Beginner GUIDE to Importing Characters w/ Animation to Unreal Engine 5 from CC4 or iClone 8
286Hey everyone! In this video, I'm walking you through how to export a custom character from @reallusion Character Creator 4 (CC4) into iClone 8 and then bring it all into Unreal Engine 5. If you’ve ever felt stuck with settings or just want to streamline your process, this is for you!
Here's What We'll Cover:
Export Settings: Keep your character’s world position, set the T-pose as the bind pose, and use high-poly meshes like a pro.
Send to iClone 8: I'll show you the best way to send your character over with all the right settings.
Correct UE5 Import: We’ll use the free Auto Setup plugin to automatically create high-quality shaders—super easy and efficient!
Animation Tip: I’ll also guide you on combining animations and baking them with the awesome CC Control Rig plugin from Reallusion.

My journey into animation began brick by brick. As a child, my brothers and I spent countless hours crafting elaborate LEGO worlds and bringing them to life through stop-motion films captured on our dad's DV camcorder. This wasn't just playtime; it was the spark that ignited my passion for storytelling and the magic of animation.
Witnessing my older brother delve into the world of creative arts further fueled my ambitions. Inspired by his path, I took a leap of faith and pursued the same, even in the face of some uncertainty. Today, that childhood fascination has blossomed into a fulfilling career (or ongoing pursuit) in animation, where I continue to bring stories and characters to life, one frame at a time.
