Hello Mr. Israel,
Genesis 3 for Maya is made for Daz 3D Genesis 3 characters.

The workflow typically looks like:
1. Dial in the look for your character in Daz Studio, use one of the export scripts included in my plug-in to export the character.
2. In Maya, use my plug-in to import the FBX file you just exported. Daz 3D characters are already rigged, but without controls. My plug-in creates HumanIK controls for the characters.
3. At this point you can begin to texture and shade the character and apply motion capture.

I’m almost ready to release another plug-in that will convert Daz 3D shaders to Arnold, Redshift, or VRay that you may find useful as well.

Does that answer your questions?

Please be as precise and concise as you can, so we can speedily decide if to adopt this on our current production.
Thank you

Are you working on a shader convector? Wow. This is really interesting, because I honestly never tried to create shaders from scratch. I just used some sliders on the surfaces tab and no more. This will be a great plugin for people like me.

So far I have not bought your plugin, but I want to try it. It’s just that I almost never animated before and I don’t even know that it will work for me in maya, because my knowledge about maya is almost completely absent, but the animation is right in DAZ. I think it will be even more headache, because I tried to do it a couple of times.

I will wait for your plugin with impatience and thank you for your responsiveness! 🙂

P.S: Do you provide technical assistance only here or maybe ask you in some other way?

Hi,

I’m not a 100% of a work flow to animate in Maya and then transfer back to Daz Studio for rendering. I’ve tried a couple times before, a while back, without success. I would suggest checking out this video:

My plug-in has an option to set up HumanIK for MotionBuilder potentially allowing to transfer animation from Maya to MotionBuilder and then back to Daz Studio.

I’m also really close to finishing a plug-in that will convert Daz Studio Uber Iray shaders to either, Arnold, Redshift, or V-Ray. Which would make it a lot easier to render in Maya after animating.

This plug-in will export out both male and female characters with their corresponding genitalia’s, so I would assume it would be able to export a female character with male genitalia, but I don’t know for sure.

I hope this helps. Let us know if you get it and it works for you. Thanks!

Your plugin really interested me, but I had a question. If I finally buy it and start learning animation in maya, is there an opportunity to export the created animation back to daz, for rendering with Iray? Yes, I understand that this is not the best render engine, but after reading your comments on the difficulties of creating shaders, I don’t really want to work anywhere except with Iray.

Can this plugin export a transgender character? Ie woman with male genitalia (G3F + Futalicious)

What has a different poly count the genitalia or the figure? You should be able to create blend shapes the same way you normally would. My plug-in doesn’t add any vertices.

Hi, It does not, sorry.

Hi,

To set up JCMs in Maya it works best for the characters pose to be reset. My script does this automatically (then puts the character in a T-pose inside Maya after setting up the JCMs), but it looks like it may not be resetting the pose for the boots automatically. After adding the boots to the scene in Daz Studio try resetting the pose for the character and make sure the boots are also zeroed out (the feet should be flat on the ground along with the boots). Then after exporting the character and importing it back into Maya, try setting the pose for the high heeled shoes manually. I understand this may not be ideal, but I believe it should work. Let me know and I will also look into providing a better solution in my next update.

Thanks! Hope that helps!
