My MetaHuman's results are absolutely nowhere near to what the character looks like in Character Creator 4. It applies textures successfully but it doesn't look nearly the same. Can you please do a full tutorial where you show how you actually imported the exported model from CC4 into UE5 and how you did the MetaHuman in the MetaHuman creator.
When applying the CC textures i get this:
To complete this operation, the MetaHuman textures must be present. You should verify that you have saved the character's skeletal mesh or applied the exported data via CC4's Export Head (with Target set to Mesh to MetaHuman).
I began using this recently and it is INSANE!
Have you tried to migrate your custom MH to UE 5.4? Did he come over correctly?
Another great video and one I'm going to add to my list.
thank you 🙌
for the folks that are having a problem with Unreal hang when importing the iclone fbx... when you import the fbx select "fbx.file" vs. the default "all.files" in the explorer window, I guess this is a bug in Unreal?
You just saved my life. Thank you.
I have other tips for Iclone users on my channel. If you have specific Iclone to unreal questions let me know. 😊
There is no _Avatar_00 mentioned at 18:52 when using the Apply CC Textures. Everything else matched the tute. Therefore the body texture doesn't setup thus this doesn't work :(
I cant seem to import the cc4 head. my unreal just freezes when i select "import all" or "import"
Apply cc texture Option not Visible in UE5.2.1
same here
did you solve it?
@@Fancy.languages1 No...
Do please re-install the Unreal autosetup plugin from your Reallusion hub. I have tested it on my end and it works in 5.2.
Super cool
thank you 🙌🙏
How do you import your metahuman character in realliusion plss
Thank you so much for sharing!!
when importing it as something about importing as DataTable. what did you select for this?
Nice!!
thank you 🙌
Can you please tell me how did you add cyberware in metahuman... Anyone please respond
Nice!
thank you 🙌🙏
Now all we need is to transfer CC4 and Iclone clothing to Metahuman !!
indeed
How do we do this tutorial please
Now all we need is to be able the dress Medahumans with Daz Studio’s clothing library!
amazing! can you also wrap your metahuman body to a CC character? i get that the texture add the details but i have characters that look really big and muscular and it think it will look strange if the mesh is regular sized but the texture is of a large muscular man/woman.
thank you 🙌 not yet
@@SolomonJagwe thank for the reply! Yes I just found that out recently. I hope this will change in the futue
Which teeth are those (DAZ, iclone or metahuman Creator), and if it is not metahuman, can you apply those to kola 8.1 ???? The reason is when applying metahuman animator into facial (especially teeth), it renders so real (and you can always customize teeth more further in metahuman creator.
Legend!
Hi I'm enjoying your videos. I am also subscribed.
I have a question for you.
I understand that you upgraded the head created in CC4 in MetaHuman, but what I don't understand is how you did the body created in CC4. I know you can only do the face in MetaHuman but not the body. Please post a video of how you combined the body created in CC4 with the MetaHuman face.
Thank you. The body mesh was not done in CC4, but the body textures are updated using the above workflow.
Hi, I can't find any file that have 'avatar' name. In 18:58 timeline, you chose Kola_Avatar_00 and not the head one. @@SolomonJagwe
Hi Solomon , what are your pc specs please?
You can Check out the specs at this link: hubs.ly/H0TD6v70 It's the threadripper, but not with the 4090. It came with a 3090
hey there,, how can we talk i need some support and dont have the time..need something similar as you show in the video
At the 18:50 mark, I don’t have the option to use cc textures. When I right click, it’s not in the menu
Do please re-install the Unreal autosetup plugin from your Reallusion hub. I have tested it on my end and it works in 5.2.
@@SolomonJagwe im having issues as well, reinstalled but when i import the fbx, there is no pop up...
Hi Solomon, isn't there any possibility to export from CC4 the head and the body in seperate from each other and then put them back together after the head turned into a metahuman head ? That way - we get metahuman head coupled with CC4 body (we can get the clothing). Is that possible ?
why apply cc4 texture is missing? wich version of plugin or what to do?
1.32
@@SolomonJagwe Hello Solomon, I can't find the apply cc texture even I follow your steps and using plugin of 1.32 auto cc, please advise
Has anyone had any successful results with the textures from CC4 actually applying to their character in Unreal? I've run through this tutorial several times and it just does not work... After the bridge export and back in Unreal, when I right click and "apply cc textures" they do not apply. Bummer... Any help would be appreciated. Cheers and Happy July 4th!
Do please re-install the Unreal autosetup plugin from your Reallusion hub. I have tested it on my end and it works in 5.2.
@@SolomonJagweI’ve reinstalled again and unfortunately after I import into unreal I do not get the shader options. Instead I only get import option when importing my FBX file from CC4…
How does Metahuman enter Character Creator?
Currently not allowed by Epic Games. MetaHumans have to be used in the Unreal Engine only
@@SolomonJagwe OK,thank you.
Am I correct in thinking you imported that character with all the texture maps into CC then sent that same character to Unreal?. when I try CC conplains the texture maps are not 4k even tho they are and have been set to 4096 in SkinGen after applying the Daz maps over a 4k CC4 material
I show the process in the video above, if you watch from beginning to the end.
what aboutt clothes?
not yet
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Will this work on a Lowest LOD of metahuman ?
The converted MetaHuman has multiple lods
Hi, is it possible to do with Daz 3d?
watch the video all the way through, I share the process.
So you created a 26 minute long video about how to bring a CC4 character to UE5 as a metahuman, said a million times how great it is, and then you spent 10 minutes saying "oh it doesn't seem to load, sorry", and never attempted to actually finish the video? Wow.
Hey Solomon, did you try out headshot in cc4 with the new mesh to MetaHuman in iclone? Wanted to see how the likeness comes out
not yet
I mean this in the best way possible. That looks really bad. The texture is overlaid on the same metahuman mesh, but the texture is meant for a different mesh. Feels like when you add the wrong normal map. Is going places, but until you can match geometry, this is not gonna look correct.
The video: %60 how to do it, %40 this is a game changer. Great tut but your teaching awful.
