Morph update - “Spring Cleaning Update”

New Features:

• New morph selection dialog during export.

  • Auto-generate a list of every morph in your export, including clothing and hair morphs
  • Filter through your morphs to highlight and select which ones you would like to export.
  • Create morph presets to be reused with any figure of your liking.
  • This script will automatically grab all associated morphs that are being controlled by your morph in this selection.

• Added an option to disable morphs exporting out of Daz.

• Changed location of exported files to: /Documents/DAZ 3D/Bridges/Daz To Blender/

• A new UI design for the Blender side of the bridge. New options are explained below;

  • Pose Tools
    • Choose from your figure imported in the dropdown and import them from Daz Studio in a pose.
    • Checkbox to add poses to Pose Library
  • Morph List
    • Get controllers (using the same name in Daz) that will let you control all of your imported morphs that aren’t being automatically driven,
      even when you are in pose mode.
    • Available controllers are separated into groups based on the corresponding mesh names.
  • Material Settings
    • Checkbox to combine duplicate materials at import
  • General Settings
    • Dropdown for scaling options
    • Refresh all Daz figures
      • Refresh dropdown of figures in your scene (useful for when your figure isn’t in the choices)
      • Note: only works with figures in the newest update (2.3.1) and forward.
      • Moved “Remove all Daz” to “General Settings”.
  • Commands List
    • This is WIP but, is a list of all the commands you can use and the command box.

• Automatically create a pose library with the imported pose

• Added a new option to import poses directly from (.duf) files and automatically save them directly to your pose library

• Added a new option to scale figure mesh with three different options:

  • Real Size (centimeters/Daz scale)
  • x10
  • x100 (meters)

• Setup auto-drivers for morphs imported into the scene.

  • Currently, ERC Keyed Drivers are limited support.
  • Currently, drivers for morphs that control bones are not supported.

• Automatically setup settings correctly for materials when using Transmission (Eevee) - Screen Space Refraction
