Material Overview

CC4D Basic Materials

The Basic Materials are RS Standard Materials with some basic node setups.

CC4D Advanced Materials

The Advanced Materials are RS Standard Materials with a custom CC4D shader group and custom parameters to resemble the CC4 shaders as closley as possible and to be able to utilize the material settings exported from Character Creator in a JSON configuration file.

Below you can find a overview of all the CC4D advanced shaders and their custom parameters.

More information on the Relationship between Regions and Expression Sliders (Pose Morphs) can be found in the official Character Creator Online Manual from Reallusion

CC4D Wrinkle Shader

When the Expression Wrinkles have been activated during the Auto Material Setup, the materials that had the 'Digital_Human Head' shader applied in Character Creator 4 will be replaced with the CC4D 'HeadWrinkle_Basic' or 'HeadWrinkle_Advanced' shader
Those Materials hold the CC4D_wrinkleShader, which is a custom Redshift shader group to blend the Diffuse, Roughness, Normal & Height wrinkle textures with their respective base textures
it also holds inputs for the Flow Maps, exported with the character from Character Creator and for the Winkle Masks, located in the CC4D Asset Browser Contents

Wrinkle Drivers

The wrinkle "drivers" can be found on the CC4D wrinkleShader in the 'Attributes' Panel under the 'Inputs' tab when the group is selected
Those driver parameters can't be changed manually as they are driven by the characters facial pose morphs and the Wrinkle Parameters through the wrinkleSolver python tag, located on the CC_Character null object
The driver parameters then control the strength of the different wrinkle region masks

Wrinkle Masks

The RL_WrinkleMasks are located in the CC4D Asset Browser Contents under 'Textures' and the will be utilized by the CC4D_WrinkleShader to blend the wrinkle textures with the characters base textures
