Hey! Just working my way through comments. I will be making more in-depth video, but in the meantime found these Free tutorials that RL have created already and are worth a look if you are looking for a good tutorial on CC Rig FAQ : yes you can transfer animations from the MH control rig to the CC rig and visa versa 🙏 courses.reallusion.com/home/character-creator/pipelines-and-render/unreal?v=getting-started-with-cc-control-rig-for-ue-|-unreal-control-rig-plug-in-tutorials

Lol ive just spent the last month and a half making rigs from scratch (including for face) and they drop this on my final project push, what a treat. So much better and faster than adjusting all the controllers myself to match between characters. I did end up having a strange issue where it didnt separate head and body correctly when i had additional bones in there, but upon reimport it did work and i was able to add onto the cc body rig to add a tail setup for a humanoid, cool that its flexible too!

This really is huge, I just started out trying to create a VTuber Tool for myself in UE5 and working on a model is hard. Using CC seems so frictionless now, I‘ll definitely try the trial for sure! Love your videos, they‘re the best resources I stumbled upon these days.

Thank you so much! I think they’ve got 40% off well it looks like it because I’ve just been on their website so it’s a good deal. I know people get annoyed having to pay for accessories et cetera, but you can make them in blender or Zbrush and bring them in into Character creator. You can also export your character directly from character creator to unreal engine without having to have Iclone, for those worried about cost. I personally use Iclone for my animations, but it’s all preference and budget based.

the high cost of CC has always put me off but i'm getting tempted now. thanks for the update.

This sounds too good to be true. I want to see if I understand this fully, it is now possible to create a completely a new character from scratch AND bring them in to UE AND change their mesh in all sorts of ways? I'm new to this whole CC stuff. Btw you're skilled AF. I love your vids. Seriously you're awesome and I'm so excited. I'm gonna start going through CC and maybe IClone tutorials too lol.

All the mesh needs to be created in Character creator and then imported in and the converted to CCrigs but looks like a really neat way to get more stylised characters in. MH control rigs animation can be copied and pasted onto the new CC rigs as well. Looks like UE marketplace anime’s can all be used for the characters too. There are a few license agreements that need to be adhered to if using in game. It’s worth checking those out if anyone is using anything commercially. But for films and animations it’s look pretty sharp

Thank you for sharing this PromptMuse! Just bought CC4 because of your video, works fantastic with UE5. I was buying actorcore FBX libraries in the past and assigning them manually to the metahuman base skeleton and then baking to control rig. This way is soooo much better and I can now use all the new characters from CC too. Thanks so much! (Now I'm going to have to get iclone as well as that saves a bunch of time stringing together animation cycles. Block out in iclone, import into UE5 then bake to control rig and add an additive control rig for fine tuning. Awesome!

You are an angel. Thank you!

Just a hint if you want to use this seriously: Read the license terms of reallusion VERY carefully. There are some unexpected conditions where you need an enterprise license.

@promptmuse

I think you’re right everyone needs to read the T and C for the model use not just for CC but also for a metahuman as well. As far as I am aware, you cannot sell the models commercially on the open market due to the technology of the skeleton and topology , but please check the specifics (on both sites) as it will continuously change. You can sell on selected markets and on their own platform.

Hi! Thank you for your video . Where do you find NIA character inside Iclone or CC4? I didn't find her . Only in the UDK project provide by Reallusion....

What is the best way to animate a Metahuman in iClone? It's great that a character made in Character Creator can be "moved" to UE as a Metahuman but some of the Metahuman tools are just way cooler for character creation where iClone is better for controlling the animation itself. I'd love to see videos showing this process in detail.

Where's the AI Character Creation part 2 of putting body textures on clothes on them??

Great video. Something I am struggling with is this. I have a characters from a Big Medium Small Mech pack. I want to get these rigged for facial animations and the steps needed to do it, if possible, is a bit confusing to me. Can you provide any insight to how it might be done? Thanks for the content!

So here we have a good interaction between CC and UE. Can I also push cascadeur and marvelous designer in the pipeline? How would I do that and is it worth it? Thank you!

@promptmuse

28 күн бұрын

Really interesting questions there thanks. 1. Yes, you can export Cascadeur animation into Iclone. You need to re-target the Iclone skeleton first in cascadeur then animate>export to Iclone. I’m not sure if I’ve ever done a video on this. I’ll have a look back. 2. Yes, you can import marvellous designer clothes into Iclone and the cloth physics can be converted, however, I’m not sure if the physics will transfer across to unreal currently the physics engine with this is the chaos physics. But I need to do some more tests ! But regardless of the physics the clothes can also come across to unreal engine and the CC rig.

Can you use the MH animator for iPhone driven facial capture on these new CC rigs?

Does this use the UE5 skeleton or will I have to retarget my existing UE5 animations to it?

When I add a second character to rig, the first one disappears, even when I rename the first rig?

Do you know if it’s compatible with metahuman animator? Would love to bring in my face mocap to cc characters

Any way to dynamically simulate that hair?

@promptmuse

26 күн бұрын

So a lot of the models I’ve seen are using hair cards which to be honest is nice and lightweight to use. They have chaos physics attached to them which will simulate hair movement. Now you can make your own hair in blender and bring it into character Creator obviously there’s a learning curve to it. if you’ve got the budget you can purchase hair packs from real illusion as well,just depends on what your budget is. I purchased a really cool plug-in in blender for her however there’s a huge learning curve to it and it also cost quite a bit so the hair character created as well as make my own hair depending on the project. Both can be simulated in UE. I find it much easier than using hair particles. Sorry I did speech to text for this hopefully it makes some sort of sense. 🤣

As far as I’m aware, correct me if I’m wrong in, But in order to convert it to cc rig it needs to be a character creator skeleton with the mesh morph. If you want to do it in blender they do actually have some free meshes on their website for use in Blender which I can imagine can be exported to CC rig. I’ll take a look into this! But for any anyone on a budget, which is most people at the moment that would be a great alternative solution (voice to text - so apologise for the grammatical errors!)
