Add Mesh Smoothing Permanently

in Daz Studio Discussion

I have a bunch of clothing items do not come with Mesh Smoothing added. I have to add it manually (Edit> Object> Geometry> Add Smoothing Modifer). Is there a way to add the modifier permanently? I mean that the next time I load it from my library, it will have the option?

    Are they from some Products ? If so, you just re-save Figure Asset or Wearable Preset to overwrite the original version or save them to your user's Daz Library. That'll do ~

    I believe a product update or a de-install/re-install will kill the first solution.

    I do the same, particularly with shoes (they never fit my big feet :-)  I also do it with dForce (adding either Static or Dynamic).  It seems to me it's a button thing; it's scriptable so why not have a button that just adds smoothing, or dForce in one flavour or another?

    Yea... if there's an update overwrites the re-saved files, you have to save it again ! In case you don't expect to do so, save a separate ver1.1 user-facing file to your Lib. However, if the updates bring you the structural change on the Wearables, you still have to save it again... So resaving them won't be a big deal anyway ~~

    As a content creator and a tinker, I put these frequently-used actions on the toolbar, so first one-click then save them again 'n again, haha ~ It just takes some seconds.

    I use the smoothing modifier with a shortcut key :) and its very easy to add.

    F3 to open Customize Daz Studio -> under actions scroll to Geometry Editing, and right click on Add Smoothing Modifier. Select Change Keyboard Shortcut and choose a key.

    I'm a little annoyed with myself for not thinking of this as I do make shortcuts for other actions. But thank you for the tip - I've followed your lead now.

    Still not a permanent solution but much easier to add the smoothing modifier quickly.
