Is there a way to enable the bone limits included in the base Daz to Blender Bridge rig? This seems like it could really speed up the animation process, but it's currently way too easy to break the rig when moving or rotating without those limits in place.
@seto007 Currently, Rig-GNS doesn't utilize bone limits. I understand having bone limits provides a safeguard against unintentional rig breakage during movements. Rest assured, I'll take this into consideration for future releases. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Hi, I am lately trying to use daz in mmy pipeline with Blender and zbrush. I found this export rig video is very helpful. I just wonder how can I adjust daz character proportion manually such as shoulder and hip width? in shape option I can adjust scale but that seems to messed up body shape too much. Any idea how can do that in daz?
I'm glad you found the export rig video helpful! Regarding your question about adjusting Daz character proportions manually, I'm afraid I haven't spent much time exploring that aspect. However, I can suggest some channels or resources that might be helpful in that regard. Please feel free to reach out to me at 22722studios@gmail.com, and I'll be happy to share those with you.

Hi, I bought this today and started messing around with it, and I gotta say, it's a very amazing tool I did come across one issue tho, I made an animation that moves the character's hips around in place, and while doing this in blender the feet are planted to the ground as expected, however when I imported it to Daz Studio, the feet are constantly moving around with the hips instead of locking in place like in Blender, and the character looks like they're rotating in mid-air. Do you know how I can fix this? Thanks.
Thank you for reaching out! I'm glad you're enjoying the tool. It seems like the issue you're facing might be because the animation was not baked for Daz before exporting. Use the 'Bake' button in the Animixa panel to bake for Daz after creating your keyframe animation in Blender before exporting. Give it a try and let me know if that resolves the issue. If you have any further questions or encounter any challenges, feel free to reach out to me at 22722studios@gmail.com
Hi your content is really helpful. I have a question I imported daz figure using diffeomorphic and converted the rig to rigify so is there a way for me to convert it into gns rig?
OMG, you did it. I suggested this a few weeks ago and now it is here. Your addon is untouchable now, miles ahead of the competition. Now more Diffy realism with animation…it’s on now LOL…Kudos broooooooo
Hey can you help me with that issue that I posted in another comment I'm getting ready to feature you hopefully in my creating a sitcom in blender series I'm just putting the final touches on the 1st episode now and I really like to be able to tell people that you could add Mixamo animations with one click in Blender and help u make sales
@@22722studios I downloaded a simple walking animation it says walking x bot above the preview window when I import in blender normally it comes in fine when I import using the plug-in it's all distorted an outplace I'm also using blender 3.5
Sorry. The only other possible option is animations from Daz studio. But please let me know what animation you will to like so see compatible with the add-on and I will see if I can get it done. Thanks for your support.
@@22722studios Hey just found your add on and I'm so happy to have done so! I've been trying to get a relatively painless workflow to animate daz characters for animated shorts in UE5. Jumping in this thread to see if you'd consider adding support for Actorcore from Reallusion. They have a HUGE library of really good quality mocap I think it's better than mixamo more options/variety. Would be a great addition thanks for your efforts!
I BUY THE ADDON work perfectly BUT I NEED INCLUDE Newfemale GENITALi@ IN BODY and then dont work. After Merge the Geograft to the body. Also if i Rig first Before Work perfectly But then cant Merge the Female genit@ls to the mesh. i am using diffeomorphic.
I have a question, why after I import the character from daz to blender using Diffeomorphic, the character's clothing bones are separate from the body bones. According to what you did in your video, I get an error in the rig figure, KeyError sometimes is that I can't find WGT-rig_shoulder in the collection, sometimes can't find anything else. Blender Version is 3.1. If you know how to do，please let me know！Thanks😢
SELECT GENESIS RIG THEN USING "A" SELECT OTHER RIGS BOSDY AND THEN IN diffeomorphic. TAB SEACH CORRECTION - MERGE RIGS Normally we want to join all armatures which control both the character and all clothes. The Merge Rigs button merges all selected rigs to the active one. If the imported scene consists of a single character, the main character rig is the active one and the clothes rigs are selected, so we can just press the button. THEN CAN USE Rig GNS
When I import my character as an FBX the hair is always detached and at my character's feet? Any idea what could be causing this? Also with the same character if I import it as a duf file the hair is attached, but when I rig the character, its facial rig is above its head.

Hi brother. Your tutorials are very interesting and it helps us to progress in our work. Above all, your Rig Gns addon is very interesting and easy to use since you can easily apply mixamo meshes and others.. the only option missing is to connect it with a face motion capture program such as FaceCap or Live. link face who . If you manage to add this option it will be a huge help for us as Rig GNS is already a big giant step in the industry. When will you add this face motion capture option to us please?
I'm thrilled to hear that you find Rig-GNS helpful, and I appreciate your kind words about the tutorials. Connecting the addon with face motion capture programs like FaceCap is a fantastic suggestion, and it's definitely on my radar. I'm committed to enhancing Rig-GNS, and I'll prioritize adding the face motion capture option in a future update. While I can't provide an exact date, please stay tuned for announcements, and I'll do my best to make it happen as soon as possible. Thanks again for your support.
Hate to see that anyway. Once this is done I commit to promoting the GNS rig to my freelancer friends thank you too, and I will stay glued to your page to be up to date@@22722studios
Hello brother, you are well I hope. We are still waiting for facial motion capture options such as facecap, facemotion3d integrated into Rig GNS to enjoy 😇. We're counting on you

Sorry I wasn't able to reply sooner. I will advice you download the Mixamo animation without skin. And in blender, ensure to have all objects as children of the main armature using Ctrl P before commencing rigging. Let me know if that helps. Thank you so much for your support. I really appreciate it.
Do you get JCMs (Daz's corrective morphs) with this?

You can only convert the diffeomorphic armature to GNS and then use the Rigging Buttons to rig the figure with Rigify.
