Where is the tab named "DazToBlenderHD" ?

Peter Wade

I've tried to install this bridge. I've installed the script twice, I've exited Blender and restarted it after the install but I can't find this tab. I've got a few tabs on the box at the bottom right of the screen but none of them have Daz in their names. I can't find anything else with tabs on the Blender screen. Am I looking in the wrong place or has the install failed?

Have you installed and activated the Blender plug-in through Blender's Edit-Preferences-Addons?

If so then you should see a little arrow at the top-right of your main workspace - take a look at the thread to see a picture:

The trick is I can't find the Daz to Blender in the add-on list. Is there a file that the bridge installed that I can search for? Search for "Daz" or "DaztoBlender" comes up with nothing.

Thank you. I eventually found the tab, I had click the box to enable Armature:DazToBlender before it appeared, something that isn't mentioned in Daz's setup instructions.

My first attempt at importing a figure has given me a Genesis 8 female twisted into a bizarre pose and with no textures in the preview or the render (is the bridge supposed to convert Iray materials to Blender?). The preview also has what looks like a lot of thin spikes coming from her face but these don't appear in the render. I think I need to do a lot more work to find out how to use this bridge.
