Marvelous Designer to Unreal Engine 4 Pipeline
Baked Animation - Marvelous Designer to Unreal Engine 4 Pipeline
(Please read the description bellow)
Software Used
Character Creator 3 (Pipeline)
IClone 7
3D Exchange Pro
Marvelous Designer
Unreal Engine
ATTENTION: Notice Step 3 bellow (This will save you step 24 and other irregularities)
I should also mention that I used the "Tack on Avatar" tool in MD to avoid the garment from moving around too much.
00:00 - Intro
1 - Start In CC3 with no Garment (Default pose) 1:48
2 - Send to IClone (In first frame go to "Edit Motion Layer" click "Default") 2:26
3 - * Create Animation (1st frame with default T or A pose blending to Anim. start) 3:10
{In the video I start the animation in frame 20, please start at frame 21 as frame 21 corresponds to frame 10 in Marvelous Designer. This is because MD starts at frame 0 and IClone at frame 1}
4 - Save Collect Clip "Add MotionPlus to Library" 5:10
5 - Click Edit in CC3 (Save Avatar) 5:50

24 - Offset Garment if necessary (Click Key+ and save animation) 31:41
Adding new Animations
One of the downsides of this pipeline is that to add new animations, you will need to delete all previously imported assets into UE4 as Re-Importing will not bring in the new animations.
Notice step 22 bellow.
1 - Start In CC3 with no Garment (Default pose)
2 - Send to IClone (In first frame go to "Edit Motion Layer" click "Default")
3 - * Create Animation

5 - Click Edit in CC3 (Save Avatar)
6 - Export with animation (UE4 Template)
7 - Import in Marvelous Designer
8 - * Simulate/Create animation [Tack on Avatar]
9 - Export Animation as "OBJ Sequence"
10 - In CC3 load the previously saved Avatar with Garment
11 - Send to IClone (We need to replace the existing IClone character with no clothes)
12 - Select character and go to Morph Creator
13 - Select Garment
14 - Import all frames of the OBJ sequence
15 - Click "Update to IClone"
16 - Select Garment and delete existing morph animations
17 - * Create Morph Animation (Skip every other frame)
18 - Delete frames created on previous unnecessary frames
