Some of the more complex hair meshes have additional joint sets even when you enable settings described above.įor them to work properly, you’ll need to parent them to the head joint(s):ġ. Merge Clothing Into Figure Skeleton for FBX export These additional objects have their own sets of joints.įor the clothes, this can be disabled by using specific export settings: Models in Daz are often made up of several 3d meshes: one for the character body and a few others for the hair, clothes and accessories. If a joint has two or more counterparts in the Daz Studio skeleton, we recommend to rig all of these joints with one set of prototypes. The following tables list the main joints in the Cascadeur skeleton and their counterparts in Daz skeleton. JointsĬharacter skeleton in Daz is structured similarly to the one used by standard Cascadeur models, but its structure is a bit more complex, and some of the joint names are different. It is sometimes used for moving the character as a whole, but for Cascadeur rig, it is not necessary.We recommend to ignore it and start rigging from the next joint in the hierarchy (named Hip). Standard Daz Studio skeleton starts with a root joint. However, you don’t have to rig every joint. If your character includes complex hair or clothing meshes, you’ll have to rig them manually.Īs usual, your goal is to create sets of Prototype objects for the joints associated with your character. However, it is recommended to then use the regular Rigging Tool for making refinements to the prototype rig.įor example, Quick Rigging Tool cannot properly work with additional objects. The base of the rig can be created using Quick Rigging Tool. Now you need to create a rig for your model. You should end up with something like this. Use either FBX or Collada format both should work fine.Īfter this, import the model to Cascadeur.To do this, select either Import FBX/DAE → Scene or Import FBX/DAE → Model from the File menu. Start with exporting your model from Daz Studio. The process of importing Daz Studio models to Cascadeur is similar to the regular import process, but with some differences.
