    Justin, I have been trying to use DAZ figures, but wanting to apply permanent creases to the faces (NOT as part of an expression), but I keep getting stymied by the need to only use DAZ's "Base Resolution". Does CC allow for working in Blender at a higher subdivision level? I saw in your video that you can't *_change_* the SubD Levels, but are the levels higher (than DAZ) to begin with? Thank You for tackling this difficult subject! EDIT: I think it uses the normal map to include the additional HD info.

    I always make sure I subscribe to you and watch your tutorials because you understand how to explain things in a practical way. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for being that the Reallusion Tutorials simply show you what you can do but don't explain how to do it! I think they are more apt to call that a Tease in the Advertising World and not a Tutorial!

    @flammable2002 9 місяців тому

    For future iClone tutorials: I'd love to know the fastest/simplest way that you animate a characters movements manually (using available premade movements). Mapping out their path, etc. and then also having them interact accurately with the environment (walking up/down inclines and stairs, picking up objects, etc.) Motion Director is cool, but sometimes I just need to jump in quickly and create a specific animation in limited time, for things like simple previs etc.

  • @hsan.1951

    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.

  • @lifestoryentertainment

    Do you have any idea about the tongue? Not many people are talking about it. My characters tongues don’t move at all. I’m starting with a CC3 character. I open it in CC4, I convert it from Standard to Extended from there I can see the sliders for the tongue, throat swallow and a few more details with nose tip and chin, but they aren’t active. In other words, I can see the tongue controls but they are greyed out. I have around 60 CC3 characters. How can I fix this? I don’t want to have to start over just to use CC4. I did create a test CC4 character today, then I exported it to iClone8. When I record using motion LIVE the tongue doesn’t move. Does this mean I have to rely on the sound to drive the tongue via Viseme in the timeline? There is barely any talk about this, and so much personality is in the tongue. I wrote to Reallusion, the forum, anyone I’ve found using these programs, and have been researching and no luck with this. Is there anyone who can share this? Should I drop trying to use these motion live and use live face? I would greatly appreciate the help. ⭐️
