FBX exporter suddenly exporting bone twist morphs, breaking everything.

Not sure what I did, I've been exporting animations for years, they were working, but now exporting ANY animation as fbx results in garbage. Can anyone tell me why Daz is exporting these morphs all of a sudden? How can I turn it back off please :)

    I can export the exact same character (basic Genesis 8 female) and animations on my laptop and everything exports fine. Those morphs don't even show up in the list. I see other threads where it appears someone is having this same issue and they eventually just give up. There has to be a reason they'd show up in the export morph list, anyone?

    I was running an older version (4.10). You can fix it by adding rules to ignore those bones.

    I find the DAZ to Unreal plugin exports a better FBX than the inbuilt exporter and it has morph options where you can choose exactly what ones you want to include

    I have been using those FBX exports in other programs too

    Hmmm.  I'll have to check that out, but have to explore getting UnReal first I guess.

    That's one of the issues I have currently is getting specific on the morph exporting.  For going out to Lightwave anyway, I end up trimming a lot of morphs that aren't needed (phonemes for Eyebrows) that sort of thing, but is's workable. Getting rid of those really pares the object file size down.

    Ya, mexist, I think those are from the new FACS system.

    I don't think you actually need Unreal to install the plugin. it exports an FBX, textures and a DTU file to a folder in documents

    The Unreal plugin uses the DTU file

    I'll give the daz to unreal exporter a try. I do seem to get some bone weight issues with some exports, but I assume that has more to do with Unity's 4 bone weight limit, but it's worth a shot, thanks for the suggestion!
