Free Reallusion Plug-in For Animating CC Characters Inside UE5

At last, this new great plug-in by Reallusion leverages the 3D animation production pipeline and grants artists the power to fully control CC characters inside Unreal Engine 5.3-5.4 with ease. Now, you'll be able to smoothly transfer characters and motions from CC, AccuRIG, or ActorCore into Unreal and edit them with familiar Control Rig.

Explore facial and body animation layer editing, leveraging inherent CC's two-level morph system, allowing for direct slider adjustments to achieve exquisite control, and CC's full-body rigs, featuring IK/FK toggles alongside squash and stretch capabilities, making it possible to bend and deform the character in unprecedented ways with enhanced articulation.

The Character Creator UE Control Rig facilitates complete interaction between CC characters and the Unreal Engine 5 environment with precise animation matching to the scenes, allowing you to accurately position and align your characters within Unreal Engine and refine their movements to interact seamlessly with props.

Effortlessly enable your actors to ride bikes, steer cars, climb walls, hang from ledges, and more.

And of course, the CC system provides access to a massive Reallusion ecosystem with excellent solutions for crafting your own unique characters. Precise voice lip-sync, muscle-based facial key editing, an extensive library of mocap motions, and more, all these methods for facial and body animation are well-integrated and will help you elevate your production workflow.

To transfer your CC, AccuRIG, or ActorCore characters to Unreal Engine, use .fbx format or iClone Unreal Live Link. Additionally, with Character Creator UE Control Rig you will get two sample projects – Kevin and Nia.

The Reallusion team has already released a few tutorials to help you get started and explore this new animation production pipeline, so check them out:
