    Quick update: I made a full in depth version of this video that covers all the steps in more detail if you're interested (link in bio). Also if you don't want to spend hours making your own character models, you can visit my website to purchase my pack of 3D character models (link in bio). Thank you for all your support - Sal

    Could you possibly create a video tutorial or provide an explanation on how to export Avatar, complete with skin textures and motion animations created within MD, from Marvelous Designer to Blender? Additionally, could you also explain how to export animated garments? I think this would be very helpful for many of us!

There are people who use this software or might even want to buy it and give it a try so this demonstration could be very useful to those kinds of people.

    you dont need face gen to do this you could have just used the plug in for da to import face and it does the same thisng without the other site, then you can import it into blender with face shapes included, you would be able to use them as sliders or keyframe them to a facial mocap, the rest of the tutorial is good. but cutting that other site would save time and energy in your workflow, and having face shapes in the character already aswell

      -Should I
      1. export from Daz 3d and rig the body and face using rig-GNS
      2. Fully edit the character
      3. Add animations using Rokoko/mixamo
      4. add clothing and shoes
      5. create background
      6. Export full animation
