Rigging the Character with CC4 ‘AccuRig’

In this video, we’ll take our character mesh from ZBrush and bring it into CC4 using the GoZ plugin to start the rigging process using the AccuRig tool. I’m going to show you how to quickly setup the skeleton rig and the main features you need to know to get any humanoid character ready for posing with CC4.

You are very welcome!

Hola. Gracias por todos tus videos siempre son muy claros y educativos. Tengo una pregunta como instalo accurig dentro de character creator? Desde ya muchas gracias

con gusto! el AccuRig, ya viene instalado (en las ultimas versiones de CC4). Hay tambien una version 'standalone' que puedes bajar e installar gratis pero es mas limitada.

[@tomedwardsconcepts]

These are great, thanks for the detailed walkthrough. Do you have a tutorial on texturing using Substance and Zbrush? Did you unwrap using Unwrap in Zbrush? Cheers!

Glad you like it! You click the link here for tutorial on texturing using Substance and Zbrush. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqDcYaV_h913fbM

cool!

[@hgsupertramp]

Nice workflow, gonna try later. Any issue exporting and animating with fibermesh on the mesh on AccuRig ?

FiberMesh will export as mesh but I would not use it with FiberMesh unless it will end up as a solid object without deformations (like short hair)

[@roykelly2346]

Nice video. Do you have a video on how to create a texture map in zbrush?

sure, check out the ZBrushGuides website and in the tutorials page filter by 'texturing' in the 'Theme' tab www.zbrushguides.com/tutorials

[@shivangipriya4153]

Thank you so much, but I cannot do talk for character as no morph for face ( blend shapes) any way to do it on iclone and what is the easy way for do it??

[@crowt.robot.6199]

how come GOZ isnt detecting CC4 and why cant I find a single video about this

[@leion44]

Hi. Can you do a video on getting the face to rig and eyes to work as well? Accurig doesn't allow the face to work like the rest by default.

not yet

Hey Pablo-I'm having an issue where I send my posed model back to ZBrush from CC4 using the plug in drop down on CC4 "send the current pose to ZBrush Pose Tools" my teeth , claws and hooves of my character do not transfer over and stay in their default position inside ZBrush. If I use the Go Z button from CC4 everything transfers over but I loose my subdivisions and polypaint. Why are my teeth, claws and hooves not moving to position with the pose tools? What I'm I doing wrong?

Face rig in character creator

[@TheRealSalvoLaMonica]

why didn't you also explain how to make the face ring to make the character speak?

they don't have that option with accurig just yet

[@TheRealSalvoLaMonica]

@ can you show how to do it?

[@roykelly2346]

Hi, I'm trying to delete my default avatar so I could upload my custom character into character creator. How were you able to get rid of the default avatar?

in CC4? just go to File > New project and don't drag a new avatar.

[@JC-ov8ko]

Pablo, when I select match cc scale to 100 on import, my mesh doesn't show up in the window in cc4. When I don't select it, it shows up? Can you explain what is happening here?

you can try going to the preferences in ZBrush and under the GoZ subpalette, clear the cache and try again. that helps some times.
