Hi all, im new to DAZ and a liitle lost.
I have seen a model on the site "Gurumarra, the Australian Aboriginal"

I want to put it into Unreal Engine5 for my Austrailan Game im trying putting together.

So my question is, if i purchase model do i need to use DAZ Studio to import/export into UE5 or is it in FBX format style or such?

Thanks.

It has only Daz Studio files so you would need to go via that. Note that for a game that included the 3d assets and textures, or derivatives of them, you would need the Interactive Licenses for the base Genesis 2 figure and the character.

The product page doesn't mention an FBX file being included, and I can't think of a single character for DS that includes an FBX (though there are some Daz characters available in the store as FBX models). Sometimes environments include an OBJ, but generally speaking, content in the Daz store is made for use within DS. You can look at the Compatible Software listed on the product page, and sometimes that will list other programs (e.g. Blender, Maya, etc.), which means that the purchase includes native file formats for those; otherwise, if it just lists "Daz to ____ Bridge", as this product does, then you'll need to open it in DS and either export as FBX or use the free Daz to Unreal bridge to transfer it to Unreal.

tl;dr - yes, you'll need to export from DS first.
