It was caused by the glitch of CC itself which has a quite long story and it is still not being fixed yet
Anyone with problems showing wrinkles in blender, go export a CC default character Camila or Kevin via this addon and it will generate a fbxkey file, use this fbxkey file to import your customized character FBX file to do a "laundry" and your problem is gone. and don't forget to auto-adjusting the bone in CC to fix this laundry's side effects.

And most glitches in CC like IC exporting errors can be fixed by this laundry.

Hi everyone, I have noticed that e.g. color adjustments of skin or hair in CC3 (Material tab -> Material Settings -> Diffuse Color) are not transferred to Blender. I have to change the color in the material in Blender via Mix RGB Node afterwards. Maybe I did something wrong in CC3? Or is this a missing feature?

I have a case in which I import a character from CC4 to Blender and I separate arms and head in different objects. This a common scenario to create first person characters. When I export to Unity from Blender, the bones in the SkinnedMeshRenderers are always assigned to the root bone, which is incorrect. The main problem caused by this behaviour is that Unity will cull the separated objects during animations as the bounds of the objects will not move with the correct bones.

The issue can be reproduced by exporting a character to Unity from CC4 and comparing the resulting SkinnedMeshRenderers to the ones produced by exporting the same character from the Blender add-on.

As a workaround, the option "Always Animate" can be enabled for the Animator component. However, activating it has an effect on performance in Unity as the bound of each object have to be recalculated every frame.

Regards.

In Blender, Jaw open and Viseme V_Open don't work:

This is how it should be in CC4:

Reason:
In CC4, Facial morph "Jaw Open" and Viseme morph "V_Open" are not just a morph, it is a driver which combines a morph and rotation of Jaw_Root bone.

But after export cc4 character into fbx, this driver is gonna. So, if we import this fbx into blender or any other 3d tool, shape key "Jaw Open" and "V_Open" is no longer a driver, so it won't rotate the Jaw_Root bone, and mouth won't open.

Solution:
In Daz to Blender's bridge addon, it offers 2 kind of solutions for something like this:

• Addon create a new shape key with python expression in it, so this new shape key is actually a driver, which can set multiple shape keys and bone rotations.

• Or, addon panel has a new section for all morphs, all sliders in this section are drivers. User no longer adjusts shape key on body mesh, only use these drivers on addon panel for morphs.

To handle mouth open for CC4, I think this addon need to do something similar, or ask Reallusion converts all those "mouth open" drivers into a real morph when exporting to fbx.

PS: Brow shape keys have the same issue.

I am experiencing this error while trying to load a cc3 character with clothing.

I can successfully use the plug-in on a standard, CC4 character e.g. Kevin that I've "round-tripped" from CC4 to Blender and then back to CC4 when using the CC4 Menu/PlugIns/Blender Pipeline/ Import character from Blender.

However, my character is a Genesis 8 character imported into CC4 via the Transformer which was then modified in CC4, exported to Blender from CC4 using all the recommended Blender export settings (mesh, no embed, etc); imported into Blender via your CC/iC Pipeline tool (import character, etc) - then exported using the "Export to CC3/4" button.

When I goto round-trip back to CC4 via using the PlugIns/Blender Pipeline/ Import character from Blender - then click "Import Character" button, then click "OK" on the next "Create Assets(s) dialog - it starts to load the FBX file and then I get the error "Failed to load the File".

Using a Windows 10 PC; CC4; Blender 3.1.2

Thank you for creating this amazing PlugIn :0).

Does it work for CC4?

hello this is to inform that options are grayed out in latest version of blender

the options grayed are:
import morph
import accessory

when i try to import fbx shen clicking on import character i get many error messages

If a character with animations is loaded into an existing project that is built with a frame rate other than 60fps, it is always automatically switched to 60fps.
Even if the FBX file was exported from CC with 25fps, this value is ignored and the project is overwritten with 60fps.
This is especially problematic in a scene with existing Alembic and other objects.

When importing FBX files exported with iClone it works fine, only with files exported with Character Creator it does not work.

Again, thanks for the plugin, it's amazing.

For some reason a lot of our textures end up with a V mirror. Importing as fbx honors this and inserts a vector transform node on the uv, sadly this is lost when importing through this plugin.

Hi, I really like this add-on and I'm impressed with how well it works!
However, the hair physics just don't work. I tried everything. I choose to automatically generate physics when importing the character. Everything looks fine. But as soon as I start playing the animation the hair doesn't move (like there are no physics at all). Baking the physics in Blender has no effect. However, the hair physics works in iClone7 as intended. Baking the physics in iClone makes also no difference. Using different hairstyles also doesn't solve this issue. I use Blender 2.93.4 and iClone 7.92. This add-on is already up-to-date.
Did I perhaps miss something?

I have shut down the forehead wrinkles setting entirely in CC and IC, but in blender, it still appears and at 100% strength, I have to replace the wrinkle texture #1 and #3 with the standard face diffuse in the shader to turn the forehead wrinkle off, maybe it's better to have a wrinkle setting control in blender addon.

import the FBX form ICLONE 8.2 and the wrinkles did not show up and the eye material got the wrong SSS setting which makes the eyes look black like they have been cursed

Thanks for your great work!
When I run "bpy.ops.cc3.importer(param="IMPORT_QUALITY")" in python script, blender crash.(It is fine by click on UI:"import Character")
here are the error message:

Can you tell me the way to import model through the addon with python script? thx a lot!

When i press on rigify the characters rig controlls doesnt seem to get in place. just above the character

Hey there,

first of all thanks @soupday for the great addon. Quite an enabler for us.

I have an issue with the "Eye Close" slider. It seems to have no effect.

The "Open Mouth" slider works great.

Could this be an issue resulting from an export from CC4 that is missing something or is this a general issue?

Wehen i Import an animated Charakter with hair physics the mesh explode.Why?

I've tried the latest version of cc3_blender_tools and I am blown away with what you've done. I hardly have to adjust any of the materials after import. Truly stunning.

I do however have an issue with most of the hair I import. I've tried setting the material to Hashed but I'm still having issues in Cycles Render. I've attached a screen shot of my Material Preview, Render Preview and an actual render in Cycles.

Please let me know if you have any idea what is causing the issue or if you can tell me how to adjust the materials to fixe the issue.

Hi.
Trying to import a character from iclone 7.92 into blender 2.93; and encounter error message: included.

Would love some advice about how to solve this.
Many thanks
Shimon

when importing with physics, the geometry of the hair is exploding of not following the target or is shifting and distorting.

hello this is to inform that options are grayed out in latest version of blender

the options grayed are:
import morph
import accessory
export to cc3

when i try to import fbx shen clicking on import character i get many error messages

This problem, the same as here, is fixing with Simplify parameter in a standard FBX exporter, but there is no such paramerer in CCic blender plugin :(

In pose mode, change location of root bones like CC_Base_BoneRoot or CC_Base_Hip to like 100 meters.
It just moves 1 meter, but it displayed as 100m in the panel.

So, bone's location unit is still in cm, which should be meter in blender.

In Object mode, move the whole armature is ok though.

After apply all transform on armature in Object mode, this issue is gone.

So, it must forget to do the apply job in script.

Hello,

I have an error when I want to rebuild basic materials from CC model imported in Blender:

• I use Blender 3.3.0 and Character Creator 4 on PC Windows 10.
• I export the FBX model from CC4 using all recommended parameter from tutorial (Blender preset, no embed texture, etc)
• In Blender, I use the addon to import the CC FBX model, which works fine. However, defaults material are "advanced" node setup, which I don't want. I would like to use "basic" setup.
• I select "Basic" then rebuild => Error (see attached screenshot).

Could you please have a look and correct if this is a bug in the addon?

I don't think the rig is being setup properly. The Arms are stretching and doing funny things and none of the other components seem to be working properly...the heads coming off leaving the teeth behind...the pelvis is rotating with the FK leg components but leaving the legs behind

The main reason for this error is that game base character contains simplified armature. And addon always expect full armature.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Press "Convert to Game base" button in CC3
2. Press "Import Character" button in CC3 addon for blender.
3. After succcessfull import press "Rigify" button in CC3 addon for blender.

I can't download the source .zip files? some HSTS warning in chrome, i tried to search for a fix but nothing works?!

Got this when I'm trying to export my character, do you guys know where the problem is? Thank you!

Blender 3.3.1 LTS and the latest plugin version (1.4.9)

Seem to be running into an issue where an animation retarget will preview just fine, but when Baking Retarget the Rigify armature will only accept the shape keys, not the bones.

I am trying to batch process over twenty .fbx models with a python script.
Unfortunately I can not access bpy.ops.cc3.importer or bpy.ops.cc3.exporter in my script. I don't know which arguments they will take. Can anyone help me further?

Hello I get everything Working good before I press the rigify button，And after I pressing ，My characters 's finger Starts to acting weird By the rig controlls

(When it's in accurig,fingers is working good )
thanks…

I just saw this great addon on CGDive youtube channel. He showed a great use case for this add-on.
One thing i noticed is that there is no option when importing, to check for existing materials. Currently it adds all materials as copies. It would be great if it could find use available mats.

I can try to make this adjustment myself and pull request

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open CC3
2. Open the "CC3 Outfit and Accessory" pack.
3. Add the "Biker Vest.ccCloth" to the default characxter in CC3.
4. Export the character as an iAvatar using the default values (ie no LOD)
5. Open iClone 7.9
6. Import the iAvatar into iClone.
7. Select the character in iCLone and export as FBX. I usually uncheck the "Embed Textures" and check "Delete Hidden Faces" You can select current frame or range.
8. Open Blender 3.0.1 (I dont think this is version specific to Blender)
9. Using the CC3 addon for Blender, import the character in FBX format.

The following error message appears in the Blender Info Log:

Python: Traceback (most recent call last):

Note: I have only found this to happen with the biker vest, not with any other assets in that pack. From the stack trace it could be argued that this is not a CC3 addon error, but an FBX import error. However, I encountered this via the CC3 addon and it only happens with this biker vest model. I'm posting it here in case you know of a better place to post it.

Thanks, as always!

The ActorCore to Rigify quick rig function is great.
I just wish it would keep the Metarig in the scene so that you can tweak it.
The main reason is that sometimes the fingers are not generated correctly so I want to go back an tweak their orientation a tiny bit.

After using the plugin to import the CC3+ character and then exporting it back out from Blender as a FBX the textures are missing. This is after selecting copy path and embed textures in the export dialogue. If the character is imported via the standard Blender FBX import process and then exported out with again copy path and embed textures then the textures are there when importing it back in again

I have import fbx from CC3 to Blender 3.1 issue as bellow, how can i fix that?

I have a CC3 character who's eyes show a glassy black orbs in Blender 3.01. I have a link to the output here. It's only this specific character that seems to have the problem. All of my other CC3 characters (animated in the latest iClone) have eyes that show normally. I can provide the Blender file, the character FBX export from iClone or any other file you need for analysis. I have looked at the shaders for the other characters with the "good" eyes ands their shader looks slightly different from this one (ie no scalara on the black eyeed character)

I'm using the latest version of CC3, iClone and Blender 3.0.1 and version 1.1.9 of the CC3 tool (which is a Godsend!).

1. I exported a simple char form cc3
2. i imported with the addon in blender

result: My button for export for cc3 is greyed out
hence, everything I do is in vain as I cannot export it for cc3.

hello! when i click import character i get this wierd result

i just exported from character creator "camila" charater
Plugin version 1.5.3 blender version 3.4.1

I have shut down the forehead wrinkles setting entirely in CC and IC, but in blender, it still appears and at 100% strength, I have to replace the wrinkle texture #1 and #3 with the standard face diffuse in the shader to turn the forehead wrinkle off, maybe it's better to have a wrinkle setting control in blender addon.

Hi, I'm facing this JawOpen shenanigans, where the shape/morph does open the jaw at start in CC4 & iClone, but once the character get sent to Blender, it only deforms, waiting for the JawBone to open the jaw. Maybe in CC4 & iClone the JawOpen morph does drive the JawBone, BUT once the characters gets back in CC4 with the pipeline/autoSetup, the JawOpen morph stops opening the jaw/driving the JawBone.
Maybe I'm missing something, but this seems to be a tiny showstopper that prevents the whole pipeline to be viable.
Thanks for any help.

Description:
After applying the Rigify setup to my model in Blender I am unable to re-import it back into CC4. Would appreciate some help with this if it's my fault.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Export FBX from CC4 w/ Blender Pipeline plugin
2. Import FBX to Blender w/ CC Pipeline plugin
3. Click Rigify in CC Pipeline plugin
4. Select all
5. Export to CC3/4 (plugin)
6. Import to CC4 w/ Blender Pipeline Plugin

Result: Error -> "Failed to load the file".

Hi! I just installed this Addon, the latest version. I exported an only slightly altered example-project from CC4 (Camile one) as FBX with InstaLOD active for Texture merge.
When I "Import Character" I get a brief error message (attached), than it imports the character. In Eevee however the merged material is transparent even though the material node looks just fine (in Cycles material looks better). Other than this, the whole panel doesnt appear to recognize a Character. Rigging & Animation tab, that I needed, shows "No Current Character!".

Please send help :)

I have a CC4 character but with only the head in Blender - then exported as fbx. When back in CC4 , I'm getting the error: "Fail to load the file" using the CC4 Menu/PlugIns/Blender Pipeline/ "Import character from Blender".

Is there a way to have your plugin work for a head bust only?

Hey there!

I rendered a character in Cycles (plugin set to Cycles textures) using a lighting setup (no HDR) and the result is attached. Any idea why we are seeing jagged edges and lines on her arms, shoulders, chest and legs? I only see this in the render and not in the preview window.

P.S. an artist and I are interested in working on some things with you, could you please provide a way for us to get in touch? My email is [email protected]

I am attempting to change the color of any of the clothing items for ActorCore "party-f-0001" character, per the YouTube tutorial "ActorCore 3D Charactor Color Material & Adjustments in Blender."

When I activate any one of the Color ID Mask color channels, as shown in the video tutorial, the model turns pink (see screengrab) and I am not able to see or adjust the clothing item color.

I suspect it is something stupidly simple that I am doing wrong! Please give me any suggestions.

I am using Blender 3.3.0 on Mac Monterey 12.6.1

As suggested by the title, an error message poped up upon importing the character to blender.
This issue only appears with plugin version 1.2.2 - latest.

The import seems to be incomplete as all materials includes only diffuse and normal map. The custom node group that comes with earlier version import is also missing.

The detailed error message are as follows

Please check eyelash materials are not setup properly, I had to setup manually a mix shader.

What is the name of the file to download and how do I download it ?
I am logged into github, but there is no download link.
