thanks for this script.

but i am getting white eye other then everything is textured.anyone know how to fix

I got the same problem until soneone on Deviantart suggest not using iRay material. So I made a test with non iRay material and now I got quite normal eyes. I need to fix iris because they are too dark and there is no transparency.

This is really a great script !!!!!!!!!!! Thanks to the creator !

thaks for reply but i found other solution that work for me

anyone having same problem  in cycles render engin setting feature set to suported fixed eye for me

I'm not getting the correct output for scene.blend for some reason... any thoughts? The script does output the OBJ but I can't do anything else other than that...

How would I check if the module is installed properly?

 

edit: Ah yes, checked the log and it says that it can't find the mcjblendbot module, hmm.

edit2: strange, I had to install it manually from zip for some reason... at least it's installed now :)

edit3: okay, now that i have it running... everything is magenta? what's going on? :( narrowed it down to textures not being collected.. hmm.

@mCasual Will you add the export option for rendering using the radeon prorender?

it's real to convert DAZ PBR maps to cycles material using this script? or only by hand?

because color map it's just past century

animation transfer also not working(

mCasual

i know nothing ( except what i saw in google a moment ago ) about PBR maps

i hope to update teleblender this summer

notably for that real-time preview mode in Blender and the what's the word shader ... principled

 

unrelated image

note that the stl importer only works on stl files that use simple statements

Have you seen the Diffeomorphic Blender importer by Thomas Larsson? 

http://diffeomorphic.blogspot.com/p/daz-importer-version-13.html

I believe his code is open so you could, perhaps, cooperate in some areas if it would be beneficial?

'I have a question about this ... I mean: I'm trying to make clothing animations, where there is no problem if we talk about render or 2D. I use the script "GeoSender" from Mr.Casual, but the indexing results as "X1.obj" and then, until the ninth, as "x9.obj". Then, we have the 2-digit decimals, up to frame 99. And, then, the "x100, x999.obj". They are not panned as "x00001" to "x01000". There is no logical sequence to load, in order of name, in "Morph Loader Pro". I do sequences of explanation from frame 0 to frame 9, with a prefix "Fliename.0000", followed by those of 2 decimals, with "Filename.000", etc.. Tedious and boring, but it does it. Well, but now that "object" is not animated if I do not load a script called "AnimMorph".
My destination is not render, but webGL formats, such as glTF (ascii or binary glb ..).
So as prop, the clothes are useless, because they remain in the first frame. I assign it to the "hip" parent of the person-model, genesisx, etc ... and yes, I can already make it a figure. But when exporting it to Blender, or Maya, like .fbx, I only get an animated file without respecting the different variations of the .obj, but something flat that moves, but far from the physical simulation offered by "dynamic clothing" in Daz.
The same goes for Marvelous designer. Both export in alembic, mdd or ps2, or in Maya, as a cache.
Can someone help me in this matter?

mCasual

Just now i updated my free script to export an animated scene as a series of nunbered obj files
https://sites.google.com/site/mcasualsdazscripts/mcjgeosender

it will now zero-pad those numbers with 4 zeros which will let scripts/apps like 
https://sites.google.com/site/mcasualsdazscripts2/mcjobjstomorphingprop

... convert them into a morphing object which can then be animated just like the original

Thank you. I am going to try.! :D

I sincerely appreciate your review of the script. I guess it was a couple of letters in the code, but it saves me a lot of time.
On "mcjObjsToMorphingProp", it only loads the first .obj, and the morphs, but in the animation, there is only the first .obj. It is not a question of a different scale. I think Daz's "Morph Loader Pro" works better ...
This only happens with dynamic clothing. In the same way, when you export, for example, genesis 3 with those clothes, to Fbx format, genesis is brutally deformed. I solve it with two fbx.
My case is quite particular, since I transfer from Daz to Blender to generate the glTF file, and there is no way to correctly accept the geometry, apart from a file size of about 100/200 Mb, totally unusable on the web with Three. js, etc ...
Anyway, thanks again. I'll tell you when I do the tests.

mCasual

the animation above this post was done with mcjObjsToMorphingProp

you load frame000.obj

then mcjObjsToMorphingProp imports the 105 other objs as morphs into the frame000 object

then there's a button to animate the 105 morphs one after the other

i simulated the cloth ising DynCreator at 100fps

then i rendered the animation at 30fps

Hi mCausal - any chance we will see a Daz to Blender (with ProRender) scene export script?

mCasual

 i'll look into that very soon, since daz rolled out iRay, i dont render much in Blender-cycles,

i dont know proRender yet but i'll look into that

tonight i released a new old car prop ! maybe i'll use it for render tests, if by 'hardware agnostic' they mean non-radeon cards are supported \

mCasual

good news / less good news

after using the cycles to prorender ( i didnt read the error messages )

i was able to render on my nvidia card in GPU mode

but the texture images didnt work

but her hair has colors so it works

but when i will modify teleblender i'll make it generate prorender node trees not cycles, or i'll use those

.this would be great

mCasual

Coming Up Soon !

support for Radeon proRender

demonstration renders coming sooner than soon

that's an iRay Render tho

Milo

sweet I am starting my b LEARNING and since I Have a mac with a nice Radeon in there :) 

nicstt

this would be cool, cause just might get a AMD radeon pro then

progress report

The future is eeveedent mcjTeleBlender Blender2.80

workin on mcjTeleBlender for Daz Studio For Blender 2.80 ( eevee ! ) that's a cycles render, contrary to previous versions, we'll let the Blender obj importer create the node-tree-materials, then a python script will adjust the materials for the extra parameters that are not included in .obj and .mtl files

i tried to launch Blender from Daz Studio, but they broke a feature .... i think as a result of changing the UI to QT or something. because i get messages like "QPixmap: Must construct a QApplication before a QPaintDevice" which seems to be related to the absence of a console screen when Blender is remotely launched

but but my mcjTeleBlender Daz Script produces batch files, which can be launched "manually", and it launches Blender, which runs an mcjTeleBlender Python script, which loads the .obj/.mtl files that were exported by mcjTeleBlender, then that scrip can adjust materials and add lights and environment spheres and cameras that are exactly like your Daz Studio cameras, same position and orientation

This is it!!   I am happy to buy you a coffee again ..I'd go as far as adding a nice vanilla slice but am still pretty broke

working on mcjTeleBlender for Daz Studio for Blender 2.80

i have the foolish hope of posting a beta tonight

here i'm working on distant Lights in Daz Studio which are SUN lights in Blender 2.80

there's POINT lights and SPOT lights

and AREA lights i think will become ... something emissive

( the horse is an old png iRay render ... to make the image fall in the Digital Art / 3-Dimensional Art / Characters / Female category)

.. Looking forward to trying this Casual..

Python script fail. look for console for now.

 if you start blender  using the .bat file that was created in your /Volumes/home/iron/Desktop/ folder, then you will see detailed error messages by the python script

blender 2.80 eevee render

i never used eevee ( well maybe i did in 2018 was it? ) so ... anyway i found the "Blend alpha" setting to make the cornea crystalline instead of you know, scary white

Dean_2026310

If you open The Render Settings and check 'Refraction' and then under material select 'Alpha Clip' on the appropriate materials you'll get transparency on eyelashes and hair.

A cool tutorial.. Not by me.

mCasual

so gar when i import the scene in Cycles mode 

and i switch to eevee, amd i change the Materials/settings/blendmode from its default value of "opaque" to AlphaBlend or Alpha clip, i get the desired result ( hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, corneas )

i plan to automate this, not sure if i'll have to do the import in eevie mode

===========

daz studio (frozen) scene rendered in blender eevie i may attempt to export via fbx instead of obj but last time i tried ( in 2013 or 2015 ) it had scary results that almost traumatized Gabrielle, but she's battle hardened

and so ends the weekend of July 20th 2019

here you can see, the opacities work, the colored diffuse maps ( diffuse color multiplied by the diffuse map ) work 

and the texture tilings work

the release this week of teleblender this week should support RPR (i think) Cycles and EEVEE
