How to import animations from Daz to Blender using Diffeomorphic?

edited October 2024 in Blender Discussion

I can't seem to find a single tutorial online on how to do this. I prefer to animate in Daz, and I want to be able to use that animation on my character in Blender, imported with Diffeomorphic.

I'm just sitting here trying every setting, but nothing works. I've tried exporting the pose in daz as a pose preset with animated range selected then clicking "import action" in diffeo. There was one time—I'm not sure what I had clicked—but the animation at least made keyframes giving me some movement, however, transforms like arms and legs didn't bend or move. But now it only imports as a pose.

When I imported the characted through easy importer i checked every morph option, and when I try to import the action, I also select "load missing morphs," but the only thing that happens is it loads as a pose that doesn't move with tons of missing parts to the facial expression anyway, indicating missing morphs, which just doesn't make sense. Obviously, I'm having a ton of issues here, so if someone can point me toward a tutorial or give me step-by-step instructions, I would be forever grateful.

    You are doing the right steps, there's nothing to add. The only thing that can happen is blender doesn't find some morphs that you are using in the animation, thus it can't load them and the animation doesn't work as expected. In this case the list of missing morphs is provided in the console. This generally means you either have to update the content folders in global settings, or you have to load the morphs as custom morphs before loading the animation.

    Another thing you can try is to bake the morphs in daz studio before saving the pose preset, this way body morphs are not necessary, but it only works for bones not for shapekeys.

    I appreciate the help, but baking didn't work, it changed her body back to the base figure for some reason. content folder is correct in global settings.

     It's strange, in Blender when I import the action it will give me this python error and not import anything at all, then when i reimport the exact same animation the same way it works but doesn't include all the morphs. The consol indicates a vertex mismatch which doesn't make sense as I'm quite confident the morphs don't change the vertex count.

    You are trying to import the morphs to a different mesh, 25182 vs 2028 vertices. You have to select the mesh object you want to import the morphs for.

  • josiahmora20josiahmora20 Posts: 83

    ohhh, i was selecting the armature, i'll try that, thanks

    Wait, just to make sure I'm doing this right. The action and/or poses should be applied to the armature but the morphs should be loaded onto the meshes?

  • PadonePadone Posts: 3,873

    Yes

  • josiahmora20josiahmora20 Posts: 83

    Well, I took your suggestion and loaded the missing morphs for each body part as indicated by the system console, however I still am getting the same vertex issue when applying the pose to the armature. It also says "no Genesis mesh was found Scanned morphs for Genesis9 do not exist" which Doesn't quite make sense to me.

    For the missing FACS, I also clicked that box when I imported my characted with easy importer so I'm not sure why they wouldnt be working.

     

    Another Issue... some morphs just arent working that ARE imported, for example the custom morph BC 3 Depth Adjust is listed and has a value of 1 but does nothing and changing that value does nothing.

    This is too complex to handle here, please open an issue at diffeomorphic so we can help you better and Thomas also can give a look eventually. Be sure to first update to the latest development version as new bugs are fixed there. Then provide a test scene and exact steps to reproduce the issue.
