The Unreal Live Link Plugin for iClone8 lets you import characters into Unreal Engine from iClone with all the animations applied to it in real-time. The advanced features of this plugin automate the character creation process, applying skeletons and shaders. Facial performances, lip syncs, and MOCAP recording can be done directly, drastically reducing the time consumed on animation and eliminating the need for FBX exports.
