- Today i will be showing you all some of the newest updates to Iclone 8 and Character Creator 4.
First I will show you how you can transfer multiple characters from iclone to Unreal Engine 5 and record multiple animations using the new timecode setting in livelink. Second, I will show you how you can subdivide characters in Character Creator 4 to be exported to Unreal Engine 5.

Some iclone 8, livelink QOL improvements to my workflow!
I can create, because of all the sliders and add-ons I have in character creator 3, nearly any form of human conceivable, what would character creator 4 offer me above that? I transfer those characters to iClone 7, animate them in various ways and then use acculips for the text to speech. I perform all my productions in Unreal Engine. How would iClone 8 be an advantage to me.
Persuade me as to why I should purchase character creator 4 and iClone 8, considering how I use what I have now.
As always much appreciate the clear tutorial. This video help me with my project... its been weeks trying to connect Iclone with unreal engine. great work
glad it helped mate!
Best tutorial yet Thank You ive been looking for just this im hoping it will also work for transferring crowd simulation. Youre the Best and easy to understand
Yo bro! Thanks so much for this awesome tut, it’s been a while since I follow your vids on mocap and VR(all awesome), and I gotta say I found this to be particularly useful and handy to implement in my own pipeline for this indie short film of my own, I finally managed to transfer my characters from iclone straight into UE along with their animations (I used an awinda xsens suit and also found your vid on that super helpful (thanks again). appreciated. Thnx. peace!
Very clear steps and explanation! Great job, thanks!
yw!
Aaand, thank you for including the lighting part! ☺️
YW! get ur pc setup already
@@Jsfilmz hmmm. Sorta? I can't install the Epic installer. Everything else went in fine. I've gone through all the suggested fixes, but stopped at editing my DNS settings, because There Be Dragons. I think it's back to the repairman it goes. SIGH
Finally a tut that works as I want it to. Xlent!! Subbed of course.
Im only at seven minutes, and already this is going to make things so much easier to set up. Holy cow
keep in mind this is all characters you bring to iclone even ones your rig with accurig from my understanding
Nice job! 👏
thanks team! tell your team great job on the additions!
Great tutorial! Thank you!
thanks mate
Awesome vid dude! Will need to check out iclone
they usually have black friday sales too
Thanks for keeping me up to date on this stuff! It's so dam awesome! Sorry for the dumb question, but does Screen Percentage change the render also or just the viewport? If just the viewport, how do you bump it up on the render?
no just editor
thanks for your courses, In this scenario i have a question, how i sincronice the sequencer in the same time i play iclone to put bombs and lights guns at the same time record ?
A very helpful video!
If you have any trouble, please let me know. The accessories attached to the character were transferred from CC to UE following the steps in the video. However, the coordinates of the accessory move to a position away from the person. Is there any solution?
Great stuff! Can I save Live Face Animation + Character with High Subdivision and follow the first part of your workflow? You followed older workflow in 2nd part but I could theoretically save High Subdivision avatar and follow easy workflow?
yes subdivided can be animated if thats what ur askin
Beautiful! I was wondering if CC4 offers the option of hair physics as well?
Yes, you can add and edit hair physics, but it doesn't transfer quite right into UE. But if you have it set up, you can edit it in UE and make it better.
Nice work. I've used Reallusion stuff before. Think it's a little overpriced when you consider the quality isn't anywhere close to Metahuman. They are lot lighter though and seem to run well in game. Also, the Livelink functionality is pretty awesome! Although they do need to make looping animations easier.
Quick question, are you entering the KitBash 3D Mission to Minerva challenge? If so, how's it going? Are you going to do any videos/livestreams on work in progress? I like watching your development process. :)
hey mate so i use iclone like motionbuilder so not for renderings but editing animations, Motionbuilder is like $2k a year iclone i paid $690+ during black friday and thats a one time payment. Im not entering kitbash im done with challenges they are too political
@@Jsfilmz I guess if you can get a sweet deal on their software, it’s not too bad. I must admit, I have been tempted. This workflow would suit me as a non-animator.
Political? How so? I think the challenges epic games run are a little political and very poorly managed. Winners seem to be the ones that make UE look good, and less about meeting the criteria for the challenge.
I’m hoping KB3D are different. I actually came 3rd in their industrial challenge using UE back in 2019… before they even made their kits for game engines!

@@Jsfilmz The black friday price is the member price the complete year, this is scam!
Hey @jsfilmz Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have an issue, do you know why the characters textures are importing from iclone to Unreal? When I transfer my character it comes into Unreal all black. Thanks!!!
make sure u install the plugin
hi, great video as always. Are you able to tell what are the differences between Omniverse vs UE x Iclone pipeline? IIn search of good rendering results tried Omniverse as Reallusion stated there is an alliance and support but it is not as spectacular as I thought (many errors). I decided to go for blender where I am buidin out scene and just import FBX characters from IC8 but UE ooks way more natural as an animation pipeline due to live link.
for hardsurface omniverse all day until they get photorealistic humans in there, if you want photorealistic human renders then metahumans, i use iclone for animation stuff
thx for the video if u got the time can u explain how u get the hair looking like that? all i get is some ugly square haircards
Bro, I just got Iclone 8 three days ago, and it's amazing how easy and fun it is to use. Now you're making tutorials on how to use it, making it amazing x 10.
Thanks man.
oh bro iclone is under rated for animation
@@Jsfilmz true, I was planning not get it for years, but wasn't sure if it's going be useful for me. However when they released Iclone 8 they sealed it.
It's much easier now to clean your animations and add adjustment on them. Pulse you can import almost any type of skeletons and it will be transformed automatically. 👍
when you created this file in unreal engine 5 was it in Architectual set up or games?
12:10 What happens if you import another group animation like that does it overwrite all of those characters in unreal or make duplicates?
I have a question. Does the ActorCore site have sets and locations? Is there a place to get locations & sets? I.E. offices, living rooms etc. I am a beginner and looking for the easiest way to start. Thanks
Great explanation! Do you have this plugin working in 5.1?
its not out yet i dont think
Great tutorial i reference it lots but one thing. I am bringing it into cinematics and works fine but when i try to render it out it does not render the animations just a still frame am i missing something?? Please help
QUESTION: AT 17:25 you don't show how to "keep" that animation in a world. Would you drag the sequence it or how do you do that?
im not understanding the question broski. once you record the animation it bakes it as a sequence if that makes sense
@Jsfilmz thanks for the fast reply. We'll, it makes a new sequence. How do you get that in your mainline or animation level sequence. I can do it one way by adding the character in a sequence AND THEN find the animation and linking it but it's so complicated. I was wondering if you can drag the sequence in. Notice it makes a "new take". Make sense?
@@Jsfilmz Actually, I think I figured it out. I WAS able to Drag that sequence into my World Scene animations sequence. The way the I am setting it up is with a Master Sequence where I have multiple Camera Shot Sequences as well as an Animation Sequence. So in my master I have 2 tracks, Shot Track and Animation track. I was wondering how to get that animation sequence in my Master. At first I was Dragging my Character into my Animation sequence and then LINKING the animation to that character but that way I would have to link every animation to every character. The best way was to drag that sequence I just recorded INTO my animation sequence. That works.... now I am wondering what if I need to add more animation to that same character tho. I wonder would I do it through loading other fbx animations or hummm. This is why I sent you a message on Artstation again. :) But I am happy I worked out this. Thanks Bro. I love you. :) haha.
can this live link transfer oblects from unreal with the texture on them? I only ask because there's an envirament I want to put into iClone that's in unreal and finding all the textures would take a long time
man i honestly dont know ive never brought anything to iclone like that besides this, you will just have to try i think u can but im not 100 percent sure
Have you run across crashes during the render using this timecode method? I get an error saying "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION". I was thinking it was because I disconnected my Live Link session before rendering. But even after restarting and reconnecting live link a bunch of times, it still crashes every time. Have any idea how to fix this or do I need to record a new session and not disconnect live link before rendering?
Well redoing the take and keeping everything connected didnt work. Not sure whats causing this now.
Any tips on how to make the hair from CC characters work in Unreal with path tracer? It looks like it’s a transparent mess.
J, thanks for the video. Question, Oninverse vs Unreal 5? What's your opinion in a battle between the two.
It wont really be a fair comparison Unreal Engine was created 1998, Omniverse is still in beta hahahaha. Be like comparing a Completed Painting to a sketch
@@Jsfilmz hahahaha..u calling omni a sketch...
@@cthrower yea man i see the potential of it for sure but yea it wouldnt be an apple to apple comparison. give it 5-10 years
When I transfer from iclone to unreal, my character is just all brown/black. What did I miss that it has no texture at all?
dude you are a teacher
hahaha what do you mean? lol
@@Jsfilmz as I said "Teacher Dude" haha
@@StyleMarshall hahahahaha
Could you go through how to set up your shaders/materials so that the char's look identical to the one from CC4/Iclone8? I find that my characters textures look like poop when I export to UE5...
do u use the autosetup?
@@Jsfilmz i use the plugin livelink to UE5...is that the autosetup?
@@poochyboi nah thats not i used the autoset up here
@@Jsfilmz oh nice i used the autoset up and the textures are so much better. i actually impressed with how well it takes textures and accurately portrays them in UE compared to imports from other softwares like blender.
Your techniques worked well. But 1 issue I'm having with hair is that it looks grainy, and idea what's causing this? It comes out grainy like an iray render that hasn't gone through enough iterations.
feed it samples noise usually resolves with more samples unfortunately
Genuine request for guidance:
I've recently found myself more interested in watching videos such as these vs. playing any games currently available.
What advice would you have for someone looking to break into environment / world creation?
im actually been trying to get into environment creation as well but man i just havent had time and trust me mate if I spent so much time playing video games before that i said enough is enough, let me learn something instead and here we are
@@Jsfilmz do you feel UE5 is a good place to start? Recommend some other software to establish familiarity?
I haven't had a PC aside from work hardware in many years. Trying to decide how much up front investment I should be willing to part ways with.
Side note, I've dropped ~$2000 in Fallout 76 items, primarily focused on building objects.
Had a bit of a eureka moment after stumbling across your channel and taking a rough estimation of what that money could have acquired for me, elsewhere.
Any pre-built gaming PC companies you trust more than others?
Hello sir can you make a tutorial about cloth and hair physics tooo
Hey!
Can you help teach me how to do this on google meets?
I juat C A N T get the physics to work SOMEONE please make a step by step tutorial, i have seen the Reallusion one, but something must be missing because it does not work. I tried Baking, that did not work, so what are the settings for physics to work in unreal? with Live Link?
Do you have the latest auto setup for ue5.1?
can you create a video with the 4090 with the burned forest again please?
of course
Hey pls try different budget gpu like rtx 3050 rx 6600 for an unreal development to see the average requirements to become game developer
fam i have seen some stuff they are testing at epic only with one phone to replace mocap with ai and one phone
one camera is pretty common mate even omniverse has it
@@Jsfilmz but do to what a mocap can do and live and no need for cleaning with ai
I think j it's easier to get a full iclone scene working correctly into Omniverse Create than it is to get it into UE5. Even Blender does it batter.. its a shame because UE5 can produce amazing visuals
