arcopk.blogg.se - Blender to daz3d

I got my character from one package through another and into the main animation package. Im sure its a settings thing somewhere.Īnd so from this point, you’re probably like me: GREAT! Zero rigging to do. Still, my character comes in smaller than I started. I mean, does anyone remember when Mixamo was a paid service? Mixamo is free from Adobe. On the flip side, this process has come a long way since the early days of trying to get things around between packages.

This is what it looks like after you first import the Mixamo rig to Blender (Daz3D created, to Mixamo first): Couldn’t/wouldn’t animate my character even if I tried. Literally, half the weight/density of an established Blender model and it moved like shit. The Daz3D model I imported was only 314, 558 faces, and 449,000 verts. Here’s the kicker: the Rain rig was like, 1.3 million faces and an equal amount of verts. There is a cool plug-in that even makes controllers for the imported rig (Provided by Mixamo) which helps a lot but the moment you try to move, say, an arm up and down, it’s like wading through molasses. My issue with Mixamo to Blender is the sluggishness I get when trying to animate. The good news: all indications are proven that rigging in BLENDER is far easier than rigging in Maya.

Mixamo to Blender was sluggish and ‘almost perfect’…just not there yet.

Like, you build a character, there’s already a dancing clown animation in Mixamo or Daz3D and you attach that animation to the rig. Like buildings, non-moving vehicles or characters OR pre-animated characters already attached to the rig Mixamo creates.

Any import/export to Maya and Blender from Poser/Daz3D is best utilized for stationary, non-rigged objects.

The short answer to save you the long read: Today’s options for this work are “ Daz to Maya Bridge“, utilizing Mixamo to create the rig and importing into Blender and Mixamo to Maya straight FBX. So, I’m still interested in creating a custom character in Daz3D and I want to straight animate it in Blender or Maya.

I’ve spent the better part of the 20th century - when options were even worse - trying to bridge that gap and the results always come back to the simplest fact: you better knuckle down and learn to traditionally rig a model. You can google search all day and come up with a thousand responses on the best way to bring poser/Daz3D characters over to established animation packages and get a thousand ways to do it. Gotta find all sorts of plugins to translate to Maya/Max but they are no longer supported or suck or nearly there but something is always wrong.Bone structures in either repackage do not carry over to Maya/3DS Max well.Problem with THAT concept: (Heavy sigh – Where do I begin): Ideal Concept: Use already established, customizable, and potentially rigged Poser and/or Daz3D characters in a better animation package (Maya, Blender, etc) and be golden. Mixamo comes along (years back) and tried to fix all of that.
