Unity Mecanim

Dedicated FBX export profile compatible with Unity.
Automated skeleton mapping for Unity Humanoid characters.
Auto-create Unity Animator for mecanim controls.
Export motion sequences and assign Animator Controller.
Auto-assign loop animations when source clips includes "loop" keyword.
Create character Prefab for character reuse and instancing.
Auto-assign character LOD from multiple FBX meshes.

Unreal Engine

Dedicated FBX export profile compatible with Unreal.
Automated skeleton mapping and bone naming for UE characters.
Auto-assign character LOD from multiple FBX character meshes using the same skeleton.
Auto-assign loop animations when source clips includes the "loop" keyword.
Export with UE Hand & Foot IK Bone:

Supports Epic IK-bone standard with additional Hand bones for weapon-holding animations, and Root IK bones for locomotion control.
Enhanced content compatibility between the Character Creator and Unreal Asset Stores. CC characters can use UE motions, and UE characters can use iClone Motions.

2Automated Digital Human Shader Assignments

Automated Unity Shader Assignment

Editor Script to auto-convert imported FBX files.
sRGB Correction for Metallic, Roughness, AO for correct display in Unity.
Three shader options:

Standard PBR - Unity Built-in Shaders.
HDRP (High Definition Render Pipeline) - high realism for console or advanced graphics environment.
LWRP (Lightweight Render Pipeline) - optimized performance for mobile and low-end hardware.

*Requires Auto Setup Script - free download

Unreal Shader Assignment

Pack ORM (Occlusion Roughness Metallic) texture from corresponding CC texture sources.
Automatic multi-texture material assignment.
Three shader options:

Physically-based Rendering (Standard)
Unreal Photorealistic Character Shader (LW) based on Unreal's Samples and Tutorials here.
Advanced Unreal Digital Humans (HQ) - the ultra-realistic shader based on Unreal's samples and tutorials here.

*Requires Auto Setup Plugin - free download

3Optimize Polygons, Remesh and Unify Textures for Game Character LOD

Polygon reduction for select items and wearable assets.
Bake dense mesh detail to diffuse and normal map to enhance low-poly display.
Merge texture UVs in order to reduce draw call in game engines.
Generate character LODs for optimal game performance.
Convert to low-poly CC Game-Base character while keeping facial animations.

*Built-in mesh optimization technology with InstaLOD
