Daz to Blender ~ How to Export Daz Character Animation to Blender

In this tutorial, I walk you through how to export character animation created in Daz Studio to Blender. I used Facemotion for the facial animation on a Daz3d character called Melvin. This opens the door to sending your Daz characters with animation to Blender for rendering with Eevee or Cycles.

Hi ! Just wanna know what happend at 13:13 so that Genesis goes from a strange pose to a good one.
Thanks in advance.

What did you do at 6:31 to correct how the character is posed? If I reset transforms they are reverted when the animation starts playing

Funny how whenever I have a question in my head and don't pursue the answer, Solomon releases a video with the answer. Haha!
Great video once again!

[CGRTist]

I am soooo glad that you are making these videos! Looks like I need to go shopping! Thank you!

[solanareznor]

The only video that actually helped me with this, thank you so much!

Hi Solomon,
I got the script from Kenneth but its not working with G8Female.
Only my Males can be exported as FBX 2014. The Females dont have head rotation and the mouth morphs are not moving in Cinema4D and Blender
Do you have any tip for me? would appreciate that a lot since our deadline is coming closer and closer

Thank you Love the character!! Melvin... I knew a Melvin!

[IconicPatterns]

Thank you for this tutorial Solomon! How much work would it take to make textures to look the same as Daz in Blender?

[HyperGalaxyEntertainment]

thanks for sharing~can we be send Daz Character Animation to UE4?

[enesuzar]

how can i save textures as png ( always saves as jpeg ) Can you help

[mhattaran]

What if our character has clothes or props? I tried and they don't keep the animation.

[moomraan]

Yes but it looks so bad in blender and missing tons of details, I'm amazed that you didn't mention that! that's the problem with fbx export, we need a way to fix that or at least export alembics

[beavis]

The only problem I have with this method is that all of the clothing hair and accessories are detached from the body. is there any way to fix that?

[mathupalmer]

Hey, Does anyone know what he presses at 6:30 to get the figure to look correct and not all twister

[Faniix]

helo mr Solomon does that import workflow work with custom animations on my daz character to blender without the animation getting broken

[sharpeye]

Is it possible to attach skeletal animation to custom models of, say, an octopus, shark, bird, dragon, hedgehog, or even a caterpillar robot with twelve tentacles and at least 2 laser cannons?
I am interested in creating my own skeleton for my own model, with custom settings as in standard daz3D or extended models, but not for humans, i.e. is it possible to create custom sliders, say to the length (thickness, number of nodes, etc.) of the tentacles of a robot or an octopus, or some kind of monster?
Let's say the model will be created by hexagon daz3d (or in any other 3D editor).
