DAZ TO BLENDER BRIDGE: How to use this amazing official script

You need to create objs and fbx from Daz Studio. But the software is free so, not a big issue 😁

@@NazzarenoGiannelliCG Hi, I was wondering how you also exported the shape keys sliders? I exported mine and it was blank. Only the vertex groups

[@teropiispala2576]

I'm not having fun, it's driving me crazy. While it seems to work rather well, there's one problem which prevent me from using it and I haven't get past it. Practically all Genesis characters scales limbs and skeleton, but that's not supported by the plugin. When I use character morphs in Blender, armature is not scaled and it totally brakes the model. Everything is bent around armature joints, which are many times outside the body. It's very difficult to scale armature manually because there are helper bones and they are not connected. DAZ studio knows how to scale armature, so proper drivers should be generated on blender.

An awesome tutorial, which goes wider than the basic principles; for example the creation of morphs in Blender and sending it to Daz 3d. One could for instance, create a proper breathing morph, which is expensive to buy from Daz 3d. I did not appreciate the background "music". It serves no purpose other than to irritate. However, this trend, together with the tutor's face sitting in some corner has apparently become a trend and a meme. The rest of the tutorial is in choice English and a pleasant elocution by an expert; a guru. At long last, we can overcome the the limitations of animation in Daz 3d.

I don't find the Daz interface or workflow too bad... But it's surely different from the other 3d softwares and can be confusing at times. It's nice to be able to jump to Blender with those quality characters you can get on Daz.

[@HanSolocambo]

DAZ3D found a 3D niche of customers : people who know nothing about 3D at all, but still want to render images and say all proud "I did it". If they focus on Blender then they abandon their best customers who buy clothes, shoes, etc. because they can't make it themselves and don't even bother to try, to reach customers who are way more potentially average or pro 3D users. It'd just be a terrible marketing choice. So yeah, they should/could. But nope : they certainly won't.
