the bridge doesnt show up for me reinstalled it but open max and its not in the tool list

[@AnimazaStudios]

Hello. The bridge is in the toolbars section of 3ds max. You can view a tutorial on how to properly install it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZDcd4VmecqEhcU

is there a way to export multiple figures at the same time?

[@AnimazaStudios]

I find that exporting from DAZ, it is best to export one character at a time. I have tried exporting multiple characters but the DAZ rigging script in 3ds Max only converts the first model created in DAZ to CAT rig, ignoring the other models.

[@beefycurtains526]

@@AnimazaStudios Yeah thats what i was noticing, but merging the .max files works well as a workaround I guess

Great video.

I can't get the bridge to work for Max 2022 unfortunately.

[@AnimazaStudios]

Try reinstalling the bridge then restarting the computer. I have also found that fine detail, such as hair on a character or minute detail in a setting, crashes the bridge export process. Make sure to hide those on export. If that doesn't work, try exporting as an FBX. If it is a character it wont be CAT rigged, but at least it will be rigged and skinned with regular bones and have all the morphers, and you can reskin with CAT later. If its a setting, export as FBX layer by layer then assemble it in 3dsmax later. Hope this helps.

@@AnimazaStudios I reinstalled max 2020 and did what you said and it still doesn't work. I'm intouch with Daz support to hopefully fix it. Thanks for your help!

[@AnimazaStudios]

@@niallcochrane3331 Oh man. Let us know if it worked. Again remember that some models tend to crash the transfer, so you have to export parts at a time to see what mesh is causing the trouble. Good luck!

@@niallcochrane3331 did you get this resolved? i've been through the daz video multiple times and still unable to find 'DazToMax' - i've even tried with Max 2020.

Morph inside max do nothing. Not understand, try different models

[@AnimazaStudios]

Make sure to use the DAZ to 3ds Max Bridge script and Genesis 8 and Genesis 8.1 models. Not all models have morph targets, especially the older ones.
