I installed the plugin but I still don't understand how to export as an alembic,, i dont feel like anything changed in my menus

That's my fault. You'll find it buried under Windows|Workspace|Customize, and then under Miscellaneous in the hierarchy on the left. You can then move it to where ever you want in the hierarchy on the right, say under "Export" in Main Menu Bar|File on the Menus tab.

I am just tired of hunting GUI issues that have nothing to do with actual Alembic exporting.

  Can you tell me how to import my alympic into the blender with hair I haven't been able to get the hair I got the scalp but no hair I was using dforce hair

I am trying to import my AO texture on to a staircase that I textured on Substance and I was wondering what would be the best substitute in Daz3d to place the AO? 

I'm "interested", but I'd be sold if it was a two way street.

At present Daz is in it's own realm camera-wise. Specifically, what Daz needs is a means to export it's own camera data out to agnostic format that can be imported w/ subpixel accuracy into anything that accepts FBX.

But to be abe to import or convert as well?  Can you imagine what that would mean to an UltraScenery scene?

Yet One More Freebie - Egyptian Collared Dress for G2F

Same issue - the shader texture maps are missing.  This is just a static prop dress that fits the default G2F.  You can use VWD on it as is.  If so, I recommend 'nailing' the collar in place.  You could also import it into that free plugin, Daz Studio, and use the transfer utility to make it a conforming figure.  You could even use Carrara's softbody physics.

See attched zip file in next post with the music pic.

I'm wondering if it's actually the difference in Blender's orientation which is messing with things. In summary I:

- pose the figure in Daz and save the posepreset.duf

Image removed

- send the figure to Blender using the official bridge and scult a bump on the head. Notice here how Blender has fiddled with the rotation/orientation of the figure, which might be the problem

- export from blender as a .obj, and import to Daz as a morph with the posepreset.duf provided

- apply this morph in Daz which successfully applies the bump at 100%, but the character is pulled into a different 'flipped' orientation/position as a result of the morph being applied. This means pose controls no longer work, for example changing the neck 'bend' will morph the character into a giraffe

Image removed

I'm trying to find a solution which prevents the pose controls etc from breaking, which probably wouldn't occur if Blender hadn't shuffled the orientation/rotation of the figure. The alternative of course would be to get the character back into the Daz default 'A' pose in blender (with the bump) so that it can be imported as a simple morph.

The reason I need to first pose the character in order to apply the morph, is because I'm actually using softbody physics in Blender (which rely on the pose).

I use DazStudio 4.20 017, Blender 3.3, Dzblender bridge2022.2.18.42

When I try to import a posed figure, the pose is not or not completely imported.

I keep skeletal mesh, export morphs is unticked.

I suppose there's something I'm doing wrong somewhere.

When I try to apply a pose from the Daz Library to the figure, I receive an error message in Python.

I'm totally new to Blender.

I Also tried to install Diffeo before the official bridge, there are maybe some interferences with "residues" I forgot to delete.

Could somebody give me a hint ?

Thanks a lot

Hi everyone! I created a shirt to which I applied two pJCM the CollarUp_55_L and R.

In Daz it works fine but when I import it into Unity it doesn't work, whether I'm exporting the morphs or not.

Here i uploaded i gif for see it in animation unity

I tried to do the same experiment using daz native basic wear and in unity it works too.

So I think the problem is in my shirt.

Could it be because I only created two pJCMs or maybe there could be more?

Thank you

Thanks. Unfortunately even with reverse deformations set to 'yes' and the pose exported to blender included in the settings, applying the morph still warps the character into that pose.

It feels like getting the character back into the A pose would be easier on the Blender side, but unfortunately the 'Import pose' button in the Daz to Blender bridge simply moves the character a little but, rather than applying the pose.

Im new to blender but i have a lot of experience with Daz Studio. Im trying to get a clothing set (obj File) from Blender into Daz Studio. I import it, use transfer utility to G8.1 Male and then the mesh has seems in it. Initially i dont recall having this problem but now suddenly its a thing and its like ive gone ten steps back and cannot figure it out. Can anyone please help. I should mention im using a game asset. This is entirely for personal use. Link to the Blender file provided. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MGkrK0Q6UOz00Ulw_L9dkdLboRH0JiAp/view?usp=sharing Thanks in advance for any assistance.

This question might be better in ‘3rd party software’ but there are only specific sections and not one for Rhino

Anyone here use Rhino to make or modify models?

The problem I have, if I have a Rhino model with several different objects (poly mesh) and I export those as obj and import them to Daz Studio, they are all one object so no convenient way to apply different shaders

Is there a setting in Rhino or Daz that I am missing?

Speaking of lipsyncing,

The newest commit of Diffeo has added the ability to bake animated morphs to animated shape key frames!!.

 

Giving us the ability to use Daz Mimic basic, Anilip2 ,Iphone,MOHO.dat files on our Daz genesis figures in Blender AFTER re-rigging the body with autorig pro.

 

So no more struggling with the ARP face rig

just import your facial  animation from your preferred Daz native method, or use the built in Diffeo MOHO importer along with the free Autolipsyncotizer app.

 

Exciting times !!

That's very good news. I just used DAZ's 32-bit Mimic to lip synch just over 10 minutes of audio (58 voice tracks) saving each one as a partial Pose Preset (it took 85 minutes), allowing me to apply them as partial poses in 64-bit D|S to any Genesis 3 figures (I've done the same with DAZ 8 earlier this month).It works beautifully applying them to characters without changing any of the characters' other animation, so two people walking side-by-side can now have a conversaiton without breakig stride.

Thanks for the update! Haven't started moving to Blender yet, but knowing this is done really makes things look a little brighter. 

 

@wsterdan

Just be aware that diffeo is only for the windows version of Blender.

Ah, right, foiled again!

Thanks! 

So with this new model coming out, I must ask are we with all the stuff purchased for 8/8.1and older, will vendors be giving us free mods for our purchases to continue using their stuff, is DAZ going to issue a new update to encorporate this profile so there are no explosions when trying to use it, and will they be updating the add-ons like Daz to Blender import export before this G9 arrives?

I mean, 8.1 just came out not too long ago so I personally was surprised when G9 was announced.

Sorry, but I like so many of us, have a ginormous db and have sank quite a sum into DAZ Studio. I'm not sure I want to be nickle and dimed for things already purchased. My meager paycheck just can't support it.

Yes, I know, you don't have to buy it but that doesn't mean I can't ask.

Sorry, I don't understand.  You mean export the entire Genesis figure that I altered as an OBJ?  And import the entire figure as a morph?

Yes

the biggest issue is DAZ BVH import

you noticed I used Aiko 3

that was for a very good reason

I had a Genesis 1 there but avoided 3 & 8 entirely 

Agreed, Daz does need to implement better BVH support, as that's the whole backbone of animation conversion from mocap data!

I'm hopeful that once DS5 rolls out, we may have a better animation solution and support for BVH.

Standard Import.  So I saved the entire thing as a bunch of .objs and then deleted the original Blender file (Because I thought this was a one-off thing... I have so many models now that if I don't do that I end up with gigabytes of random crap)  I know it was a boneheaded move, but every time I learn this lesson I end up spending days cleaning out directories... I don't know which is MORE of a time-suck...

Anyway, there are about 10 or so pieces: The body of the car, the suspension of the car (without front wheels), two front wheels (one model, though) a steering wheel, the person's body, the persons' head, a lower hand and an upper hand (which are duplicated).

Thank you all for helping me.... this has been remarkably frustrating. I'm grateful you've put so much time into it. :)

Aabhnormal,

Right Click on the "Parameters" Tab and go to "Preferences > Show HIdden Properties".   That should make a hidden property visable again, while still being hidden.

Question for you: Are you importing the model via the standard import option or are you doing it through the "Figure Setup" tab? 

In regards to sending models between Daz Studio and Blender, in the screen shots below please refer to images 6-8 for exporting.  If everything is to its correct scale in blender, then also make sure you apply the scale in Blender before exporting (image 5).  This could be causing the scale issue in Daz Studio
