Export .obj from Daz Studio

1. Set to Base Resolution

1. Load Genesis 3 into a new scene and select it.
2. Open the Parameters tab.
3. Expand the Genesis 3 Parameters

By double clicking the name or clicking the arrow to the left of it.

4. Select the General Property Group
5. Under Resolution Level, select “Base” from the dropdown menu

if you export at a higher resolution, you will not be able to import the morph back in, unless you’re a Daz PA.

1. With the Genesis 3 figure still selected, within the Parameters tab, click Currently Used



2. Set both the Mouth Realism HD and Navel Morphs to 0.

If you see any other morphs dialed in under the Currently Used section, set them to 0 as well, or you will need to reverse them out later (I explain how in Part 3 of this Learning Path).

*Important*
If you plan on selling or redistributing the morphs you create in anyway (whether for free, or for profit) you must reverse out any morphs you have dialed in when you export out the figure (I’ll explain how in the ZBrush to Daz Studio section of this tutorial), except for certain merchant resources. Check their individual license agreements (please note, most merchant resources don’t allow redistribution for free, only for profit).

If you’re planning on using them only for personal projects, you can export any combination of morphs you would like and use as a starting point for your sculpting. Just remember, you won’t be able to sell them or give them away!

Now that the Resolution Level has been set to “Base” and you configured your morphs, you’re ready to export.

1. Go to File > Export… or click the export button on the UI.
2. Select where you would like to export the file to

I like to create a dedicated project folder for each of my projects and keep all related filed organized within that folder.

3. Set the Save as Type to “Wavefront Object (*.obj)”
4. Give the file a name.
5. Click the Save button.
6. Configure your export settings in the window that pops up.

Make sure to use the correct scale.

The settings to the right are what I typically use for creating morphs (you may need to change the scale depending on the modeling application you plan on using, 1 unit = 1 cm for ZBrush or 100%).

7. Click Accept.
