If you are going to import the ActorCore  character into Blender,  please use the Blender Auto Setup (cc3_blender_tools) to get a better result.

2. Install and activate Blender Auto Setup (cc3_blender_tools).

3. Import the ActorCorecharacter via Blender Auto Setup (cc3_blender_tools).






4. You will need to adjust the Specular value in Shader Editor first.

5. Use the tool's feature to tweak the Default AO as you see fit.

6. Import the motion into Blender. You do not need to import using Blender Auto Setup this time.

7. Switch Timeline to the Dope Sheet > Action Editor.

8. Make sure to select the character, and then you can pick a motion in the drop-down menu.

Finally, apply the motion.

Follow this workflow, you can apply motions easily and get a better result in Blender.
