Renderotica

Hi everyone, Im trying to exporte a female model g8 with the gonden genitalia in colladae and Fbx, but in both cases the model is exporting fine but genitlas doesn't have weight paints and and it's not in the right position either.... It's a bit fustrating because Im working with blender. Any help is very welcome! Thanks!!

The Only way I know of getting grafts like Golden Palace into Blender is via the Diffeomorphic Importer for Blender.

Ok. I will tested it and  comment, in anyway thank so much!!!

I'm not sure there. It would largely depend on if it is looking for the .mdl file or the .duf location. 

C:\Program Files\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio4\shaders\iray\daz_3d\irayubermaterial.mdl 

If it is looking for the .duf file it should be under the Daz Uber Folder in the Content Library (I would help more but I've customized my Content Folder a bit so I'm not sure where the default location is, but it should be either under shaders or shader presets)

My guess would be it needs to know where the .mdl file is, though I could be wrong.

Diffeormorphic pluggin is the salvation!!

It is, indeed.  It works pretty well to export geografts, including Golden Palace and Breastacular (or both together, even), to Blender.  I use it cross-platform: I run Daz Studio under VMWare Player, on Linux, export the file to a shared folder, for both host & guest OS's, and then load it up on Linux, in Blender.  It works even that way, too. 

I've noticed that if you export to HD, then all of the geografts on the figure are merged into the mesh.  This is really the best way to do things, at least if you have the hardware to deal with the higher res mesh.  There's more detail preserved in the skin, too.  Now with G8.1F, there should be even better details.  I have yet to render a G8.1F figure in Blender, though.  Also I found out that my older approach to texture nodes, using a 3-Layer SSS shader, isn't really good for Daz figures.  Sadly, it seems like an inappropriate method to render them, and the results are usually lackluster at best, and sometimes acceptable, but it's still very difficult to get photorealism, which is what I am after.  There are alternatives, though, discussed on some threads at Daz3d:
