 Hi,
Hi, I have a question.
My problem :- The left is Alembic character, the right is Live link character
- Alembic character is used to simulate animation in Marvelous Designer
- They both should match, but not
- It might be frame rate or mesh calculation issue
My workflow :
- Character Creator > iClone > Marvelous Designer > UE4
- Cloth :
- export iClone character in Alembic(OGAWA)
- import to Marvelous, simulate for animation, export in Alembic
- import to UE4
- Character :
- Import to UE4 by Live link
- Convert to a sequence by Take Recorder
- My setting:
- Take Recorder : 60FPS
- fixed rate: OFF
- iClone : by Realtime
- *those are different from tutorial but what I found in this forum
- Is Live Link not a proper way to match with simulated data created by other software ?
- What is the best solution ? export character mesh in FBX or Alembic ?
- In that case, do I have to manually make material in UE ?

Via Live Link you won't get straight 60fps , you always will have a little jitter or drop outs in the recorded animation.
Best workflow for me is to import all animations via fbx , then export the fbx animation (with A-Pose beginning) from UE4 to MD.
Import the fbx as avatar , do your cloth physics and export as Alembic.
Also export the cloth as .Obj or .FBX (without simulation) and import to UE4 to get all cloth materials.

Thanks for the reply.
Your video explains a lot for me!
Using FBX for both MD and UE is a good idea, and I can give up using Live Link feature at this time.
