#Blender #CharacterCreator #Reallusion - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Character Creator, iClone and Blender is the perfect combo!!! This is definitely the perfect tools for 3D artists. When you add Unreal Engine to the equation, then you have a power house!!! Reallusion is really taken things to a whole new level. Well done!!!!
this is so sick man i recently acquired CC and is just making my home world so much easier as a begginer in 3D, thanks guys!
This is epic, I spent hours trying to figure this out on my own. There was no way in Blender to sculpt the model but retain the shape keys for the facial animation. I just tried out sculpting using these addons and got an absolutely perfect result! Thanks Russell and Reallusion.
Concise, well structured tutorial - excellent.
Great video - very concise and easy to follow steps.
I knew about the addon in blender but not about the plug in for CC!! I asked in the forums and didn’t get help, though I think I might’ve posted in the wrong section tbf. That’s amazing!
Fantastic information! Thanks!!
You guys really do a great job!!
Bravo! That makes life easier.
Thank you so much! This tutorial helps a lot :D
Looks amazing guys! :D
awesome video and thank you so much
Such a wonderful video
😳😲😲😲😲😲...thats amazing!
yeah this doesn't work like this. I use CC4 and the pluging doesn't show in the cc4 plugin list. I did the zip uzipping and moved it in the direction like shown, but there is no blender option on the plugin menu list
Great video!
Thanks Victor
👍👍👍
Russell, how do you get the shape keys for mouth shapes for a character you made in blender to carry over into Character Creator 4?
amazing. Hoping to use this workflow with the Blender face builder plugin. I think it's a better (more precise) workflow than headshot which works great in certain instances. I know i could do it with morphs as well. Actually, it occurs to me that I would use both.
There's a Facebuilder plugin?
Hello thanks for this wonderful video. but for some reason i am not able to add this CC3 add on in blender. Is it removed or pipeline changed ?
I would love to see an Unreal cutscene tutorial with multiple character interaction and dialogue.
Hi if i may ask please can i make the same process for example , character creator to blender to customize then back to character creator to finalize then to unreal engine whether to animate or work on my character there ?
Does anyone know how this will handle hair particles from blender back into CC3? Does that work flawlessly?
Hi. and what happens if i want to posing the character in blender? The plugin for blender will import good the rigging and controls automatically or we need to fix things manually?
I'm thinking of using both of these amazing programs for my projects. One question, can I add more bones to the character to create tails or wings and then animate them in iClone?
I think u can if u transfer the character to blender u cand edit anything u want
@@blacklord3212 только перенести обратно, чтобы при этом ещё и работало корректно, вряд ли возможно.
We really want to see how to create new normal maps if we make changes to the mesh with alpha brushes pls!
Yes! I second this!
If openplugin folder not showing in cc3 then you should know that python plugin only work from character creator 3.44. If your character creator is lower version than 3.44 then plugin will not appear.
How do we add to the process if we want to texture using Quixel Mixer or Marmoset Toolbag 4? ie. we make the character in CC3 (or CC4)... bring it into Blender... now we want to texture the model in Quixel Mixer and/or Marmoset Toolbag 4... and then bring it back into CC3 or CC4 with the rigging and everything else still intact?
We need a round trip for maya aswell
hi, how about chracter creator 4 the plugin "CC3 Blender Tools Plugin" i want to reimport exactly like you did but doesn't work
I've found a tutorial checkout "Rampa Tinling" channel "Import CC4 character back into CC4"
1- you need to load "CC3 base mesh" in Character Creator 4 and modify it a little bit then export it as FBX for blender. 2- import the character through the addon
3-you should see " Export to CC3/4 " in the addon is clickable to export your model
4- in Character Creator 4 click on create character choose the first option Avatar CC
Is it possible to create non human characters in CC3, and add custom rig, like in CTA4
🤦🏾♀️So much to learn in Blender but I’m up for the challenge lol🙃
Can you support deeper for Cinema 4D?
CC3 add-on not working for me in blender 3.0. When I attempt to import an FBX model from CC3 in the add-on, I get a long Python error message. Only way to get around this was purchase the Better FBX add-on and I was finally able to import CC3 FBX, but it had lots of issues that I am trying to fix. Any ideas how to work around this so I can benefit from CC3 add-on?
blender auto setup now showing in the pluggin menu? please help
I follpw the instructions when I import the character to blender, it walks in place not translating properly stays on the origin and walking in place.
hi guys. I have a problem. when I do exports blender to cc4 and to iclone8. unfortunately lost eye movement in the face puppet.
The Character Creator addon won't show up on my addon list in Blender even though I followed the video instructions here step by step..
Any idea why in CC4 the character gets exported only and T-pose. So I make accessories in blender and send them into CC4 , but for some reason every time I put the character in T-pose so the accessories like bracelets sit exactly on the wrists, the minute I click the bracelets the character jumps back into A-pose!? This doesn't let me attach them to the hands.
Hmmm sadly i dont get the Blender to CC3 Autosetup listet in my Plugin Tab 🤷♂️
Looks awesome but its not working for me very sad ...
Edit: U need CC3 version 3.44.4709.1
does-it work ? I got it listed in plugin menu but when I launch it and import my fbx nothing happen...
Does this solution work for cc4 too?
1 thing how to enable Floor Plane in Character creator 4 ? 😅
I'm not sure why, but when I import my character into blender, none of the textures are applied.
link of pyhton plugin plz??
Will you guy ever release for Mac?
I'd love to see that as well. but I'm not holding my breath. I'm a Mac person who bought a win machine just for IC and CC.
@@FatCatAlleyMinute 😔😔😔 that’d be great though!
How do you get the textures out of CC4?
4:05 check Embed textures, the FBX will include the textures; otherwise, it will generate a separate folder containing the textures.
