In part 2 of this mini-series, I'll demonstrate how to save poses and facial expressions internally in DAZ, how to import a model in A-pose, and to have them animate into a different pose, which opens up possibilities for cloth simulation during a pose animation! Lastly, in part 2, I'll show how to tweak your model's textures in the Shader Editor. I will walk you through the process of importing posed DAZ models that include a fully editable bone rig -and- textures. In part of this mini-series, I demonstrate how to set up the Diffeomorphic DAZ Model Importer add-on in Blender developed by Thomas Larsson ( ), and show you the difference between the Diffeomorphic add-on and the newly-released official DAZ-Blender bridge. Well, there turns out there's an add-on for that!

You grunt and head back to DAZ to fix the pose and re-export, re-import, and might even have to repeat this process a few times to get that shot -just- right. Starting with the latter.The long-awaited sequel to "How To Pose DAZ Models (+ Blender Importing)" is finally here! If you're an avid user of DAZ for quick figure referencing in Blender, you'll know the insurmountable annoyance of having to export the model from DAZ, to Blender, only for it to not quite fit the shot you're going for. So it is one of the differences that you should just accept.Įarlier I have mentioned that we will also look at the Eevee and Filament, so let’s do that. In Blender, they are not as shiny and metallic. This is especially noticeable with shoulder pads and boots. Cycles render looks more vibrant and colorful, while Iray is more down-to-earth and realistic.Īnother thing to notice is that some materials do not match. In the end, they look different and that was to be expected. Look-wise I tried to match everything as well as I could. It also contains some tools to make the assets more. Besides, Iray is infamous for its slow renders, so it is not a big surprise. DAZ Importer, a Blender add-on for importing native DAZ Studio files (.duf.

But at least because Cycles can utilize both your CPU and GPU power at the same time makes it a faster rendering engine. It is very hard to say for sure, as I have already explained.

Overall, speed-wise I would say that Cycles is faster. Samples in Blender do not equal iterations in Daz Studio, you can’t compare them like that. You see, each rendering engine is unique. Even though 600 samples in Blender sounds like twice as much as 310 iterations in Daz Studio, this is not totally true. I tried to guess this to match the 10 minutes mark and almost got it right. You must decide how many samples you want before starting the render.
