Hey @DAZ_sam, so I was playing around with the Maya Bridge all weekend since I have the free trial for like three more weeks and figured why not see what the program does, and I discovered that when I export my animation from Maya back into Daz, the arms are in a different position and don't line up how I had them in Maya. I animated a girl taking a ring off her finger, and when I brought it into Daz, her hands were way off. I can attach the files here or send them to you privately if you'd like to take a look at them and see what might be happening as it happened on three different attempts by myself, so I'm sure this is something that other folks are probably running into as well. I didn't catch it the first day I tried it because I just did a willy nilly kind of movement to see it move, but when I did something that was very specific, I ran into the issue. Let me know if you want the files, no worries if not. Thanks so much!

If you make a ticket that will be easiest @Razzle-Dazzle3D will be able to get the file from you that way.

Hi @DazSam

Having an issue installing DAZ2Maya Bridge. First thing I did was install via Daz Central, but nothing showed up in my daz studio app (v 4.20.02) so I uninstalled and instead downloaded from the github. I downloaded the dzmayabridge.dll file and placed it in C:\Daz 3D\Applications\64-bit\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio4\plugins and then launched DAZ Studio. Still nothing. What am i doing wrong here?

 

Thanks much,

Dan Rita

DAZ and MAYA will not start after installing Unreal LiveLink.
The current solution is to install Unreal LiveLink and it will start.
I would like to solve this problem somehow, as deleting them one by one is just a waste of time.
How can this be resolved? I am waiting for a good reply.

Version MAYA2022 2023
Unreal LiveLink 2.0

Looking for someone to create a video of a screen recording for me. Simple. Without the need for voiceover. Or special edits. And give me instructions on how to transfer from Daz Studio to Maya. Properly. With the bones connected to them as if they were in Daz. In 4 different sections: Poses. - Daz to Maya Animations. - Daz to Maya Morphs - Daz to Maya Shapes - Daz to Maya Transferring. Maps and textures. Without defects. - Daz to Maya I use the Daz to Maya bridge. There is no such option there. But I know that if there is someone who understands the field. He knows how to do it. Through a bridge. Or outside the bridge. Or a combination. Willing to pay any amount if you can do this
