Hello,
I have always been a Daz3d person and recently introduced Reallusion Pipeline into my routine.
I created a daz3d model with eyebrows using the dForce hair strands creator and was able to have a good looking eyebrows that follows along with my character facial expression in Daz Studio. However, when I transfer my character through 3DXchange 7 and apply it to iClone along with facial riggings, everything seems ok except those eyebrows I created, they don't follow facial expression like when my character raises eyebrows. The eyebrows instead seem stuck in one position and not moving. Daz3d eyebrows that are bought from DAZ3D Store seem to work just fine. Can anybody explain to me how to get the custom created eyebrows to work with facial animation? Thanks.

Another thing is I noticed that CC3 Pipeline transfer tool for genesis 8 characters especially males with morphs (like some muscles) appear to look like noodles around the shoulder area. I think this needs some fixing from the Developers side. 3DxChange to iClone 7 handles that much better for some reason.

You will not be able to get such custom eyebrows to follow -- the iClone/CC3 system of eye morphs means that only the base figure will change (and your eyebrows are "overlaid" onto that).

Conceivably you could perhaps bring over some eyebrow morphs for those custom eyebrows but you'd then have to hand key everything in (or perhaps find some Python way of doing it).  Not worth the trouble, IMHO.

Thanks for letting me know. I was spending so much time searching for a solution but apparently there isn't one. Do you know if it is possible to create realistic hair/eyebrows/facial hair on CC3?

You're asking different questions.  You can certainly create good facial and head hair (I have a lot of tutorials on doing it).  Eyebrows, as noted, won't move with the face so you're out of luck there.

Look at my channel to see my tutorials if you want (sorry -- just about out of here to eat but it's not hard to find them):
