Workaround to CC3/4 Transformer Not Working Properly

[@Tomascolt12Tutorials]

Hello Again long time no see, I was wondering do you know how to animate something like a centaur lower body like Genesis 8 female centaur with, Idles, walk, run, sprint, jump, attack stuff like that I'm working on a project in character creator 4 I know it won't be animate able in cc3 but I'd like to include built in motions or find away to animate using morphs

Assuming you have the proper animations for the character inside of Daz studio you can export and use them just as you would use animations for a horse. You'll have to bring the character in as "other" (and NOT use Transformer) and thus you won't be able to animate the facial expressions the same way (you could conceivably set up the facial rig and there are tutorials - not mine, but Reallusion - on this process but it's not a cakewalk). If someone put a gun to my head and asked me to animate a centaur WITH facial stuff (using the facial tools inside of iClone) I'd create a hybrid that had both the centaur body (using the Daz animations) and combine it with the appropriate Gen figure, hiding faces as necessary (similar to how I animate the head in the "two heads are better than one" video).

Thanks Mike, it's a pain but will give this method a go, hope they fix the issue soon though

[@MikeDKelley]

I think I may have another, better (easy) way to do this. If you have a bit of patience you can wait (I might get something better up this afternoon). The method I show here will ALWAYS work and it's handy because it will handle other things (like masks and bruise maps that don't transfer well if at all from Daz).

@@MikeDKelleyhave you any idea about the lipsync sound mute issue In realtime in iclone 8? I have searched all over the internet,customer support did all volume mixing etc but couldn’t work..😢

[@MikeDKelley]

@@rifaqsarwar1026 Not even sure what you are talking about. Can you elaborate on what is happening (or not happening) for you?

[@rifaqsarwar1026]

Hi @@MikeDKelley! sorry for not so elaborating . yeah, so when I import the voice to Acculips for lip-syncing, the voice sound of the character cant be heard in timeline the sound is there one I rendered out..

If you use the INI to map the texture locations, does it still do this?

[@MikeDKelley]

It does not, and I wrote a Python program to create that ini file and put all the maps needed - be aware, however, that using an ini file in this way takes a LOT longer than doing it the way it used to (even on my NVidia 4090 it took about five to ten minutes). I'm going to create a video for those who might want to use my program.
