I had a little trouble at first finding it in Daz after installing it with the Daz Install Manager, as there’s 2 places called “Scripts”. Overall the magus figure works fine enough and doesn't use any corrective morph.Daz has a free plug-in for bridging from Daz Studio to Blender, so I added a Genesis 8 male figure where I had added a Bodybuilder morph to it.
Please note that I uncheked "preserve volume" in the armature, since G1 doesn't use jcms and the corrective smooth is responsible alone to preserve the volume and prebended shape. Back in blender I added the corrective smooth to the figure and shrinkwrapped the outfit. Then I converted to general weight and exported the dbz. I prebended the elbows and knees and a little shoulder, but left everything else alone to avoid distortions on the magus outfit.
In blender we add the corrective smooth modifier to the figure.If it is a G1 G2 figure then we add the general weight maps: edit > figure > rigging > convert to blended weight.In daz studio we prebend the figure as required depending on the figure and the outfit.In general a nude figure can be more prebended than a dressed figure, and a dressed figure may require more or less prebending depending on the outfit. Please note that the prebending may depend both on the figure and the outfit. This technique works fine with G1 G2 too. So it’s only good for original blender animation.īelow it's an example with G8F, the deformations are not bad considering no jcms are used at all. As a downside effect this will not work to import daz poses since the rest pose is changed this way. As a side effect this also works better with ik that likes prebended limbs. This way we bake some main deformations from daz, then we may also use a corrective smooth modifier to help preserving the volume and shape of the baked deformations. Now to help with this we may use a old trick that’s exporting prebended figures. Plus jcms don’t work anyway with G1 G2 figures that use triax instead, not supported by blender. One common issue for daz figures is they require literally hundreds of morphs to get the figure working.
