Reallusion's Character Creator 3
Hi guys, i want to share my experience with the community about Reallusion's Character Creator tool. Most people probably know iClone from RL, but their character creator tool got a major push with AAA content packs last summer, and since then RL plans to publish Character Creator 3 as a standalone tool. You can download the trial to test out CC2 https://www.reallusion.com/character-creator
The tool is very simple, but does it's job. The problem, you need to buy those extra content packs, and on top of it yet another tool just for exporting in FBX. Though for this tool (3DExchange) there is also a trial.
Currently the trial versions allows for exporting basic modern styled humans. I do not give a straight buy recommendation, since so much money is involved, but in my opinion this is the next big alternative after Mixamo failed. The question is if Character Creator 3 comes without the FBX export limitation, hence is priced more reasonable. Thus, I would suggest to wait until they release CC3, likely in the next three months, second quarter is the targeted release window.
Recently I bought a content pack which is listed at $299, but before this I bought iClone 7 for $129. Once you buy something and register you get a slight discount on all subsequent software purchases (does not count for content packs) purchases. Also if you sign-up for the newsletter as a new customer you get a one time 40% discount code. If you then buy as a registered member 3DExchange, to export FBX, it costs still $349.
Eventually you want extra hair content packs, extra human models and so on. The quality content is still marginal, but okay. For me this seems to work so far, I've exported a character with a cloak attached, then used Unreal's build in NVCloth painting tool to make the cloak react to physics. This is pretty straight forward once you know what kind of values you need to setup. Additional you have to edit all the materials, which are mostly not pretty well imported. Next thing I want to test is exporting characters with morph targets and connect them with an Unreal character creator.
My impression is that they will release more AAA content in the future, since they actively seek quality creators, offering $10k-20 or more. https://developer.reallusion.com/incubation.html
Reallusion seems to attempt to position itself as a new market leader for character creation.
If my post made you curious, try the trial out, and maybe wait for CC3.LEGENDS OF EPICA CS - SPACE ALPHA- 1 like

Will the Characters you export from Character Creator 3 be able to be imported into UE4 and be compatible with the Epic Skeleton is the big question, being able to use any animation packs from the marketplace out of the box would be awesomeComment

Yes they will be compatible, they are compatible now. Issues are, materials are not perfect, colors are off, had to set two-sided for cloak to make it not invisible from the inside. But UE animation retargeting works smooth here.Originally posted by View PostWill the Characters you export from Character Creator 3 be able to be imported into UE4 and be compatible with the Epic Skeleton is the big question, being able to use any animation packs from the marketplace out of the box would be awesome
If I compare those characters with the one I made with Mixamo, those have much cooler gear/cloths, and look more unique, more human like. Problem, it's not free, but if you for instance are in need of some people to fill the main street in your game, then even the current trial software is a good choice.
Also if you export with the trial 3DExchange version, disable exporting 'Motion', since that counts toward your trial export limitations.LEGENDS OF EPICA CS - SPACE ALPHAComment

Animation Blueprints are not automatically created, you need to set this up yourself. To test animations just retarget any UE skeleton animation to it, after you imported the model to an existing UE skeleton. You can use the same skeleton for all your CC imports, and the same animation blueprint too.Originally posted by View Post

Without knowing what exactly the issue is I cannot help you, and I have no time to prepare a pictured tutorial. If you are new to this part of Unreal start with google, ie. Importing characters into Unreal tutorial video etc.Originally posted by View Post

I might release a step by step video guide this month, which will cover all aspects of preparing CC2 characters, importing them, as well as covering morph targets and clothing.Originally posted by View Post

Iclone 7 Character Creator
Iclone Character Creator Morph
iClone is one of the most novice-accessible and non-intimidating animation production apps that boasts a comprehensive toolset for producing realistic 3D renderings with as little time and effort as possible.
Since the creation of character animations is a relatively specialized task, following the same philosophy towards user-friendliness, the team behind iClone have come up with iClone Character Creator Lite.
This said, provided that iClone is already installed on your system, the installation process of iClone Character Creator Lite unfolds in a typical manner, just like any other Windows application.
As mentioned before, the main target here was to create a tool that can offer users a wide array of options for character creation but in an intuitive manner. This said, it quickly becomes quite evident that this add-on is actually based on an extensive collection of humanoid and morph models.
Tattoos and a versatile make-up system are also something that can add a bit more authenticity to your models. The best part is the fact that you can apply these changes by simply clicking a few buttons or with the help of intuitive sliders.
