Yeah 100% it would be nice to see more and more useful tools in DAZ. First they need to redesign the entire UX. Its not great. Lets hope for the best here. I think this is a step in the right direction though. Lets see what comes:) Thanks for the message mate:)

Hey mate. So if you buy this version the all updates for the version are free. I think you need to buy the next full version though but at a discount if you have it already. Why not wait a bit they always have this 50% sale on now and again. It definitely needs more customization as its lacking in these departments for sure. If your not sure then Id wait a while or for a sale at least. Hope this helps:)

Hope your well mate:) I hope you have a great weekend my friend:)

Not yet. Well not an easy way anyway. First option is choose a body MH proved there like 6 of them. Other way is to export your MH body out of unreal and sculpt it using blender or Zbrush the way you want and bring it back into unreal and add it to your MH using something like Mesh Morpher. But mesh morpher is expensive. hope this helps

Your welcome mate:) glad it helped. Yes you can. You need to make the Daz character and pose it on the timeline, Export its animations then re-target in Unreal to the Metahuman. Here is how you do the Daz character (timestamped) th-cam.com/video/lpbUpkYdcO4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=IsHQMXXva2v0zcGY&t=1323 and here is how you re-target animations. th-cam.com/video/asK0ix0LTlc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=nQMK42nAo0OAMZa0 But in this case choose your metahuman skeleton. hope this helps:)

Sup kev :) . Any model can look bad or good depending on your lighting and materials . Metahuman though have fantastic skin materials , hair etc and are so well put together:) makes em look so good . But we can also use those metahuman materials with any other character with proper setup . Hope your well mate :)

Iss aaa yooooo Margret:) Have a good weekend mate:)

You should have explained-- Margaret is your *_cat!_*

😁

Thank you mate :) have a great weekend :)

Sure its a gimmick but what a sweet gimmick. Also it does open a nice audience for the non artist, things like TH-cam, ticktock etc. Its definitely a nice to have and a ton of fun to experiment with... I guess lets see where it all goes:) Thanks for the message. Its good to get people opinions on things:) have a good weekend mate:)

@@imagineeverything oof, tried to run the demo and it says I'm out of video memory on a 3060 with 12GB. can't run it to try it.

@@button9 That doesn't sound right at all. It should work with no issues. Id contact support. They are fast and great. They should be able to help you run it. Lucky you tried the demo first:)

You have to set keys on your rig . So in the sequencer you need to set the keys for your character. Then every time you open your scene the pose will be stored in your sequencer. If you want to save them to an animation clip or pose clip you need to bake it down to an animation clip that can be reused for other metahuman . I have a vid for that here th-cam.com/video/HgYCYyxgnSk/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared

@@imagineeverything muchísimas gracias 🥺✨tu video está increíble me ayudó bastante

@@Mychu489 Amazing to hear mate:) Thank you and glad it helped:)

Ha amazing my man:) I’m happy I could help the legend :) huge love bro . I hope your doing well and have a great Sunday :)

Massive respect mate:) thank you for the kind words :)

Ah haha well let’s see how ethical they are. Maybe they make a good plan with the content creators. Yes completely limited and for me useless for now but new things need to start somewhere. Let’s see where it goes and as for a token system. I wouldn’t personally use it. Tired of subscriptions n crap:) have a good one mate :)

Haha what’s up kev :) sooo your explaining a detailed normal map. You would bake down the high res detail of your sculpt onto the maps. Meaning you won’t have that geometry in daz but you would be able to use the normal to get some details back. I do have a tutorial on blending normal maps on my site. I think a better way would be exporting a high res obj then sculpting details and bring that obj back in as a high res morph. I’ll look into it :) have a great weekend kev mate :)

Tools for artists are a good thing if your still in control and they help get you to the exact point you want to be but you bring up a very good point. What does this do to the content creators? Seems like everything they do these days is kinda edging out the creators one way or another. Intentional or unintentionally. Yeah really not nice.

HA Love this comment mate:)

Ahh welcome :) and thank you:) I have a good few up from start to finish and many vids where I show of my techniques:) maybe they help:) have a good day mate :)

Hey mate. Been ages since I’ve used this thing but no you don’t have to match. It’s automatic from what I can remember :) hope this helps

@@imagineeverything I tried the other one you mentioned but it doesn't convert G3 to G9 so I thought I'd give it a shot.

@@davidmouser596 Ah ok. Yeah Ive never used G3,s . Let us know if it works for you. Any tests you do :) Maybe it can help some people here:) Have a great one

100% the amount of grooms you get really do make it a really good price and not including the outfits n other stuff. Like I said I like fair. They have done a good job and continue to bring out more and more updates. Lets see where it goes. Have a great day mate:)

Ha Im sorry man. But yeah its a pretty cool piece of kit. The AI is not thee yet but will be released soon hopefully. But yeah enjoy it. Its definitely worth the price. I like things that are fair and fair they are:) Enjoy mate:)

Thank you mate:) much appreciate the kind words. If your using unreal you can always use automatic LOD,s also the meshes are not as heavy as metahuman. But yes this is a really good point .

There is a demo you can try first before you buy it. Yes you can use daz clothes. You can. Use blender etc but the easiest way is using meta tailor. I have a tutorial on how to do that just look up meta tailor :) I hope this helps and have a good Sunday :)

@@imagineeverything I bought it (RB). I see that the BaseMesh.fbx are in a folder. If this were to be used by the program, it could be adjusted to make the character somewhat feminine.

Yes you can use it and create all genders :)

Haha unfortunately nothing ever works easy. Daz just needs a few adjustments or they need to update their rig for 5.4 . Reblium comes in with one click which is nice . Check out my other reblium vids. You can also export morphs or ARKit to use with metahuman animator or live face. It all works but you would still need to add your physics and a good few other things. Rebliums bridge though I find better. It imports it like a metahuman bp . Also it has groom hair which I like. All depends on what you like using but both will still need a certain amount of tinkering:)

If the folder does not exist the create it :) let me know

You could take them over Im sure but not using the morphs in Daz or anything like that. UV and poly counts are different assets. But maybe to CC using the import character and morphing it to a cc...... maybe? and daz you could bring it in but need to set it up as a single character. I think it would be a nightmare:) Depends on how integrated you want it . Have a good weekend:)

Putting together a control rig in UE5 is really quick for these. Other software could be more challenging though. But slowly they are adding in these things. Blender already is a one click solution and animating with Mocap is a breeze. But yes it needs more time for alot of features. Let me know the features you would like the most:)

Nice one mate :) enjoy

Thanks mate :) yeah it’s pretty cool but blender hardops does it better :) it is pretty cool though:) enjoy and thanks :)

@@imagineeverything yeah im using plugit by wizix but my version is not compatible with 2025., so that is a damn fine plug in. but gotta wait til I get a new job before I can plunk down money for it. though he was nice enough to give me a decent discount. :) so this will have to do for now. :P.

@@jamesbrady1930 It works at least and is pretty cool:) Yeah man. Always use what you have and make it work:)

Changed. Just for you buddy :)

@@imagineeverything it was almost impossible to find 😂

@@imagineeverything I'm glad I found it tho thanks for doing that hopefully it will help others now

Legend mate:) thank you for the feedback :)

Ha sorry mate. Maybe use it as a sound loop to get your neighbor up every morning:) Cheers for the message mate:)

I have not tested it yet but the solution is the same as UE which is a one click solution with the plugin provided. Look wise I have no clue. Hair cards and strand based hair are both supported :) hope this helps

@@imagineeverything is there already a blender export plugin?

@@MalteseStudios Yes mate:)

Howzit bru and welcome to the channel :)

Me too! Starting the development of my game in November and am super excited to join the community of South African developers.

@@Mr_Kisch You still in SA?

@@imagineeverything yup! You in the uk right heard a bit of the accent in the video.

Was in the uk. Now Germany

🤦🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️

We use cc for production. Cc 4 is really nice :) I am starting to use reblium a lot with personal stuff and I like it. If you buy everything for cc then it’s extremely powerful but costs a lot. Reblium is 99 and done but doesn’t come close to the power of cc. So I have no idea if you can 1 click into unity. I don’t use unity but you can certainly export out the fbx and export it that way. Then just hook up the materials n textures . Bit longer but will definitely work. In unreal there is a one click option which is nice :)

Hey mate :) how are you ? I have a few tutorials on from start to end. I always tweak the skin gloss and sss. Eyes I have a tutorial on how I get that eye glint to on here . Check out eye glint tutorial:) I hope this helps and thank you :)

WhooooAAAA MEINE Freund:) how are you? This is really amazing of you to say. I miss you to man:) how are you and are you still working on your book? I hope you doing well my friend and miss the good old days seeing each others art and work:) I hope you are doing well and think the same about you. Your work is amazing my friend:) I hope we speak more :)

@@imagineeverything Hey Ry, I’m doing great, thanks for asking! I’m still working at the gas station and I spend every free minute developing my novel. I keep changing a lot of things, but the core idea remains as I originally envisioned it three years ago. Working at the gas station has also made me physically stronger, and I can accomplish much more than I could two years ago. I lead a simple life and find joy in the little things. I’m especially happy whenever I get a day off to work on my novel. It fulfills me and makes me really happy. I also take a lot of pictures, but I don’t share them publicly. At the moment, everything remains for me alone, even though it’s not always easy without external validation. What I need most right now is time that I can use wisely and effectively. I hope you’re doing just as well and enjoying life. Stay creative and inspired! We’ll definitely keep in touch, and I’ll make sure to reach out to you whenever I have more time. Talk to you soon, Muki ♫♪♥☺

Sounds amazing my friend:) honestly the simple life is the best life. We do t need a ton of rubbish in our lives. The basics and a humble happy life:) yeah I’m doing well thanks :) everything is fine here :) still working a lot but I enjoy it:) I look forward to seeing your novel one day and I wish you the best:) your awesome Muki mate. Let’s keep in touch and happy to hear your well my friend :)

YEE hear that rumbling down yonder son...... Them winds ish uneasy tonaat. Sup my man:) how are you. Thanks for the kind words my friend. Yeah The more I see life the more I see how easy it is to settle so many issues just with a bit of communication. Yet it seems so damn hard for most. Its an odd one this one. Such an easy thing to do yet so many would rather lose everything then just drop the ego and talk:) Lets hope the world changes:) have a great weekend my man:)

Hey mate thanks for sharing:) Yeah man our biggest regrets come from our Ego. Trash it and Live the happiest life you can in this short time. Best thing I ever did was drop the dumb ass ego. Call your mom:)

call her rn

@@imagineeverythingtrue. i have other issue, i have such a lower volume voice, when i say something and no one looks at me i think they dont hear me, but my ego says they ignore you, dont say it again. Idk u have some tips on stop caring on my ego

@@naturegrasp Hey mate. I'm not a doctor or anything like that so take everything I say with a grain of salt. Honestly it all comes down to confidence for me. Dont worry about what people think. Our heads get in our way alot and make us believe things that are not true. Get out there and talk and if people don't hear you say it again:) People are understanding and if they not then move on. They don't deserve to be speaking with you:) If your a good person then you will soon enough attract good people. Just put yourself out there and stop being afraid of the world. No one out there is better then you:) Hope you have a great weekend mate:)

If you are using 5.4 then you can use both at the same time. If its not then you delete the rig add the motion capture but then you can bake that motion capture back onto the rig and then the rig will have the animation and you can keep animating the way you want. Hope this helps:) Here is a tutorial : th-cam.com/video/HgYCYyxgnSk/w-d-xo.html

@@imagineeverything I manage to have my character rig and my animation at the same time. But the problem is that only one of the two then works. Either the animation in the rig is shown or the one from the animation maximo

@@damnilfx5788 What version of unreal are you working with? Also when you want to swap between the two you need to tell it in the sequencer that this layer is off and this one takes over and visa versa. Key those instructions and you can use either.

Rooonnnn :) when are we doing the brush giveaway ? I hope your well mate. Let’s connect so we can do a sweet giveaway away to a few people. A vid just on Ron’s brushes :) stay well my friend :)

So I have a tutorial I did in Unreal once. I exported the Character in t Pose through the bridge. Once I had that I went back into Daz and did a ton of different poses and keyed them on the timeline. Once I had that I exported just the animation through the bridge and BAM. I could just slide to what pose I wanted on that character and duplicate it then slide that one to the pose I wanted and so forth. Here is that breakdown and I have time stamped it for you. th-cam.com/video/lpbUpkYdcO4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=DEKGFCMVBOAk5wfH&t=1330

Ha thank you mate. Yeeeee I tend to go way over the top I does:) lived there for 10 years and loved it:) maybe this can help FREE REALISTIC FX UE 5.4 (BEGINNER FRIENDLY QUICK VDB,s) th-cam.com/video/3uGig1D3Hj0/w-d-xo.html Let me know mate and I can try get into more depth if you have questions :) cheers

What do you mean. Are you not able to edit it? Is it greyed out. Can you give more details?

Yeah I dont think it has been updated. Ill search for this:) Thanks mate

Sup mate:) in all honesty I have no idea . Hierarchical materials and normal ones. I’m not to sure where the difference lies besides h. Materials cover multiple parts

@imagineeverything yeah, since H.materials takes the "normal" G9 surfaces that it might not understand the geografs surface!? Just speculation about all of this! The product seems, but I wish it would have more parts or perhaps head and body! Looks kinda weird having a zombie head and a normal body, I don't own the product so not sure what's it's includes other than what your video shows, but the eye "hole" grafs looks cool, not too fan of the mouth, I am on the lookout for a graf that covers the mouth so it kinda "removes" the mouth like the X-Men Origins: Wolverine version of Deadpool. Thought I saw one for G9 on the daz store a while ago but must have been something else!

Yeah . I guess I’ll play with it a lot more and see what it can potentially do. Give an update at some point :) stay well mate :)

Hey thank you mate:) Its always nice to see people enjoy them:) I appreciate it all
