  whatever method you use to import be it the plugin or FBX, make sure you have the morphs/Blendshapes checked on export (and import for FBX)

  you need to >> the ones you want over in the plugin

  then it depends how you want to animate them

  I don't have an iPhone so don't know much about Live Link

  I am also not much help with the plugin as it stopped working for me

  I have to do everything manually and I am not even going to begin to explain how to do that just that it's a lot of work and if the plugin works for you, thats as easy as exporting the animation from DAZ studio

  Ok thanks Wendy.  Yes I know what you mean, that bridge doesn't always seem to work and even work right, it is quite a hassle to export manually but can be done.   Let me ask you something, would you have any interest in using characters you make in Daz in say a fighting game for Unreal Engine 4?

  I don't do games, I only use it as an alternative render engine for videos
