![]() ![]() The exported character is fully compatible with the UE4 default rig, and that can save you some time if you are using one of the UE4 templates. My computer is not a top of the line computer (it's a 4 th generation 3.6GHz Core i7 with 16 Gb of RAM, an SSD drive and a Geforce GTX 970 I acquired back in 2015), and newer computers would export higher resolution characters in less time. However, when I tried exporting 4K textures, it took around 15 minutes to export the file. I tried exporting 2K textures and it finished in just a few minutes. ![]() ![]() One thing to keep in mind is that higher texture size equals higher export time. I am unsure if Character Creator includes animation tools, because I haven't explored the software enough, but it seems it doesn't, so I think facial and body animation is something that I'd either have to do by hand, inside Maya, or inside iClone. Those also import into Unreal Engine with no issue. I noticed the exported character had no facial bones, but it includes a lot of facial morphs for facial animation. After fixing the material and the alpha texture, I got what you see below. The material's alpha texture was redirected incorrectly and also the transparency mode was wrong (it was set to translucent). One thing I noticed is that the material came in with the wrong settings, because it reads the material from the FBX file and then converts it to a UE4 material. I imported the FBX file into Unreal Engine, and it brought in all the textures and also materials for the different elements (in this case, since I exported the woman with the underwear, I had two materials, one for the body and another one for the underwear). Another thing you can do is combine the textures as a single texture, which is very useful for game development since it helps save video memory. I tested the Unreal Engine preset and exported the character as FBX. When you export as FBX you have different options and even software presets. The base software includes a good number of morphs, but you can purchase add-ons that offer more face and body morphs. Character Creator is similar to Poser, as it offers a base character and then lets you modify all the different body parts. ![]()
