Hopefully Reallusion officially adopts this as they Did the Blender and Autodesk Max Pipeline in tools

Thanks for sharing^^ I was also thinking about creating a general CC4 → C4D topic somewhere on this forum (if possible). As there is not yet a ‘C4D’ subcategory under pipeline. To have a general ‘goto place’ for questions, suggestions and issues regarding all things C4D (and CC4D Tools) related

You could just start a thread under General /3D animation
and title it something like “The official Iclone/CC4 to C4D Discussion thread”
I would second @AutoDidact on this. Just create a specific thread for the CC4 to C4D workflow under Pipeline—CC4D Tools is supposed to help with the CC4 to C4D pipeline after all (as I did here).
As you mentioned, there is no subsection specifically for C4D in the Pipeline category, and I don’t expect there to be one any time soon. C4D does not get the same kind of love other third-party DCCs receive (either from Reallusion or from individual developers—maybe that’ll change).
Just be sure to add the “cinema-4D” tag to the thread.

Is anybody using this CC4D tool? It looks pretty powerful, tho, it seems like it would mean animating in C4D instead of making use of iClone’s set of animation tools(?)

Hi Tim
actually it means you would import your characters one time setup redshift materials and retarget/replace new animations from Iclone to the CC4 control rig repeatedly
and when you need any adjustments (Minor or major) you have proper viewport rig controls instead of Drilling down into the object manager hierarchy looking for a forearm bone etc. Like how he imports a reallusion motion here 4:30

Hello everyone,
I use this tool. It works exactly as shown in the video. I have not yet tested the new material import.
Best regards
Peter

I have the tool, but I haven’t really used or updated it yet (I’m not doing any character work at the moment).
