Daz Blender stylized character from daz into blender? possible?

[WayneDwayne]

Here is what I wanna do:

make an unique character in daz

import that character, alongside with maps from daz to blender

edit those on blender and animate them there and render them there (with eeve cuz my computer isnt very good)


what would you say? is this possible? i heard about diffeomorphic, can that also import the clothes and stuff like maps from daz?

is there any game made this way with going from daz to blender and rendering there? how can i learn to do this? thanks for reading and if you can answer any of my questions!!!

Also, my gpu is gtx 1660, i think you need a really good gpu to render in daz so thats one of the reasons for doing this, but also for editing the models in daz to make them more stylized like changing the eyes to more anime and such.

Just use Vroid Studio

100% possible
In fact that is what I'm doing!(Don't have a game finished yet tho)

First I make a character in Daz:
I add something like 10-50% of a stylized face morph (Example:

).
Then I mix various other regular face morphs to get the face i want.
Then I add some body morphs to get the shape i want.
And finally I add a vagina or a dick geograft.

After I have made my character I port the character over to Blender with Diffeomorphic(also port over morphs, merge the geografts, and convert the rig to MHX or Rigify.)
After porting I do some sculpting, and fix a few face morphs that get broken from the stylized face morph(though you could probably fix them in daz before porting somehow, I'm not a Daz expert haha.)
I add some stylized hair.
I also make my own eyelashes and eyebrows, but

Diffeomorphic is very powerful and can also port over clothes and environments, but it will take some time to learn to use properly. You can also port over the

Edit: I can probably add some more details and guides for Diffeomorphic if you're interested!

You don't need a very strong GPU for only making a character in Daz if you choose a non rendered viewport view, I initially had a gtx 1060 and that worked fine!

Really good answer, thank you.
If you have any guides for diffeomorphic I would really appreciate them! I am most curious about porting over the genital morphs and converting the rig to rigify, are there any tutorials for that/

Where do you get the stylized hair, do you make it yourself?

There are a bunch of tutorials on YouTube. Just ensure that the one you follow is recent enough.

Videos from

are great for beginners. He has made a few NSFW videos where he uses Daz Characters and render in Blender.
Please note that most of his content is not on YouTube, it's shared using a Google Drive. I don't have the link anymore but you can get it on his

(for free). He also shares advanced content from other creators that are of great quality.

Videos from

are great too.

You also have a few threads about this here

Please note that there is no tutorial that covers everything. Diffeomorphic+Blender can be much more complex (but also more powerful) than simply using Daz, so you need to be sure that this is what you want to do.

The basic process of getting the genitals to work properly in blender is to:
first: Import a character with genitals
second: load the custom morphs for the genital while it is selected (like the vagina/anus opening etc)

third: transfer the genital morphs to the body AND transfer the body morphs to the geograft

forth: select all the geomorphs and the body, and press the merge geomorph button




Also converting the rig to Rigify is super easy, it's just one click and tick off some options and you're good.

I used to learn diffeomorphic, it covers most of the process. BUT remember to read the pinned comment, it covers some geograft details the video missed!

EDIT:
Also I recommend to check out diffeomorphic's blogpost to understand more of the features!

I'm in the process of learning how to make my own, but I'm not quite happy with it yet haha.
So I buy ones I like on Blender market/Art station and tweak them. Just go to Blender market/Art station's shop and search "stylized hair" or "cartoon hair".

I don't see this tutorial posted too much, but it was pretty helpful when I first picked up Blender
