DAZ studio rigging differences

WendyLuvsCatz

I can easily use some products in Carrara by converting in DAZ studio to Blended weights

Sixus 1 Mantisaran being an example.

Others if triax of course work out the box

yet others like the Blind demon cannot be loaded at all

I would love some answers on this and what the differences are as I really want to use new content in Carrara like I can Genesis 3 now,

I am assuming the ones that do not work need extra editing like Misty did to the Genesis 3 character files but her workflow was removed from the forum so sadly I cannot reference it.

Does DAZ want Carrara users to buy stuff? I want to buy stuff and do but its just so hard and they are so silent on the issues, I am trying to work around them but am like a blind person with a stick trying to get a view of an elaborate room.

I want to know what I can do, edit in the duf file etc to make things work, there are products to do this by Dimension 3D and the duf format supposed to be user editable if not encrypted according to the documentation centre too, its not reverse engineering of software its user facing files.

So why are Carrara users being kept in the dark and does any one know anything that can help?

The file format is described here, which I suspect you have seen http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/dson_spec/start Beyond that I'm not sure what you are asking - if you want to switch a model to a different rigging system, with the inevitable loss of features and chaneg in behaviour, that';s going to be a matter of judging what trade-offs work in any aprticular case and is not soemthing Daz is likely to support as an official method since it does involve feature loss/change.

well so does FBX export, obj export etc

So I am baffled as to why altering weighting methods to work in Carrara is any different.

Likewise converting to triax and exporting a cr2 which works for Poser and is equally unsupported here except by user effort.

I can indeed by changing the rigging get some stuff to work in Carrara that otherwise does not, thats my point, I want to know what on earth is different about the stuff I cannot.

Works out the box in Carrara 8.5

so yes I want to know what is different about the figures that do not like the Blind Demon.
