(OUTDATED) Morph target bug with latest auto setup (1.37.7211.1) with Unreal 5.5.3

UPDATE: THIS IS ALREADY A KNOWN BUG IN UNREAL 5.5 - SEE NEXT COMMENT IN THIS THREAD.

OLD POST:

There seems to be a bug in the latest AUTO SETUP FOR UNREAL (1.37.7211.1) with the latest iClone (8.52.3605.1) , with the latest version of Unreal (5.5.3). The facial morphs (for facial expressions) make the character distort all over.

I have submitted the bug in the FEEDBACK TRACKER:

I also made a quick video about it, and explanation is below:

First, in iClone (8.52.3605.1) I opened the Kevin speaking project, and went file > export > FBX. Then chose unreal, and exported.

Second, I downloaded the latest unreal auto setup from Reallusion:

Auto Setup for Unreal Download

Auto Setup for Unreal Engine | Free Download | Reallusion

Free UE Auto Setup tool for IC & CC MetaHumans helps game developers create animated characters with digital human shaders, cloth, & hair physics.

(Which is Version 1.37.7211.1)
Then I made a new 5.5.3 UE project, quit unreal, copy and pasted the “content” and “plugins” folders from the auto setup directory into my unreal project, then reopened unreal. I made sure to check that the logo for auto setup was in the top ribbon in unreal, and it was.

Third, I imported the FBX I exported from iClone. It came up with the auto setup popup, and I chose hq shader. Then in the next popup I chose all the specific settings that the instructions page says to.

Installing Character Creator & iClone Auto-setup for Unreal 4.

It imported - took a few minutes.

I opened the SKELETAL MESH and tried to adjust the MORPH TARGETS, and they were all messed up.

Then I opened the animation sequence that came across from iClone, and again, it was all messed up.

Actually I now have seen (on a larger screen) that if I scroll down on the AUTO SETUP page all the way, there is note and a link to a different set of options for unreal 5.5

Can we get the written instructions updated please? This is all very confusing. :frowning: Or at least add a “DO NOT FOLLOW THESE OLD INSTRUCTIONS FOR UNREAL 5.5” to this page, which is linked to from various places as if its the latest instructions but isn’t :slight_smile:
