If you find out how, please post it here, as it would help me with my own project. I'd still hunt around, as I agree with you that it should be possible. Of course, the best way would be to not have to do anything of this and just import your model.
EXPORT DAZ MODELS INTO SFM PDF
You'll have to ask in the Daz forums or get some info from Daz's PDF files. What do I know tho? Basically, you can take your model and have Genesis morph into it. This might also require the same typology as the Genesis character, so an existing model, that is not made from Genesis, might not work.
EXPORT DAZ MODELS INTO SFM HOW TO
Like I said, I don't know how to do this or much about it. Now the last option I don't know much about, other than I've seen it done and this is how all Daz's crazily morphed characters are make, but this requires Zbrush, or possibly using Hexagon. You might need to make sure the model imports with the right size and rotation to do this correctly. You will likely need to clean up some weights, but even that's not a big deal in Daz. Plus, your new character can utilize all the features that the Daz characters have, without any headaches. This is literally a couple of clicks and you are done. A better option would be to use an existing Daz skeleton and use the transfer utility tool in Daz to transfer the Daz skeleton onto your model. The 1st, of course, is to create the whole rig in Daz, which might sound like a nightmare, but Daz is quite fun to play around with. The good thing was that is was only 1 of my own projects and not for a client. So, much like yourself, I'm stuck on that project and basically had to abandon it, for now.
EXPORT DAZ MODELS INTO SFM FREE
I even got Maya, just the free trial, to see if I could figure out what the problem was. I've recently had the exact same problems, as the character I wanted to use was created in Maya. It's likely that anything I say is not going to help you, especially if the people on Daz's forum weren't much help. Frankly, it would be beyond ridiculous if the program can’t understand something so utterly standard and simple as a basic skeletal bind. The bottom line on this is I don’t have time to re-rig a million models internally inside DS, when they’re already rigged in the standard manner to be compatible with nearly every other 3D modeling platform, animation program, and game engine on this planet. Nobody seems to know how to bring in an already rigged model. The people on the DAZ forum have tried to steer me towards tutorials on how to rig within DS itself.
Within Maya, everything appears to be rigged identically. I’ll be damned if I can figure out what’s different about DAZ’s pre-existing rigging from my own rigging. However, if I bind anything else to that same character’s skeleton in Maya (such as a pair of pants I made, for example), I end up with the error in DS. If I export an existing DAZ character to FBX from within DAZ Studio, open it in Maya, re-export to FBX, and then re-import to DS, it works just fine, so it’s clear that there’s no direct lack of Maya/DS interoperability. The skeleton, although fully listed in the scene pane, is invisible in the viewport, and does not deform the object when bones are rotated. When I try to import a rigged model (made in Maya) into DS, I get an error, saying: “Rigging limitation: bones without root skeleton”. But the fact that I need to bring everything into DS is proving to be crippling. If I could work entirely in Maya, as I normally do, there would be no problem, of course. For reasons I really can’t get into here, the project is married to DAZ Studio, as the hub of its animation and rendering pipeline. I’ve been hired at the 11th hour to create a ton of content for a project already far along in development. I'm hoping someone here might be able to step up. I know there are DAZ Studio users here, and I urgently need your help.īefore I explain the question, let me first say I have already asked over at the DAZ forums, but so far nobody there has been able to provide an answer. OK, this is not an SL question, but I've spent the last 9+ years answering enough SL questions that hopefully that can be forgiven.
