I thought I'd like to try to use some of the many things I owned already in the experimental development of a game for sale at some future point. Along the way, I acquired a Daz Originals game indie dev license that was supposed to allow me to use their 'Daz Originals' store content in the development and distribution of games. I came at this from the angle of doing art using Daz Studio assets first. Okay, first of all, I expect I'll get some flak for this post, but try to remember I'm here to warn the Unity community about something that I think is a problem for anyone considering using Daz Studio content in a game. After import to Modeler don't forget to add shadows to textures (textrure properties) if you use light source or your shadows will be pitch black.TLDR, unless you're considering ever doing business with Daz Studio or Morph3D. So when you merge bones, merge vertex groups too.

But shape keys for expressions will be lost and if there are some areas with no weightpaint they will deform (the mesh will strech down). You can keep face rig (if there is any), use neck function instead of head when mapping in Modeler to keep it functional. Just make sure the pose and bone count match. Import process is the same as for any other character tutorial on Tips.

If you do not do it, you will get some posing artefacts (automatically merged bones, rised shoulders, too open legs, weird shoulder deformations during posing, incorrect hand poses, etc.). Basically you need the same bone count and import pose as in Modeler's example doll used for bone mapping. You will have to merge bones for lower arm and for shin and possibly fix some weight painting first.

If you want to do it, consider not sharing with people as that is a copyrigt infrigement and illegal.įirst you will need to fix the model in some 3D program. There are already some DAZ models on Assets.
