Good job Russell !!! I like your high energy and fast paced presentation style. Thanks for making learning fun.

[@RussellMidfield]

Thanks so much for the continuing support! 🙏

[@Polyessther]

Hi Russel! Super good Tutorial! Thank you ! I tried to change my morphs but don't have the icon to update "lock-in" the expression. Do you, or some one else in this thread have any ideas why? I work on CC4 so it should be there right?

[@RussellMidfield]

@Polyessther thanks poly! Oh interesting, I'm not sure off the top of my head. I'll try and take a peek later!

[@jefawgalit]

This is great! Been waiting for you to comeback

Thanks Jefaw! Yeah some cool stuff for sure! Appreciate the support, I hope you're killing it out there!

[@fearcry]

Another awesome video, thank you for sharing Russell I know you put a lot of hard work into it😍

[@RussellMidfield]

Thanks Xuan! Loving your stuff, your models are always so good, I wish I was half as good as you are!

[@fearcry]

Thank you for your kind words Russell😃. I'm just an amateur, your artwork and tutorial are awesome. It's time for me to say goodbye to wings3d and Hello to blender😃.

[@RussellMidfield]

You should become a professional! A game company would be lucky to have your skills, your models are always so good. Oh yes, Blender has such amazing tools, it may help your models become even better!

[@fearcry]

It will take me a couple more years to become a professional😃. Yes, I am sure I will love blender.

[@RussellMidfield]

Yeah keep working hard and developing your talent, you will be a professional soon! 😊

[@shivangipriya4153]

Thank you so much

[@RussellMidfield]

You're welcome Shivangi! I'm glad if it helped!

[@shivangipriya4153]

Yes so much. Thank you. Do you have any course related CC4 or iclone8?

[@RussellMidfield]

Oh not yet, but I hope to make some soon!

[@shivangipriya4153]

ok, thank you.

[@shivangipriya4153]

Can we make a person jump in water but the camera from inside water on iclone? Can you help me to do video as tutorial in your channel. I hope next tutorial will this. which I could not find any tutorial for this!

[@visuart]

Hey! great job, you actually clarified a lot there for me about the fbx export/import, I've been working with CC4 on fixing hyper realistic blends for my team and I didn't quite get a grasp on that up until now. Lastly, since I'm a harcore Zbrush user and it's one of my primary tools in the studio, and also reallusion focuses on that a lot (GoZ), I've tested the GoZ button of the facial expressions editor, I was able to sent the model to zbrush, modify it, but when I try to GoZ it back to CC4 I always get errors... Have you tried that and could you please make a video on how to use that function, I love how you cut the cheese and go straight to the point. Thanks so much and keep it up!

[@RussellMidfield]

Hey thanks Angel, I'm glad it helped! Oh interesting, sounds like you're doing some pretty cool stuff! Oh yeah, I'm hoping to do some videos on CC4 in the near future since I just got it myself!

[@jeremyhughes77]

Hi Russell, I love your videos! Could you tell me how you are scaling the eyes and pupils on your characters? Also, when I try to scale a bone as part of an expression, I’m getting a save error. I have to move teeth over, but if I scale them, it errors when saving out the updated blend shape.

[@RussellMidfield]

Thanks Jeremy! Oh gosh, I find that I like to work in Blender to affect scale, then import it back again into CC4. Oh that's interesting, I'm not sure I've tried that, I'll poke around and see what I can find!

[@PHATTrocadopelus]

Awesome Russell!! When is this being released?

[@RussellMidfield]

Thanks Phatt! Oh gosh I'm not sure sorry, I hope soon, I really want to try it out!

[@georgiamcclymont3569]

Hey Russell! Do you know where we find the Native Morph Slider Editor in the CC4 Interface? I can't find it anywhere! Thanks for the great video as always!

[@RussellMidfield]

Hey Georgia! Oh gosh I'll have to crack CC4 open tonight to check, let me get back to you!

[@georgiamcclymont3569]

@@RussellMidfield Hey Russell! Did you have any luck with this? Cheers!

[@jr-hc2iv]

your videos are great would you consider making a video showing how to add a mouth and teeth to an already sculpted character so they can have expressions?

[@RussellMidfield]

Thanks jr! Oh yeah that's a good idea for a video, thanks, I'll try and make it happen!

[@jr-hc2iv]

@@RussellMidfield that would be so awesome thanks your videos explain things best of any 3d chanel ive watched i really appreciate them!

[@RussellMidfield]

Yeah no worries! I'm glad they are helping!

[@binyaminbass]

Do you have any video on using the native tools to essentially create a new character?

[@RussellMidfield]

Not really sorry! I did a short one called Roundtrip, goes over how you can take a base character in CC3 and then change it in Blender to make it your own, then import it back into CC3.

[@robinrauber2264]

great video! But I have a problem while following these steps: the expression slider no longer affects the bones after importing it back into CC4. For example, "Jaw open" affects the morph, but no longer opens the mouth or moves the jaw downwards. Do you have any solutions for this? many thanks in advance

[@RussellMidfield]

Oh hmm interesting, and the weighting is all there and hasn't changed?

[@robinrauber2264]

Found a solution: In my case, I had to export the FBX via the "Facial Profile Editor" as "FBX with Frame Sequence". This gives you a keyframe for each shapekey on each frame in the Blender timeline. If you then edit these, the bone transforms will also work when you import them back into CC4.

[@RussellMidfield]

@robinrauber2264 oh nice! Good to know thanks! Lots of tricks to make things work

[@Thechoppers12]

please upload more blender tutorials ...

[@RussellMidfield]

Yeah for sure, sorry about that.

That voxel size 😆 Undo will not save you here
