Huge Step Forward!
🕑 Added 2022-09-11 18:58:23 +0000 UTC I'll try to not get too technical about this but the problem I was having was rooted in a very technical world so please bear with me. I'm a little late to the Diffeomophic party (an addon used to export characters from Daz3D to Blender) but I finally got the memo😅. The problem that has cost me so much time and effort was this thing called 'GeoGrafts' that Daz3D does and no one else...does. This entire time I've been using Daz3D's built-in exporter which is very limited, to say the least. I've spent so much time rebuilding their material bases. That alone was killing me but the GeoGraft problem; I had to learn weight maps, mesh editing, sculpting, and material editing. It was a really daunting task that was costing me a lot of blood because honestly, I'm not that good at it. I never wanted to be. I just wanted to get my Futa characters out of Daz3D into Blender, that's it!
So GeoGrafts are extra skins that sit on top of your character's skin; like dirt, tattoos, and the material skin for the Futalicious genitals. I took the time to learn this Diffeomorphic addon and holy shit! It does it all! The materials are already as I would do them and the GeoGrafts are all flattened into one layer so there is no need to fiddle with that either.
This picture is of Iksol from my Hailey Potter universe. I've made no adjustments to her. This is a fresh import from Diffeomorphic. The tattoos and the genitals, all one layer of skin. Even the hair and the eyes look right. I'm just so relieved that there is a solution, finally!
What does all that mean? I still have a lot to learn in the Diffeomorphic addon but this means that all of my Characters will be in Blender soon and we'll have some serious fun once they're here! Wait and see!
