How to Use

1. Open Blender and switch to the 3D Viewport.
2. Go to the "Daz Studio" tab on the right-hand side of the viewport.
3. Add the Daz Studio executable by specifying the location of the Daz Studio application.
4. Select the texture output folder to save the exported texture files.
5. Ensure all materials use the PBR workflow with a BSDF shader.
6. Select the objects you want to export from Blender. (if you want to select export)
7. Click one of the "Selected" or "All" export buttons to export your selected objects, materials, and animations.

Important Note

-       Baking materials is a heavy process, so it should only be performed if necessary.

-       It is recommended to merge all objects of the file to new blender, then export.

Importing to Daz Studio

1. The script will reconstruct the scene with the exported data, adding models, lights, cameras, and animations to your Daz Studio scene.

Requirements

-       Blender version 3.0 or above.

-       Daz Studio version 4.15 or above.

-       All materials should follow the PBR workflow with a BSDF shader.
