🔦 Beginner Guide: Unreal Auto Setup (All-in-One) — LiveLink Made Simple for New Users

Hi everyone,

Today I want to share a great beginner-friendly resource from our Columnist WarLord for anyone hesitant to jump into Unreal Engine. Reallusion’s free Unreal Auto Setup (All-in-One) installer bundles everything you need — including LiveLink — into a single, simple setup, removing the technical hurdles that used to make the iClone-to-Unreal connection intimidating for newcomers.

:point_right: What’s the workflow about?

  • Install LiveLink and Auto Setup together in one package via the Reallusion Hub
  • Copy the Content and Plugin folders into your Unreal project (project-dependent step)
  • Choose between FBX Export/Import (manual, with optional auto Control Rig creation) or Transfer by LiveLink (faster, no name-matching needed)
  • Activate LiveLink in iClone and add it as a source in Unreal
  • Use Landmarks or the iClone Origin to line up the iClone and Unreal 3D workspaces
  • Leverage the UE Control Rig later on for advanced body/facial animation control

Take a look at the full guide here — great starting point if you’re new to the iClone-Unreal pipeline: https://magazine.reallusion.com/2026/06/09/unreal-auto-setup-all-in-one-for-beginners/
