Daz Turning any 3d asset into a daz asset.

[FR24_]

Hi, i need 3d daz assests i can't find, what is the best way to turn a 3d file into daz usable assets.Thank you.
For exemple, how do i turn an stl into something usable in daz.

Daz can import obj and fbx files, so look for stl to obj converters, tons of 'em online. Here's just the first one I ran into:

You must be registered to see the links

Same with fbx:

You must be registered to see the links

After importing your obj or fbx, you can save it as an asset for use in any scene.

Learn Daz ?
From the looks of it, Daz can import 3ds files.


However you probably need to setup the materials for your model in Daz as materials rarely are compatible between render engines/3d modelling tools..

jonUrban Stl to fbx? who uses stl besides cnc and 3d printer folks.

Edit.. damn i cant read. i see he said a 3d file.. and not specifically 3ds. oh well

It's very possible to make your own 3d models (or grab other people's stuff) in blender and import to Daz.

Once in daz, you'll have to assign relevant materials to all the surface areas. But there be dragons...

What's that? Your blender model didn't have surfaces assigned? oh well, back to blender you go, and this time do it right.

What's that? you didn't have UV maps already created? oh well, back to blender, and surely you'll learn from your mistakes.

What's that? you don't have textures that match the UV map? you better get started on learning how to paint textures! Or learn to do direct-to-surface painting in Substance Painter / Zbrush / etc etc.

All facetious comments aside: The easiest cases are objects that do not need complex textures - basic geometric objects, or smooth painted machinery surfaces, or some types of architectural works. You can also cheat for some surface features by adding decals.

But the fact is that creating non-shit-tier 3d content is a whole job of work. Professionals take months to get good at it.
