DAZ is often very generious with material groups but each of those vertex groups will turn into a material slot in Godot. Now is time to look through all the materials. This allows you to disable them at will for better animation performance in Blender ( but don't forget to turn them on for export ). The merge process also moves your meshes to a different collection. If you don't need bones for detailed toe animations cause you character wears shoes merge them as well. Usually this is redundant so we merge them.
Step 5Īfter import you will see that all clothing meshes have their own skeleton/armature. In Blender import the saved DAZ Studio scene file ( not the basic data file ). If you are missing this export option the DAZ Importer plugin wasn't installed properly. Step 3Įxport the basic scene data which creates a json file so your meshes are fitted and weighted to your character shape inside Blender. Step 2Īfter saving the scene as a DAZ studio file change the resolution level of all your meshes from "High Resolution" to "Base" for the export data ( or risk smoothing deforms in Blender ). If you overwrite your textures with just some plain and different colors to keep groups apart you will speed up both import/export processes significantly. You will have to set them manually inside Godot later. At best Godot will create a mess out of them. Don't bother to much about textures and Iray shaders. Save the scene as a normal DAZ Studio file. In DAZ Studio prepare and equip your character how you see fit. Working with 3d models and many import/export steps is a constant mindfield with toolsets breaking left and right with each update. Make sure all tools work by following all their respective first-time setup and installation guides. Tools needed:īlender Addon - glTF 2.0 format exporter (build-in)
