Does the Auto Setup for 3ds Max work with CC5 characters?

Hi,
does the Auto Setup for 3ds Max work with CC5 characters?
Does it have limitations? The current version is based on CC3+ from what I know.

Since the new CC5 HD characters are based on CC3+, I assume there should not be any problems with basic import at least. But what I wonder is whether it will include and import all the new expression and HD detail properly as well?

Will there be an update for the 3ds Max version? I read an article about the future of the auto setup but only Unreal and Blender were mentioned.

Thank you!

Hi,

To clarify the compatibility:

Yes, the current Auto Setup plugin is compatible with 3ds Max 2025.

  • Mesh & Skeleton: You can successfully import CC5 characters, and the geometry/rig will work fine (since they use the standard CC3+ base).
  • HD Features: The plugin will not automatically set up the new Digital Human Shader 2.0, HD Expression Profiles, or the new wrinkle map system.

Thanks!

This doesn’t answer if whether or not the plugin will be updated to support those hd features though

The plug-in will be updated to support CC5 HD characters but unfortunately I don’t have a specific timeframe for when this will be available.
