Exporting Mouth Open Morph Data (New for v3.1)

After a character is exported in FBX format, by default, the jaw can be driven by a morphing slider, but the teeth and the tongue are controlled by the teeth bone. However, when you want to open the character's mouth in external 3D tools (Maya, 3ds Max, Unity, Unreal...), you will need to move the Mouth_Openmorphing slider and the teeth bone which can be tedious.

The FBX character imported into 3D tool (Maya).	Mouth Open blend shape slider.
Teeth Bone rotation (Tongue Bone is the child and driven to rotate).

Character Creator provides a feature to open the character's mouth, teeth and tongue together with only one morph slider.
