CC Link Direct Link Integrates Character Creator with iClone
The CC Link acts as a dynamic bridge that connects Character Creator and iClone. This specialized connection allows seamless character transfer between both platforms, maintaining all structural and animation complexity ready to use. π
A Bridge that Preserves All Character Data
Upon activating this link, the model is transferred with its complete bone hierarchy, Headshot facial controls, body proportions, and clothing deformation. This avoids manual exporting and importing of files, significantly speeding up the production process.
Key Advantages of CC Link:- Transfers bone structure and skin weights without losing configurations.
- Preserves sliders for facial expressions and body shape parameters.
- Maintains clothing layers and their realistic deformation properties.
βThe biggest challenge is no longer making the character move realistically, but deciding which exaggerated facial expression to give it among so many options.β - User comment.
Workflow with Real-Time Synchronized Data
The connection is active, meaning adjustments made to the model in Character Creator are instantly reflected in the open iClone scene. This is ideal for refining appearance, testing different garments, or adjusting expressions while locking in an animation.
Live Link Features:- Materials, skin settings, and clothing update without reimporting.
- Animators can start working immediately in iClone with the final asset.
- Optimizes iterations and reviews during pre-production.
Full Animation with iClone's Native Tools
Once in iClone, the character retains its complete animation system. Users can employ all the software's tools, such as Motion Live for real-time motion capture or the animation curve editor, to manipulate character attributes. Skin and fabric deform coherently and realistically during movement, enabling efficient creation of complex sequences with hyperrealistic characters. This total interoperability eliminates technical bottlenecks and focuses effort on creativity. π¬
