I purchased Character Creator and IClone.
Why I have to pay to export my iClone animations to other softwares like Unreal, Blender, etc??
Any other 3D softwares (even paid like Maya or 3DsMax), allow you exporting the animations that you create.
In my opinion, paying again to get animations by a software that I already paid like iClone is really ridicolous.

I hope that Reallusion could add another free option to export the animations that I create with iClone.
Because Character Creator and Iclone were no cheap applications together.

If you bought CC3 pipeline( Stand alone) then all you need is the $199 iclone 7.9 basic to export animated  CC3 avatars(body and face), to the major 3DCC's and game engines.
That is all I use to export animated Avatars to Blender.

Hi...

If you purchased Character Creator 3 Pipeline then you already have the capability to export to Unreal, Blender and any other software. You don't have to pay more.

I think what he's trying to say is you can't export as an fxb or any other file without buying 3DXchange.

You don't need 3DXchange to export to FBX if you have Character Creator 3 Pipeline. CC3 has the export features built in.

Yes, but surely that only applies to character exports, not motion graphics.

There is an option in CC to export characters with animations if that's what you mean by motion graphics.

Last year, this is what I wanted to know when I was trying to buy these products for the first time, but because I didn't get a proper response this way, I bought 3DXchange, which I never used once Smile

Of course, since I have another project, I did not start using the programs fully.
So I will never know if it is necessary for me Smile
