Remeshing the figure seems to be the best way to go, back to working on the best way to shrinkwrap and remesh the hair.

 

New steps for those that want them:

Pose in DAZ, export OBJ, import into blender, select model > remesh > voxel, .005 (i dont need it super smooth since I will be printing it small, but remeshing at voxel .002 looked pretty good too)

Make a high density iconosphere (new object, icosphere, modifier, subdivisions x6) center the ico over the hair, add modifier deform shrinkwrap, type projection, negative checked.  Then remesh that and boolean to the body.  Use 3dPrint tools to handle cleanup.

PAs are using external tools to do the modelling, and then import in DS for texturing and if it shall have rigging.

You can do a bit inside DS with DFormers and others, but it is very limited.

If the mesh isn't welded, then you can create your own morph.

But you can not copy it from somewhere else. In theori you might be able to do it as a projected morph if the mesh is very similar in the source, but I wouldn't try on that.

You can in DS use Dformer or mesh grabber, but I would go for a modeller, and then import as a morph.

  EDIT: I submitted bug report to Blender for them to investigate writing line elements into OBJ format.

last time i sent a bug report to blender I never had any answer, I am stil unable to export on FBX format, evry export have Nonuniform sclae eror wen I import on DAZ, , I am going to send a new bug report for the 4.2 version will it s stil not working

$ 

I contacted the developer for the Blender module directly and he asked to submit the bug report through proper channels. Whether that means it has a higher chance of being looked at im not sure.
In any case, a workaround for writing Line Elements to obj in Blender can be found here: https://www.deviantart.com/uncannyvalet/journal/Blender-Hair-in-Daz-Studio-Making-Polyline-Hair-1088126863 ;

So the 'Import FACS from FBX' option worked, however when I try to retarget the DAZ skeleton to the Mixamo skeleton, the facial animation goes terribly wrong. I just want to use Mixamo animations with facial mocap. What do I do?

Padone said:

Just load the FACS with easy import, then you can load arkit mocaps with the bvh module.

RGB parameters out of range doesn't matter and most of people have this message.

Your DS version ? and are you using Nvidia Studio driver ? and Version ?

4.22.0.16

4060 TI 16G 

 

 

Hi, I tried it again this morning, checking the models in the scene one by one.
Finally, the problem is a model of hair.

【Rose Hair for Genesis 3 and 8 Female(s)】

delete the hair, save it, and open the whole scene without a problem.
But this hair model, I have used it before, and there is no problem. It's officially sold by DAZ. 

 

When I tried to import this hair model separately for IRAY preview, the above mentioned problem occurred and I stayed in this shader mode all the time.
At this point, I'm sure the source of the problem is it, but I don't know what the cause of the problem is.

crosswind said:

or if you know Blender, send the simulated item to Blender, tweak it there, then import it as a delta morph with Morph Loader Pro.

I'd second this method.

The original post highlights one of the major shortcomings of dForce. Some other cloth simulation alternatives are able to adjust the drape while it is simulating - that's why a lot of people buy Marvelous Designer but either exporting to Blender or simulating in MD should not be necessary. 

I think I found the trigger.
After I rebooted the software, the tests worked fine.
But I only have to load my project once, and the above problem occurs. Even if you shut down the project and re-import a simple item, there will be problems.
But once you reboot the software, it's back to normal.

here is the log

To add, the only PA tool is the dForce Hair Modifier, which enables all of the good things that come with dForce Hair.  Like using Surface UVs, SBH generation from guide strands, simulation properties, and so on.

But is not needed to simply import hair that was built in other software like Blender or Xgen.

We know that Daz manipulates "polyline hair" with the way of dynamically generating PR/PS hairs by using SBH techniques rahter than using a static mesh which may bring challenge even disaster to some user's DS Viewport. 

Generating the child hairs with dForce modifier would be ideal as there are numerous functionalities that are provided through that process, not only dForce functionality but the ability to generate child hairs similar to SBH Editor. But given that is only for PA's, then the challenges of polyline hair need to be accepted. Perhaps some users will struggle with very high vert count of polyline hair, but I don't think it is any more demanding than turning Preview PR Hairs on.  Personally, when I have 1-2mil polyline hair in viewport it is fine, but something like 6mil does slow it down noticeably.  I dont presume to know how best to optimise for users with "potato" PCs other than reducing the vert count.

For morphs, the deltas for every strand needs to be saved in the morph, not just changes to guide strands, so i suspect that will increase the load time of the morphs and size dsf files.

Actually SBH's morphs are loaded pretty quickly and DSF files are normally with small sizes even uncompressed.

We know users have no way to add dForce capability to SBH as well as make morphs on SBH since only dFormers work statically on SBH in the Scene only. But additionally I was told that Daz gives some tools to PAs to efficiently convert, import/export SBH as well as make morphs on them... isn't that true ?
 

The process I described above would be similar to the process Daz PAs likely follow, except they would, as a final/intermediate step, add a dForce Hair Modifier to the imported lines.  There used to be a video here explaining the process that PAs follow but the uploader appears to have made it private in the last few days. 
 

Im not sure what PAs can/cannot do or the extra functions they have (and maybe i was wrong to say their only tool is the dForce Hair modifier), all I can address is the things we can do as non PA.  We can:

• add morphs to polylines/splines/curves 
• export SBH made in SBH Editor (anyone can export at any Render Tesselation Sides value)
• import SBH that was made in SBH Editor (exported at any Render Tesselation Sides value)
• import Curves from other software 
• Import mesh from other softwaare and convert to lines

Yes I was told some workflows can be workaround but may be time-consuming as well as with some limitations. I've never tried any but just learned to make transmapped ones or directly render in Blender by using Diffoe on the hairs made with HairTools.

I'll try them when having time and further check with my PA friends. Thank you.

• rig polyline hair using transfer utility

with those functions available to all users, it is sufficient to make polyline hair.

It may not be common knowledge, hence the earlier replies in this thread, but there is a way to do it.  I can make a full tutorial which I will post soon but basically the steps are:
1. Convert Hair Curves to something that you can export. There are many ways to do this, but an option is to do the following:

1. Right click your Hair Curves and select Convert to>Mesh (or you can go to the top panel and select Object>Convert to>Mesh)
2. Right click the converted Mesh and select Convert to>Curve (Important: select Curve not Curves).  This step may take a very long time depending on hair complexity.  

2. Bevel the edges of the Curve to make tubes

1. In the Object Data Properties panel, you should see Geometry>Bevel option.
2. Change the resolution to 0
3. Change the diameter to 0.01 (or some other low value)

3. Export the object as .obj file and import to Daz Studio

4. Within Daz Studio, you need to convert to splines that will work with Daz Studio Iray Curves

1. Select the Hair and go to Edit>Obejct>Geometry>Convert Tubes to Lines

5. Rig the hair to your Figure or Haircap by going to Edit>Object>Transfer Utility and running the utility

At the moment, the steps 2-4 appear to be necessary, as simply exporting Curves from Blender and importing to Daz Studio does not work with Iray Curves. It will render but you will not have a smooth contiguous curve.

If you want to add morphs, you will need to follow the same process for each morph up to and including step 4 and then export the converted lines as obj, and import using Morph Loader Pro.

 

 

or if you know Blender, send the simulated item to Blender, tweak it there, then import it as a delta morph with Morph Loader Pro.

hello I look about that since to day and i looked to many tutorial but I don't found my answer, can you import a curve based hair made on blender to daz studio? I tryed expôrt it as OBJ bit the only think I have is an empty object wen I open it on daz, I know you can do with hair card style hair , but IS it possible with curves extarpolated, or at least with particle system? if you know how to do that or have tutorial thanks to share

You can also copy the matching .dsa files from /Runtime/Support/ to

%appdata%/daz 3d/studio4/runonce

and start DS - I think I am right in recalling that that will import the product's metadata.

If you are just looking to import one specific product's metadata then perhaps this freebie script would help?
