Reallusion Partners with Renderosity

The Renderosity Community is excited to announce that we've partnered with the team at Reallusion to bring our members a full suite of products and learning tools that will enable you to get more out of your Poser & Daz Studio content.

Game development can be a long and painful process, especially for indie game developers with limited budget and manpower. The Renderosity MarketPlace is now offering Reallusion's Character Creator 3 (CC3) as the go-to gaming solution for the DAZ & Poser community.


Create Characters Optimized for Animation & Games Unify, Animate and Gamify Daz and Poser Content

Character Creator 3 (CC3) is a full character creation solution that helps you easily create, import, customize and export realistic and stylized character assets. Now the Poser and Daz communities can connect their content into one unified system for 3D character generation, animation, rendering and game design for Unity and Unreal. Characters created or imported into Character Creator 3 are further enhanced with iClone to animate the characters with a motion library, motion capture, facial animation, lip-sync or keyframe animation. The complete character pipeline from Reallusion features Character Creator 3 and iClone to unify Renderosity content into assets ready for animation and games.



Features include highly-morphable character bases with a quad-based mesh that are ZBrush compatible with GoZ, subdivision and gamification with InstaLOD, motion capture enabled characters for body and face animation, and Iray rendering.

Reallusion and Renderosity are bridging the Daz and Poser communities with Character Creator and iClone. Now content creators have more capability with their Renderosity content for animation and optimization of characters to games and even AR or VR. Reallusion is proud to offer a solution that is complementary to Daz and Poser libraries and extends the possibilities for Renderosity content creators.

BRIDGE POSER AND DAZ ASSETS

Character Creator 3 is fully compatible with content from Daz 3D, Poser and HiveWire. Giving content creators and owners of these libraries, a unified platform to import characters, mix and blend clothing, animate and export for games.



With the automatic Transformer tool in Character Creator 3, users can one-step import and convert characters, clothing and accessories from FBX.


Reallusion


Transforming content will auto-detect morph, clothing, accessories and convert the content automatically to cloth layers and assets for editing in Character Creator 3. The clothing can then be saved as individual elements inside the Character Creator library, and the character morphs can also be saved or blended with other morphs to generate and new design later.

  • Smart Transformer design to fast Import Daz Genesis and M4, V4 character assets.
  • Convert all texture channels to real-time PBR materials standard.
  • Auto Daz-to-CC character retopology and UV texture baking for assets compatibility.
  • Import morphable hair and cloth, and keep their morph editing capabilities.

IMPORT OBJ WITH AUTO SKIN WEIGHT TRANSFER

Creating clothing from imported OBJ assets is easy, thanks to auto rigging. Use OBJ models from external clothing assets to import and transfer the skin-weights from CC3 clothing templates. Refine surfaces of clothing after using the Edit mesh, and the push-and-pull brush tools.


Reallusion


Skin-weight editing is easy, just refine the auto-skinned cloth with a spectrum of weight editing tools that support vertex weight assignment and weight painting. Users can also use flexible smooth brush, brush projection modes, and mirror editing brush options right inside of Character Creator.

    What People Are Saying about CC3

    As an active member of the iClone online community I can say, with confidence, that clothing creation & rigging to conforming for ALL third party supported figures (M4, V4, Hivewire, bases and all Daz genesis) is as easy as using the transfer utility in Daz Studio (perhaps easier). CC3 will open up many opportunities of New vendors entering the Reallusion content market with the option to easily support any figure from the legacy Millenium4 to the latest Hivewire and Daz Genesis bases as well as the new high-quality Reallusion base Males and females. The IRay render engine in Character creator 3 renders with the exact same quality as the one in Daz Studio (assuming one has the required NVIDIA hardware). I personally see CC3 as the first truly viable to alternative to Daz Studio that can access All of the genesis bases natively with FULL, OFFICIAL technical support of the highly responsive team at Reallusion.
