Trouble with importing pose using diffeo

josiahmora20

I'm trying import a pose on an imported dog model called Nubis. I've tried importing him with the morphs and without, with posable bones and without, but no matter the case if I export a pose from daz and import it onto my dog in blender it doesn't work. If I import the pose without the morphs then the neck bends correctly, but the face doesn't have an expression, but if I import WITH morphs it does the expression as expected but then the neck doesn't bend at all. Anytime I import the morphs with the pose it rests the neck, even if I de-select "clear bones." I can't even add the expression with morphs AFTER I import the pose without because it just clears the bones again. So it's like I'm forced to choose either facial expression or body expressions, it's weird. Hopefully this makes sense. Please help!

Easy import only works fine with genesis figures from G1 to G9. For other figures you have to import morphs separately as custom morphs, then you can import the pose preset you saved in daz studio. If the pose preset uses any body morph you have to import those as well. Another option is to bake the pose in daz studio before saving the pose preset, which this way doesn't require the body morphs.

Sorry, well I thought that was working but it's defintely not. as far as the first suggestion, when I try to import custom morphs I get a python error. When I try to bake in daz it also doesn't work. Maybe you can tell me what I'm doing wrong?:

You just need to set all Pose Control properties on Nubis as Favorites. Easy Import with Diffeo plus ticking DAZ Favorites, then all imported Favorites morphs will work. The Pose Preset will work as well.

BTW, I use Diffeo 4.2.1 but it should also work with your 1.7.3 ~~

The python error is probably a bug, there's little testing of the addon other than genesis figures. Please update to the latest development version with the most recent bug fixes, so if it doesn't work we can file a bug report to Thomas. What figure is that please link the product page so I may be able to give it a look.

Thanks I'll give this a try, and I didn't realize I was using an old version of diffeo!

Didn't have any problem with Nubis with the latest addon version, just load the custom morphs then the poses and it works fine. Or you can use daz favorites as suggested by Crosswind but that won't work with jcms if there's any.
