1. Exporting blendshapes from CC3 and importing into Maya
- After Opening CC3:
- Once you have downloaded Character Creator 3 software, open the program and in the content window, select base icon (It has two people), there will be several drop downs, select "Full body" and choose a CC3 female or male base.
-
After you select the base model, you are ready to export as a fbx file
-
Export settings
- Make sure you select Unreal.
- FBX Options are Mesh and Motion.
- Under include motion select "Current Pose"
- Make sure "Delete hidden faces" IS NOT CHECKED (this is for blendshapes).
Download your character as FBX. It should already be rigged and in a T-Pose. (Your character should start out as a t-pose by deafault).
