Thats a good idea. However I think that could screw with the posing for the models so it won't work for me. Regardless thanks for the information as I could use that during scene creation.

apparently vertex groups should become face groups in DAZ while importing but nothing happens
any way to do it?? Rigging from scratch in DAZ not exciting idea
Edit: Nevermind problem solved

Hello guys. I'm new with Blender. I found the models of Ciri, from The Witcher, and few other characters. They are in .blend file. My question is how can I use these models outside of the .blend files. I want to create a new .blend file and import those models, one by one, to create new scenes.

I have a couple of questions which I hope you can help me with.
Firstly, what is the scope for doing something like buying a character on Daz 3D, editing in Blender to make some changes, perhaps, and inserting it into a game? For example, I would really like to replace some of the wandering NPCs in Cyberpunk 2077. There seem to be some common formats between tools that also include rigging, which I understand says how parts of the model are connected.
Second, unrelated question, if I wanted to host a virtual performance, where the movements of models were coming from live capture, is that something that could be hosted in Unity 3D / Unreal engine?

Hi guys, this is more a posing question than anything else. Specifically, when you have scenes with two or more characters that are interacting in some way, and their size/scale values are different, trying to get them to align properly is kind of a pain.
I work in Daz, and my workflow so far is to select an interactive pose that is "close enough" and then try to manipulate it so that the poses line up. For example, a kiss between a very tall person and a normal size person. There are products I have in my library that kinda-sorta do this (my petite gf, my short bf, etc) but the pose sets are limited.
My questions are these:
- Are there posing tools in Daz that I'm missing that would make this whole thing easier? There doesn't seem to be a way to just move a bone into a specific position (e.g. move left hand on figure X to shoulder on figure Y). Trying to manually move them that precisely is a tedious process. Wondering if I'm missing something.
- Would I get better results "faking it" like making the figures the same size and take close-up shots to hide the fact?
- Is this a case where another tool might be better for producing the pose (and presumably saving the preset)?

No.
Daz Studio's posing tools are terrible because they want you to buy poses from their shop. It's marginally more effective if you create poses in isolation, with the figures at the world center, because you can use orthographic projection. But you can't pose two figures together like that.
As the poster above you said, Blender is very complicated to learn, but its posing and animation tools are far beyond whatever shit the Daz3d team have slapped together to get people to waste money in their shop. If you use the Diffeomorphic exporter, you'll be able to export out pose files you can load into Daz Studio. It's not a great way to work, especially if you need to make tweaks to get figures to touch realistically, but it's better at least.

Go to the asset requests subforum of this site and make a request based on the instructions in the pinned post.Hi, can someone get me a little asset from the Unity store?, the asset is free anyway, reason why i don't do that is that i don't have an account there.
Greetings, I have a problem with: New Genitalia for Genesis 9
I recently had to reinstall DAZ because it was updated to the latest version but I didn't like it due to some changes, I uninstalled it and installed the version I had and in which everything worked fine, but due to an error I deleted some files from the folder Daz located in "C:\Users\user\Documents\DAZ 3D" then I opted for a general cleaning of everything related to DAZ and reinstalled it again, but when I load the G9F figure I get the image error, try open the script for "01 - Preprocess Character Textures.dse" but it is encrypted, I have installed all the necessary packages for the morphs but I still get that error and the log file only shows:
2024-02-07 18:28:14.518 Loading script: C:/Contents/People/Genesis 9/Anatomy/New Genitalia for Genesis 9/01 - Preprocess Character Textures.dse
2024-02-07 18:28:14.519 Failed to load script: C:/Contents/People/Genesis 9/Anatomy/New Genitalia for Genesis 9/01 - Preprocess Character Textures.dse
thanks for any help you can give me

Can someone confirm that it is okay to use AI generated images for commercial projects? For example I was thinking using a fictional AI generated map for a small town. I know that Stable diffusion website does say it allows use for commercial project but is there any caveat that I am not aware of? Anyone else used AI images in your commercial project, care to elaborate please?

Has anyone used UE5 for rendering? Would you recommend it? It's kinda more accessible than say Blender or the more dedicated rendering tools.

I think "more accessible" is in the eye of the beholder... it depends how much time you put into the package to learn it.
Apart from that my limited understanding tells me UE is primarily for realtime rendering, not true raytracing. Plus you've got at least the same level of complexity around finding and importing (or creating!) 3d content meshes/textures/clothing/animations/environments as there is in Blender, unless you've got the cash to buy buy buy from the marketplace.
Anyway, here's a search to threads in this subforum about UE:
https://f95zone.to/search/346629615/?searchform=1&q=Unreal+Engine&t=post&c[thread]=11702&o=date
Using AI-generated images for commercial projects can be acceptable, but it's crucial to review the terms of use for the specific model (every model for SD could have different license).
I would also recommend checking that the generated content is not too similar to someone else's work and does not contain any characters or elements that could be under copyright. Some models might generate images very similar to source images. In certain cases, a model may have specific limitations, such as generating exact characters that cannot be used in commercial projects. It's crucial to be mindful of these considerations to avoid potential legal issues. My team used some AI-generated art for a mobile game, which was extensively edited by our artist. It served more as a reference to speed up the art-making process. We haven't any issue with it.

I can't say that it's happened to me, no. One bug I bump into quite frequently with DIM, though, is that one where the Daz Install Manager goes nuts when I launch it after I've manually placed few packages in the Downloads folder prior to opening the application. When I do that, chances are that DIM prompts me to install the Studio and its resources again for no reason. Another symptom I've noticed when this bug happens to me is that DIM also forgets which of my bought products I've already installed.
When that happens to me, I simply ignore what the manager is telling me, then I install those few manually placed packages and close the program after that. Next time I relaunch the DIM everything works fine again. It's crazy.

So, if I'm understanding your issue correctly, when you open the 'Installed' tab in DIM it shows absolutely nothing as if you hadn't install any product yet, right? And you've said you haven't changed any settings, either in DIM or in Daz Studio, is that right as well? Really strange. Have you checked your advanced settings in DIM to see if you can see anything wrong in there?
I wish I could give you specific pointers to fix your problem, but in my (still short) experience with Daz and its install manager, I've never experienced your issue. Let's hope that somebody else can give you a solution. If you have a forum account over there, you can also ask for this issue in

check to see if there are manifest files in Daz 3d\Applications\Data\DAZ 3D\InstallManager\ManifestFiles
and if it matches with what is in DIM basic settings
