Please tutor?!

OK so if it's a part that makes up the G3 or G8 character then you just set the nod to hidden and the "base" character is exported with out that part. For example if you hide the left and right eye then the base is imported with out eyes. This way you can add the G3 or G8 Epic eye components instead to switch the eyes to using Epics pro eye materials. Added elements in Daz Studio like clothing can not be hidden and invisible to export of course as they can be deleted and instead imported into UE4 as a component. After that really need a context as to what it is you are trying to do.

I've yet to do it but the animation is exported to FBX so I don't see why not.

Yeah I plan on doing a deep dive. Lot's of hidden features

yeah how to export ANIMATION?!

it might even be legally not right to bring stuff into unreal as it goes agaisnt what the unreal liscense allows you to do

The Daz bridge is an Open Source project so is free to use as to practical application as well complies with Epic's fair use license. For that matter Unreal 4 is open to any license option except for GPL. www.daz3d.com/open-source As to other options is fair use licensing compliance is far to complex to describe in a RUclips post but is covered under the "Interactive License" fee extension that complies the use of an asset to the base use terms and conditions which includes the use of "rendered" elements with in a commercial product. At the very least both the G3 and G8 framework are covered under the open source terms and conditions of the Daz to UE4 bridge as both assets are included as part of the base plugin install. For our project we only need to make use of the G3 framework as we make our own character models and had long ago licensed it's use when the Daz Original license extension was available. True with the base install one is only able to make use of "rendered" element in their own project, commercial or not, how ever the license can be extended via the purchase of a license extension as decided by the individual merchant

@@frankiev3735 i asked daz himself if i bought a character if id be able to use it in a game of animated movie and he said no and explained its cause they make the characters and keep the control of ip its bridge can be all manner a free the assets are not for commercial use

www.daz3d.com/eula The section I'm referring to is sub section 3.0 Interactive License Addendum as to what is refereed to as CRT Content (raw assets purchased via the Daz3D market place) that by license extension the asset can be provided for "use". It is true that you "can not" make use of a CRT asset in this manner with out paying for the extension fee. If you are looking to make a "movie" using Unreal as a rendering platform then it's use for the purpose of "rendering" only complies with the basic fair use terms and conditions with the understanding that you can not make the project available that includes the "CRT" source files or to make the "CRT" source available in raw form as an export . Since I don't know the form of your original question to Daz3D I assume that there was a miss understanding on their part as to the intent of the question as well the interactive addendum is a recent addition that has replaced the general Daz3D Indy License extension. If you want to use a CRT the you just buy the extension which should also included the 3D printing extension>Bottom line Daz3D has an extension fee for most anything they sell

@@frankiev3735 so if i buy an asset i can use it in a cinematic short or maybe even a game? cause it was told only for personal use which would preclude unreal engine and youtube..ill have to go do a read and see if thats changed ina few years then neato it was a cool system

Pro tip : you can watch series on flixzone. Been using it for watching loads of movies lately.

@Bodhi Misael Definitely, been watching on flixzone} for years myself :)

Well the Panini effect is not an implantation but a material effect. If using the 1st person template select the materials that make up the visible weapon, including the arms and for each material visible to the camera add a MF_PaniniProjection to the World Position Off set. You hands a weapon should now be planer to the near plane and not project forward For our use we added a switch so the a version of the same material can be used for both 1st and 3rd person

@@frankiev3735 "mf_paniniprojection" - this would be a material function from Unreal Tournament DevKit, yes? This one? blueprintue.com/blueprint/bmvkxxcf/

@@frankiev3735 Got it working (MF_1stPersonVertexShader from UT DevKit).

@@Cpt.Tripps Thanks for the heads up. Tried to track it down but was going to post the funvtion some place.

You will have to explain to me by what you mean as speaking keys. As to animation in general yes animation keys are exported via the "send to" and Unreal 4 will generate the necessary working asset files. You get excellent fidelity of the materials, animation, physics assets, as well as the resources to make use of JCM's. Things that could be better is dForce support and hair shaders but as a staring point a very good start. Feel free to ask more questions here forums.unrealengine.com/development-discussion/content-creation/1809514-daz-to-unreal-4-bridge-in-action Also Daz3D "has" support for Unreal 4 www.daz3d.com/forums/categories/unreal-discussion Which says a lot ;)

Animations required for lip synch.

Well to kit up with the basics it's free for Daz Studio and the Genesis base framework. Think of it as dress up Barbie where you can buy additional assets as to functionality or even make usable additions. Bottom line to get started the cost is zero and up size as to what you need or want. Be warned though it can become an addiction.

@@frankiev3735 Thanks for the reply!

I do plan on doing a much more fuller overview as a jump start kind of thing using different configurations but this is what I started with ruclips.net/video/LdwjUBhLZOA/видео.html

Well as luck would have it UE4 now has AutoLOD for skeletal meshes

@@frankiev3735 My game is a third-person shooter and I'm using FOV 70, which gets the camera near to the player pawn (one of the player characters is a woman in skirts). But, yeah! For other characters, AutoLOD is useful :)
