importing FBX to UE4 with LW or HQ shader selected?

Closing the window just makes Fbx files import as if it was without the plugin. There is also no way to resize the window, so it's not the case. Plese help

Hi! I have a strange problem, I have no buttons to confirm the Auto Setup Import Options. I 've checked on both 4.21 and 4.22 Unreal Engine versions, it's the same. No buttons to confirm. Closing the window just makes Fbx files import as if it was without the plugin. There is also no way to resize the window, so it's not the case. Plese help
This issue should be fixed in the 1.02 version of the Auto-Setup. Do let us know if you continue to have problems.

Hello~
I checked with the Dev Team. It's a defect confirmed by Unreal.
They once mentioned the issue will be fixed in 4.23, but it's not.
There is no way for us to fix it, but there do have some ways to make the flaw not that obvious.
1. PostProcessVolume > Change the Type of Translucency to be Raster 2. Untick the checkbox of Cast Ray Traced Shadow 
Let me know if it works for you, thanks!

Hi all,
A friend of mine exported a character from latest CC (3.2). He showed screenshots and character looks great in CC (it was imported from daz). The same hairs that looked mediocre in previous version, in latest version look great. Unfortunately auto-setup plugin for unreal turns this great model into monstrosity. Hairs are solid... not transparent. The same with lashes. I am using latest 1.02 version of plugin.
It is me or old plugin does not work with new CC?

Hi Makumba666,
May you screenshot the material settings of hair and eyelashes?
What's the shader you are using for this project? Standard, LW or HQ?
We can't duplicate this issue on our side.

I think there is a bug with the AutoSetup 1.2 for a character.
I have imported two characters within UE 4.22, and when whatever skeletal mesh I select in my Content browser, only the first get's adjusted with the requested material instances.
Also, I see in the UE log such messages, which I'm not sure are related:
LogJson: Warning: Field Specular was not found.LogJson: Error: Json Value of type 'Null' used as a 'Number'.
LogJson: Warning: Field Glossiness was not found.
LogJson: Error: Json Value of type 'Null' used as a 'Number'.
Which repeat themselves.LogJson: Error: Json Value of type 'Null' used as a 'Number'.

Hello, UE 2.24 was released before week. What is your schedule for an upgrade of this plugin?
you can use a blank project to import to UE4 and migtrate to the newer project
|
|
By ryobg - 5 Years Ago

Hi, that's not the point I think? I had to move to 4.24 because of a blocking bug solved in there.
And as I want still to generate CC3 characters for UE, want to use this plugin.
You are right tho that maybe I can workaround with having two UE installed and then just generate for the older one and migrate, but this seems somehow shaky solution.
To begin with, I will be stuck to do a lot of manual work even if we consider just the switching of shaders.
Thanks for your response and idea though.

Super cool plugin, I just went through the process of manually setting up the materials, and it's a PITA. I also hope you guys figure out to automate version number upgrades, so that we can get working plugins for new UE4 releases as well. Hopefully it's not too much trouble.

There are some API changes between 4.23 and 4.24, which means that we will need some time to update the codes and test.
We are evaluating the efforts. If there is further information, we will let you know. Thanks!
P.S. It's good to know your urgent demand for the updated plug-in, which means that this tool really helps you in some way.

Using the latest engine
For school is bad. Us4 releases are not stable until the next release is about to drop or right after the next release drops. I highly advise you to use 4.23 for now as there are already a crap ton of issues ppl have had in 4,24. Do not use 4.24 til 4.25 is near completion

Can no longer select any other Shader besides "Standard Shader" on Auto Setup Import options. This is the case for me with all FBX models exported from CC3. I even reimported older characters that I was able to use the HQ shader on before, but the option is no longer available. How do I "re-enable" the ability to use the HQ Shader.

True. I agree about the stability.
But I require some of the new features including the Virtual Production and RTX updates so despite the crashes that I face, I decided to fix on 4.24.

We checked the issue and found that bone constraint inside Physics Asset will be lost after importing character into UE via Auto Setup. We still need further information to clarify the root cause.. Can you capture a screen video to show the process? Thanks!

Hi,
I'm using UE 4.24.3 And I have the last version of the plugin, 4.24. When I had the issue, I downloaded again to reinstall it, to be sure I had the last one.
I was afraid to disable the plugin, and that my characters will be impacted. I did a try, and if I uncheck the plugins (without rebooting the project), I can export and that's working. Seems to have no impact, the characters are fine in the exported game. So it's the better way to do a package?

Be aware that UE uses the A-Pose per default. This means T-Pose animations won't work properly on a A-Pose character. However, there are animations which help to set a new default Pose, such as this one legendsofepica.com/Bindpose.FBX

I'm having an issue that I can't find any reference to on the boards or web search.
When I use live link to send data to UE 4.24.3 via live link, Sequencer says that the recorded takes are internally 24fps, not 60. UE4 is set to 60 fixed. Am I missing a setting in iClone or UE4 somewhere?
|
|
By Bassline303 - 4 Years Ago
|
Try non fixed setting
( IClone and UE4 are not in Sync via Live-Link) - For UE4 Users with the same problem , Kungphu found a solution :
As long as you don’t choose fixes frames, everything magically matches up. Lip sync was virtually impossible due to how fast it would copy into sequencer. I tried everything for months and luckily stumbled on this when I forgot to select fixed frame rate per the Reallusion tutorial and it was finally timed perfectly with audio and the frames in my iclone project matched the frames in the sequencer.

Yup! Ignore that part on the RL tutorial. Also after the recording per the RL tutorial set the playback to 60fps and it’ll match the iclone vid well it’ll just be off by the amount of frames it took to press the play button after or before the 1 on the Unreal countdown.

Ok, using the Sequence Recorder seems to have worked properly now, however I still see the note that 24fps is the internal speed on using Take Recorder.

Hi everyone,
Really appreciate your feedback on the fix frame rate issue, and we see many of you are having big trouble on doing lip sync while the time is not matching. And I also see you sharing tips, or the comments about our tutorials. We've collected them and forwarded to our team already. Hopefully by next Monday, we can provide our feedback on this issue. So stay tuned and we will reply soon! Thanks a lot!

Hi everyone, the reallusion support team redirected me here.
Our team is working on an ambitious AA RPG on UE4 and we've been in production for over a year now on UE4.21. We want to switch to UE4.25 and we noticed that the documentation about doing this change requires us to delete all the CC3 characters in UE4 before changing the version. I would like to know if the documentation is fully updated and if there is really no other way to update without deleting every mesh, as we have dozens of characters in different places, cutscenes etc... Deleting everything and putting everything back would prove to be a tremendous task so before doing that, we would like to confirm that there is no other way to do this.
If deleting everything is the only way to do this, is there a recommended workflow you could suggest to minimize the time spent to re-assemble everything ? When we try to force the project into UE4.25 we get an error that prevents us from starting the project : "The RLPlugin was designed for build 4.21. Attempt to load it anyway?". And clicking yes makes the project fail to launch.
Thanks a lot
Edit : So I tried on a copy project to not delete all the characters and changed to UE4.25. I correctly updated the CC auto set up plug in files to the 4.25 in the project folder and almost everything works perfectly. There is only one big issue remaining that I just don't understand : when I import characters from CC3 via the auto set up tool, the textures and mesh correctly import but the materials are not created automatically. But what is extra weird is that it only applies to new CC3 characters I export. If I import in UE4 a FBX from CC3 that I already created before, everything works and the materials are well created and linked.
Though now if I go and create a new character or even just re-export an existing one, materials won't be created in UE4. Is there something I'm missing here ? I think it comes from CC3 but I didn't change my export options (you can see them below). Though I did update from CC3.1 to CC3.2. Could that be linked ?
Edit 2 : I tried importing the characters for which materials are not created in a whole new project and it seems to work fine at first. Though if I import an older character after, it breaks all the materials of the new one, and they just disappear. So it's something inside the other UE project. I'm completely clueless about what's happening...

By Eric C (RL) - 4 Years Ago

Hi everyone,
Sorry for the late post! After having spoken with the tech department, we would like to explain the reason for activating the Fixed Frame Rate option in the instruction video below. In addition, we would like to receive your thoughts and feedback.
In our tutorial video, we enabled the Fixed Frame Rate option in order to prevent the feet from sliding around. In the following video, you can see the difference between having Fixed Frame Rate activated and deactivated.
We know that not having Fixed Frame Rate activated, can cause frame slippage between iClone and Unreal Engine, and it is mainly caused by a limitation in the Unreal system. By now, we recommend the following fixes:
1. Disable the Fixed Frame Rate option, but make sure the character is resting in matching positions, otherwise foot sliding can occur. 2. Export the character FBX to Unreal in order to ensure that the original animation length is preserved.
Cheers,

Hi.
I am trying to download the tool but the download button just refreshes the page and doesn't start a download.
I had this same problem the last time I tried to download it but have no idea how I eventually got it to download. Now I am having the same issue again. Thinking this might be a problem with my browser settings I inspected the source, got the URL to the EXE and pasted it into a new window. This resulted in a "Sorry, are you looking for something?" page being displayed so I pasted it into a download manager app which also simply failed to download the file...
So where can I download auto setup for Unreal if that page is not working? Any chance of a direct link, please?
Thanks
EDIT: I don't know why the Download manager failed to download the file but I discovered my website was failing due to a plugin. I just had to disable the plugin and then the download was all good. Sorry about my n00bness

there's something wrong with hair shader using autosetup Version 1.04
hope someone can help
|
|
By mybadstudios - 4 Years Ago

I only tried this in Unity so not sure if it is the same in Unreal but I had to change a setting in the hair material to make it work properly. In Unity I had to change the rendering pass from "Default" to "Low" and that took the hair from looking totally useless to looking more real than the hair on my head 
Hope that works as a hint and points you to the solution. Good luck

Try to deactivate "Cast Ray Traced Shadows" in your Light source.
If it doesn't work , can you show a picture of your hair material in UE4. (especially the RL Shader)
|
|
By WSAnim - 4 Years Ago
|
Speaking of hair... using the classic taper style, on import into UE4 (4.25 with the latest plugins), I'm getting this dithering effect, instead of translucency. Is this normal?
|
|
By mechatrex69 - 4 Years Ago
|
thanks Bassline303
the hair looks the same after I apply the setting
even I tried to set the project with raytrace but still not working
my goal is have the hair look the same like what I did in 4.22
because I want to use the new render system in 4.25 (not for raytrace)
so I send the model to 4.25
     
hope you can help
thanks~

Hi,
is the source code of the Auto Setup plugin somewhere available?
I wanted to fix a small but annoying bug by myself but could only find the header files. :-(
My actual problem is that when I enable 'Use Small Tool Bar Icons' in the Unreal Editor preferences some toolbar icons don't show up with a proper icon including the CC Auto Setup plugin as well as the iClone Live Link plugin.
It's a really easy fix to do. All you have to do is to add another definition for the small button icon. Something like this: "<plugin>.<action>.Small".
In your source code there should be something like this:
Set("SomePluginName.Toolbar.IconMain", new IMAGE_PLUGIN_BRUSH("Icons/some_logo_48", Icon48x48));
Add this and the small button icon should also show up:
Set("SomePluginName.Toolbar.IconMain.Small", new IMAGE_PLUGIN_BRUSH("Icons/some_logo_48", Icon20x20));
Please either fix this for everyone or give us access to the source code so we can do it, thanks! ;-)
EDIT:
I noticed that the source code for the RLLiveLink plugin is available so here is a diff as an example of how to fix this:

Guys it takes like 2-3 weeks till the new engine is supported usually. Use 4.25 to import characters and migrate them over to 4.26. The Materials folder moves over to 4.26 just fine.

While 4.26 final was "just" released, it has been in beta stage for a number of weeks now, and should have been in development during that time.
I will also say that I find it frustrating that the latest release is still using deprecated functions that have been listed as such by UE4 for more than a full release cycle.

As a content creator for plugins in UE4 that being in preview for that long means nothing as they have many times saved backend changes that affect their compile environment on the final release. There are also some changes they make almost immediately after that can break something you just tried to submit back to the marketplace using their binary release and they wont accept it unless you support the test environment they are currently on that con sometimes have you download the entire engine source from GIT which is a pain most of the time...

Import a daz genesis 8 character to iclone7 and transfer it to ue4 via unreal live link's "Transfer File" button,then the skin blink.

When importing a new fbx into the editor as an asset, the editor will lock up and take 5 to 10 minutes to recover. From there it will be compiling many shaders ( 1000+ )
This happens each time we need to update our characters. Seemingly the materials on the characters are all material instances, but it wants to recompile the shaders anyway.
Is this a bug or expected behaviour?
Using Unreal 4.25 and version 1.1 of the plugin.

Go to project settings / windows / Default RHI and set it to DirectX 12

Dear Colleagues,
We faced with issue during working of AutoSetup Plugin on UE 4.26.1 version (on 4.26.0 everything works well).
Are you already informed about this issue and is there any fix plan for it?
[Issue details] When build the project with enabled plugin this issue appear:

try to delete the content > CC_Shader and Plugins > AutoSetup in your project
then 
Download this again copy the folders and paste those to your project

Can this be modified with our own Custom Shader Links? I've made some hair and skin shaders to replace the default and I wonder if theres a faster way to apply min than to replace the parent link in the material instance.

Updated the Auto Setup plugin for my unreal engine 4.26 project, but now the Auto Setup for Character Physics is not working Unreal Engine 4.26 for the character cloak.
Have deleted the old plugin 1.2 folder from the UE project plugin folder as well as the CC shaders folder and replaced with the new plugin folders and now there is this problem with the character physics not working.

I came across the an issue and I am sure this has been answered, so my apologizes for the redundancy. I just got CC3 and trying to learn a new workflow from Daz to CC3 To Unreal.
I created a character in DAZ clothed her put hair on her then took her into CC3 no issues. Then I added skin and makeup in CC3 and then used Auto-Setup to take to Unreal Engine 4.27.
Everything imported fine into unreal EXCEPT the Daz hair. It just came out as a transparent object. Being new to Reallusion products and trying to learn Unreal I am not sure how to fix this or if there is something I need to do to get the hair to come in correctly. Any help, tips etc would be appreciated and help me learn.

Even the hair in the Reallusion store is transferred quite problematic.
I haven't been able to solve this problem yet.
Especially the hair pieces are transferred more corruptly.

Well that is some what good to know, that I did not necessarily imported wrong, but still an issue I guess. I will try importing via other methods and see what results I get.

Does "soon" means few weeks, or few months?
Both are fair game, but people want to plan accordingly.
