blend files from daz - missing textures?

Lothar Weber

I downloaded the open attic .blend file from daz. Now in blender it's missing some textures. Any clues?

Another example of error in blender file of "Industrial Loft" - see image. Walls are missing and the floor is somewhere...

Some Textures arent compatible between the two, IRAY / EVEE or Cycles.

I dont know if its an MTL, MDL vs RSL, or Iray issue, but I have noticed that Blender always look more like 3DL, even G8Fs eyes (iris) dont display in Blender.

I think Blender displays the one of the shader settings different Gloss, Reflection, SSS, or Specular (G8F Eye Moisture).  

The UV map and surface "Material" zone assisments are correct when importing to Daz from Blender but dont I dont have enough or recent experience with transfering material presets between the two.

You might try adjusting those presets on a set of spheres as a test and see if any display oddly.

Might need to tweak, reset, or even redo shader settings with the principal shader or uberbase.

Again I have very limited experience on material transfer and Blender rendering.

I usually model, unwrap and map UV, as well as assisgn surfaces (Materials) in Blender. Then either transfer a painted color map or use the uberbase to color and shade for DS in DS.

 

ADDENDUM: I have also had issues showing volumemetric shaders in blender, it needed a created Blender light to appear in addition to just the default viewport lighting.

Thank you for the answer. But they are official daz Blender (.blend) files. Downloaded from the product pages. They should work in blender without any additional work - in my opinion...

Basically you have three options:

1. Open a ticket and wait until it gets fixed
2. Fix the problem in the shader
   1. The texture in the blend file, that is referenced is: granite_blackBitmap_granite_black_baked.png
   2. This is not supplied, instead there is one called granite_black.png
   3. This is also the one used when you load the set in DAZ. In DAZ it is also used with a tiling of 5.
   4. In Blender activate the Shading workspace
   5. Open the Outliner editor and open ATS Wall 01 -> ATS Wall 01.Shape -> Mesh -> Set_9
   6. Now you can change the texture and change the tiling in the Shader Editor.
      
      
       
3. Fix the problem in the file system
   1. Locate the extracted textures subdirectory where you installed your Blender files
   2. Copy the file granite_black.png to granite_blackBitmap_granite_black_baked.png

The same is with the vases, here the texture name is white_marbleBitmap_white_marble_baked.png (Copy from white_marble.png)

These two need to be converted from their JPG versions:

1. There are two boxes on the floor which use brownpaperBitmap_brownpaper_baked.png (Convert from brownpaper.jpg)
2. And last but not least a picture on the wall: picture01Bitmap_picture01_baked.png (Convert from picture01.jpg)

WOW thank you - that was fast. Seems we need to wait for the fixes a little longer, since it is so new.
