Make sure "apply transforms" is checked in easy import. Or apply transforms before converting to MHX.

setup > corrections > apply transforms

Hi,
I can import a character wearing heels using Diffeo just fine, but when I apply an MHX or Rigify rig to it, things go south.
The rig is offset to the mesh, most likely by the added height from the heels.
When I export the character with flat feet instead, I am unable to tweak the toe positions and have the shoe deform to this new angle.

Is there a way to compensate for the added character height, so that the fk/ik controllers match the positions of the mesh?

Thanks!

Suggest you directly use the product in Smart Content > Products tab rather than Files tab... uncheck Filter by Context which may bring you low filtering in Smart Content...

If you installed the product via Daz Connect (you have your account logged in...), I'm not sure but there might be some wrong metadata. Suggest you alwasy install products in DIM (at least for the downloadable products...)

It works! Using the Products tab instead of Files seems to have resolved this issue! I never even noticed these tabs and the contents inside them looks so similar that I never would have thought about this. I will continue to use the Products tab for other assets. Thanks so much!

Thanks for your reply, @crosswind. By 'can't change' I mean that the default hair is a brownish-red colour but I can't make it any other color using the method you describe. This method works just fine with any other hair I've tested (and used to work for me with Soft Curls Ponytail). Thanks for checking on your end - at least it's not a problem for everyone else. I've tried deleting this hair from the Install Manager and redownloading/reinstalling but unfortunately the hair is always the default brownish-red. :(

Can you check in your Viewport, which DrawStyle are you using ? And can you find any warning / error message in DS Log ?

I normally use Texture Shaded in the viewport but I tried a number of display styles, including Iray, and they all show the same red hair after I try a different material. The Log might give some clues as to what's wrong. It shows a bunch of warnings and references to items missing:

I don't use smart content, and do tend to remember who the PA of a clothing style is is rather than the product name, so 'Vanity' folders tend to be useful for me. Generally if I want a dress for my character I go to Arryn/Onnel, for leather wear, Rhiannon and for a bit of skimpwear to turn males into tongue tied lumps, Lilflame, then I search those library subdirectories for what I think will suit my character.

As a creator of freebie props & poses.. almost everyone has their own way of sorting their library, so I have absolutely no idea where will be best for any particular user, and it's almost guaranteed what I system I do use will be wrong for more than half of users. So, I stick it in a 'Vanity' folder because

1. It's what I find useful and
2. It's a convenient point for anyone else to look for it & move it if they desire.

What I'd really like is for DAZ (as a central 'authority' in this) to publish location recommendations and then I'd follow them. In the absense of such recommendations, it's a free-for-all. Unfortunately.

Richard

In fact they do - http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/dson_spec/format_description/metadata/categories/start online, it is also in the /resources/RootCategories.txt file in the application folder. The full category tree is also visible under Categories in the Content Library (not necessarily in Smart Content since that shows only categories that contain items with the current filtering options)

you would likely need to save it as support asset figure AND make sure you have blended/triax weight too

and no, it's a much bigger footprint than legacy Poser rigging 

I love using Poser legacy content in Carrara for just that reason, it works so well compared to duf which is full of issues

another option is DAZcollada export from D|S Carrara import which works quite well with Poser content

I have a lot of trouble remembering the names of people I know in my life and that includes many of the PAs I have bought products from. Yes, there are some with a very distinctive style, RawArt, AeonSoul, ChevyBabe, esha, Stonemason... that I can recognize almost immediately, but others, well I am clueless. As I am installing products I have bought into my new computer I have found that I am surprised that one I own it, two who made it, three how could I forget it! This is why Content Library is not useful for me except for a few products like complex shaders.

And as for metadata, I am frustrated beyond words the items dropped into one category that have no relationship with that one. A car, food, clothing, dumpster all coded as 'Furnishings/Decor'! At least make it simple for the user to fix this again for ourselves.

To me, PA folders are nothing but a nuisance, and I nuke them in those libraries that I manage in the Content Directory, without smart content. But I really really wish we could adapt smart content metadata in an easy way! I don't understand why the database clings to the original installation folders like glue, there seems to be no reason that I can see why users should not be able to organize their smart content to their heart's content . This would solve many grievances I feel.

For most poses daz studio asks the user to turn off limits, if this is the case you have to turn off limits in blender as well before loading the pose.

runtime > locks and limits

Then if you use IK rigs as MHX or rigify, there may be slight differences depending on the pose, as the pose gets converted from the daz rig, so this is expected. It is also important to understand that diffeomorphic is first designed to import the daz assets in blender then pose and animate there, though there's features to import daz poses and animations.

no idea about pricing 

I only download the free lorez image

just save the one generated in the browser 

I use that in Gimp witn my original image

import as a layer, resize layer to match

 select transparent bit by colour

merge layers and cut

Unreal Engine 5's window for viewing a skeletal mesh has a button for importing a morph target as an fbx file.

With the Daz to Unreal plugin, I was able to transfer a G3M figure with morphs and the plugin's subdivision level for the figure set to 2. I tried doing that again with the same G3M figure with the plugin's subdivision level for the figure set to 3, but Daz Studio crashed. However, I was able to transfer that same G3M figure with subdivision level 3 and no morphs included.

Daz Studio's Daz to Unreal plugin can export a skeletal mesh with morphs. But, I want to export just the morphs as fbx files. For, I can then import those fbx files as morph targets into the G3M figure with subdivision level 3 that I had already imported into Unreal Engine 5.

So, how can I use Daz Studio to export an fbx file of a morph?

correct file paths in metadata file (*.dsx), then re-import it.

Oh, it's that simple ?

If there is an official update, will DIM still be able to find the moved product ?

Right, not complex. But considering the official update you may get for re-installation, you better also correct the file paths in *.DSX file in the folder of Manifest Archive...otherwise when IM package uninstalls the files you ever moved, it cannot find the files from the original DSX file.

However, if the files in the update package locate in the very same folder(s) to which you've ever moved the files, you don't have to worry if DIM is able to find the moved files or not... Anyway, the above process is always the safest way if you go for fixing the issue yourself while waiting for the product update ~~

At least the "several Poses directories" problem can be solved easily when one knows how to move files under Windows.

Not if someone is planning to use Smart Content (it's likely require other changes but I currently don't know what they are).

Exactly. For Smart Content users, existing metadata of the product won't work anymore after "directly moving folders / files". So either correct the folder structure, Manifest and metadata files in IM package before installation, or after moving folders no matter in File Explorer or Content Library, correct file paths in metadata file (*.dsx), then re-import it.

I imported the same pose

The screen I see on daz

The screen that I see using diffeomorphic

They're different

It's not even positioned

Can you solve this?

PNG / Vector files can be easily converted to 3D mesh in Blender, it's a quick and totally free way. Search "blender image to mesh" on youtube, you may find lots of tutorials. You can get it done in a couple of minutes. Then thicken the mesh in Blender or import OBJ into DS, thicken it by using Thickener.

Having never downloaded Blender. I doubt I could get it done in "a couple of minutes". But that's for the confidence in me. :)

Matew, can you please include the import options for blender 4.3 in a screenshot? I think the one you included was for an older blender. And I am confused how you made the imported obj files in blender appear smooth instead of the blocky texture it had before?

In Blender, to have an object smooth, you select your object in object mode (not in edit mode) and go in Object/Shade Smooth or Shade Smooth Auto.. For the import the newer version of Blender should be easier than the old ones since they keep vertex orders by default.

Thank you so much! I was also wondering if you can apply subdivision modifier after applying shade smooth to make it look more smooth and be more precise with sculpting? Of course you shouldn't bake it and remove the modifier before exporting. Is that a better approach?
