You can set "world = never" in the global settings if you don't want to import the HDRI environment.

Very nice we no longer have to google "how to fix eyebrows" for new users with daz to unity import. lol

Poser 6 rigging is the limit as far as DS is concerned, any changes in the rigging from P7+ is basically ignored by the import plugin.

All your previous Smart Content is under Default. The Product in question has added a new category with a non-standard placement, instead of in the Default category. If all categories are under Default, that would be all you see, without the Default category actually showing. The metadata needs to be corrected. Officially, that would require a help ticket...

If you load the XPS file into free XNA/Lara, you can export as .MESH.ASCII which includes rigging.

Free Noesis can then read this, export as FBX, still with rigging. IIRC, DS can then import this, although scaling may take some trial & error...

Two gotchas: First, you'll probably have to copy folder containing XPS file and its textures into the XNA/Lara 'data' folder for that to find it. Eventually....

Second, the FBX may load into your DS or Poser as a 'wild bunch' of sub-rigs. Usually, first in list is the 'base', allowing moving, posing etc. If there are just too many sub-rigs for convenience, parent all of them to a place-holder which you can hide or make invisible...

Just wondering if there is a way to import just the G8 HD figure. With no rigging, just the geometry. What I need to do is to import the G8 figure in subdivision 4 just for rendering but I want to use diffeomorphics material conversions into my advantage and I just want to render the figure in Blender so I'm not interested in the rigging. Is it possible?

Thanks in advance,

Martha,

Hello AlienRenders,

If you export Genesis 3 Female as FBX and import it into UE5 (your DQS mod) this is how a character's head looks.

Stock UE5 does not have this problem.

well I just found one (duf props) that stuffs up Carrara though it loads in the scene outliner

I have found a few that won't load. Also a problem with some figures after converting to blended weight the skeletons/rigging refuse to work in Carrara.

Normally resort to obj export/import for those ones....

converted all the figures to props inD|S and saved a scene subset which works  

Nice work around !!!

I haven't noticed any differences.

Is it for all items it doesn't work?

There was a case where some metadata was messed up, but that was only for particular items.

The other method with Diffeomorphic Easy Import options also works correctly. I was wrong because I didn't select the custom part before importing the custom morphs.

Here's the correct method captured in the images, images has been censored for the Golden Palace geograft:

(Mod edit: duplicate post was removed. Images with nudity were removed. Please see https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/3279/acceptable-ways-of-handling-nudity#latest )

Alternatively the geograft morphs can be added using Diffeomorphic "Easy Import" option in Blender. Check the "Use Favorite Morphs" option and include a link to the file which saves the favorite morphs. ( Refer to the Diffeomorphic documentation "Import Into Blender" page )

Link to documentation as a zip file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yllqktxscidw7ha/Diffeomorphic documentation.zip ( For Diffeomorphic stable version 1.6.1 with Blender 2.93 LTS )

After importing into Blender with Diffeomorphic there're many powerful tools to use, then use the Blender "Send to Unreal" plugin to export into Unreal 5.

When trying to import a pose, tried with CD Dakota 8.1 and Base Genesis 8 female I get a traceback error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\wsx2k\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\3.2\scripts\addons\DTB\DtbOperators.py", line 415, in execute

So, I found a guy on DeviantArt doing Celebrity Morphs for DAZ.  I downloaded a few and drag-and-dropped them into the DAZ Library.  They seem to go to Data>Daz 3D>Genesis 8>Male>Morphs>Magnus1781
However, when loading a G8M Base or any other G8M, the morph is nowhere to be found.  Is there some sort of import process I need to follow?  I cannot see it in the Content Library, I can't see it in any of the morph dials under heads, Body, All, etc.  I am stumped.  I have used user-created content before without issue, but I can't seem to figure this one out.

And remember to "Keep vertex order" on both import and also export. The option is in slightly different places for import/export.

under edit object morphloader, you import as many objects with the same vertex count as you wish to create morphsliders, make sure you choose Carrara scale

Puppeteer is under windows, you set a dot for each slider slid to 100 (same as puppeteer in Carrara) then record

animated normals or any textures harder

Works fine here, tried both manual import and easy import with merge geografts. No errors. Test scene included golden.duf it's G8F with golden palace.

blender 3.2.1, diffeomorphic 1.6.2.1068

I just started using the heck out of 20 and since it's been a long time since I saw that happen that' why  I thought it might have been related to the update to 420.
As for the ones that change may have to save? and reload...maybe if they're in a group? amd a parameter is changed on the group?  I'll try to spot more details. 
it's not when exported to an object because that sets all to 100 
when I'm in a modeling  session I may load 40 cubes and bend fold mutilate and spitdle them export, import, duplicate, subseting to move from one place to another.

Brand new DS user here, just by a few days. I've done a little searching of the forum and come up with a blank on this....

How do I import or load a background image, say or photo or bryce image. When I load up the backgrounds in DS they change the lighting.
