Merging multiple actors into single prop.

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

I know this was asked but no where have I seen any official or proven solution that works. If this is covered in documentation I have not found it.

I want some figures in the background as small groups of people.  I have decimated four figures with clothing etc. and have all four in a scene. No background etc.

  • I want to export that scene as a single PROP that does not need to be posable etc. just a static group of clothed people.

I've tried multiple versions of other people's responses with poor results. Often only one figure is exported and clothing missing.

I've tried exporting to .obj, Tried exporting to cr2, tried saving as PROP but nothing seems to work.

DAZ Techs.   If you guys ever bother to read this and if this is NOT POSSIBLE please chime in and say so to keep people from tearing hear out over the problem.

If in IS POSSIBLE chime in with the proper method to do this.

In any case please solve this once and for all.

Thanks all.

    Hi 
    I have just acheived what you are trying to accomplish but 
    I was forced to  Decimate-Export each figure ONE at a time.

    I was then able to import the decimated low res prop versions using the poser scale preset in DS for both the export and import.

    Have you looked at http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/samples/nodes/convert_figure_to_props/start - you'd need to run it once per figure-plus-hair-and-clothing.

    Were you able to keep both the actor and all clothing intact?

    Yes everything was retained as static decimated  props.
