Unfortunately it would take a lot of work as there are thousands of tine gaps in the models, to facilitate the clothing hair etc, and every one of them would need filling from what I've read, there was a plugin for it once, but I think it didn't always work.
Thank you that was I afraid from :( I wont waste time with it

Hi! Is it possible to convert these models to .obj or .stl files for 3d printing? Sorry for the stupid question I'm not familiar with DAZ, I only used Sketch, 3Dsmax and mostly for simple tools not for complex models.
If yes, how much afterwork needed? I mean poly mesh repairing for example.
Thank you
Maybe I'm wrong, but I printed out a character and I just exported the character and hair etc. Just select it in the Scene and then go to File > Export and select obj. Whether the figure is detailed enough for you is another matter :)

I'm getting this missing file error when I load Ann from the mega folder assets...
"/data/goldtassel/BradyHairGN3/Brady Hair/Morphs/BB/Hair Fix/G3 Hair Fix.dsf"

Does anyone know where I can get this? If this is in the mega folder somewhere, could someone help with where to find it?

Hi

This is the one that was provided in the Mega folder (I think). You can just place it in the path specified in the error above.

Thanks very much! I found your v8 Max ... am seeing some missing files. Could you just help me to know which bundle / product I will need to find these?
Very specifically the first two look to be some BB custom morphs?

(I will also test your v8 Ann soon)

Many Thanks for helping a fellow aspiring creator!

the "BB morphs" are most likely the ones from the Mega link on the first page here, look for "G8 morphs by bubbas", install them and that should take care of the missing "BB" things

TheGrinReaper With my Max G8, I had to do a character conversion on Tween Ryan (G3 to G8). So you would first need to get the g3 tween ryan character and the character converter utility. The g8 morphs for Eric and Max (and the girls) are available in the Mega folder as explained by wd1111

wd1111 and KingBel ... Many thanks for your help. I tried looking into Mega Folder that I had downloaded and I can see that I do install all morphs given there but no such morphs as the first two that are shown in my screenshot of error:
Do you have some file in that path? If you do, can you share a rar of what is there or any BB/... path files? Or any other user reading this knows where to find those morphs?
Many Thanks!!

I thought those BBEric and Max morphs were on that Mega drive, since that is where I probably got them, but now I couldn't quickly find where they are, so I uploaded the archive I had saved here

extract them, look inside, there will be Data and People folders, they should be copied to the paths you see in your picture, I can't recall where the default paths for the content were, but you should be able to find them in Daz>Edit>Preferences switch to Content tab, big button in the middle - Content Directory Manager, expand Daz Studio Formats, that will tell you where to look

Many thanks wd1111 and KingBel , but I had some missing morphs in the shared Ann G8 as well so I made my own... This doesn't require any BB specific morphs, only the ones mentioned in the preview below and other known Ann assets like G3 Cathy Materials, G3 Brady Hair (and New Victoria 8 Genetalia) .
Hope it will help others as well.

You mean all Mega assets? Or .duf files shared by other users?
What ever the files present on the mega folder.

I manually extracted them and pasted them in daz library(opened file location in smart content).

But when I load some characters, some of the files are missing. Sometimes, assets just don't have any image.

I have seen guys sorting things assets with each bb character. How to do it. Can you help me out?

And one more doubt. Are the assets present in mega folder will be enough? Or do I need to download all other assets shared in comments?

If you followed the steps for getting assets from Mega folder, extracted all different .rars present in mega one by one and then paste the folders like "Data" , "People" , "Runtime" etc in your daz library folder where you already had most of these folders, these folders will also be in Daz content library tree in the software. You will get the G3 characters under there, I think.
[if you can't find them in Daz, search like "Ann.duf" , "Eric" etc in your windows Daz library folder to get the path to go to in Daz tree]

One very important step is to make sure you extracted ALL .RARs. Because some have things that are used in the characters files that are shared in Mega. Also, if you run into error on opening a character file, share that screenshot and I can try to help
