Reallusion Tips

Export Mesh and Motion Individually

For some reason, iClone 8 can only export animation with mesh together.

But Character Creator 4 can export only the animation without meshes.

If you want to export the animation from iClone 8 by using Character Creator 4, please try the following steps:

Saving motion clip directly:

Or bake the animation and save the motion clip by using Collect Clip Track:

Then open Character Creator 4 > Apply a character into the viewport > Apply the motion clip of above steps > go to File menu > Export FBX > Now you can export only animation..
