Should it work with Blender 3.1 ? I'm getting the "appropriate fbx does not exist" message
Yes, it's been tested with Blender 2.83 LTS, Blender 2.93 LTS, Blender 3.0.1, 3.1.0, 3.1.2 and 3.2.0. All should work. Make sure that you are following the installation instructions and video above to Install the Blender Plugin. If you were using "Use Custom Import Path" in the Blender Plugin, you will need to disable that.
If it's still not working, try resetting Blender to Defaults:

Thanks, I've tried your suggestions but still getting the same message
Are you on Windows or Mac? Are you using OneDrive as your Documents folder? Do you have your home folder one another hard-drive?
Windows 10, no onedrive but my documents folder is on the D: drive
Ok got it. Copied the Daz folder from the D:documents to my "Users" Documents folder
Try this experimental blender plugin (attached zip). Instructions to install:
Cheers, that seems to have solved it :)
Thank you. That experimental plugin unfortunately has broken ToRigify functions, but I will incorporate the new custom "Documents" path functionallity in the next release.
OK, thanks! With the current release version, I'll just copy the files from the D:documents daz folder over to the user folder each time for now then ;-)
Did the location of the exports change with the new version? I'm using the addon on an older version of Blender (2.92) and had some issues after updating the plugin through Daz Central. When I use the addon in Blender, it still loads in an old export that was done before the upgrade. I can see the current exported character if I drill down in my documents folder, but Blender isn't importing that one.
I just can't tell where Blender might be importing from and I have so many FBX and OBJ files that I can't even search for what it might be pulling.
Please try this new version if your Documents folder is on another drive or a custom user home path: https://github.com/daz3d/DazToBlender/releases/tag/2022.1.10
This worked. I copied the new DLL to DAZ and still had the same result. Once I reinstalled the Blender plugin through the DAZ Blender export again, it worked. Thanks.

Hi everyone!
This bridge is making me really crazy now! No Scripts menu in Daz Studio. But "sent to..." from file available. But not importing my new charachter in Blende (3.2.0) keep importing an old character... Please Team make this happen again...
Sorry you're having trouble! I'm trying to make this information as visible and as easy to follow as possible, but maybe I'm not understanding how people use the Daz Forums, hehe.
Daz To Blender has been updated and is now accessed from the File->Send To menu.
You can find more information, instructions and tutorials to install and use the new bridge in the following places:
The main issue now s that it's onmy the same and old charachter that is imported to Blender. My new characters doesn't import.
Yeah.... Idk what happened but with the new updates, the environments tab is greyed out. Can't export environments with the bridge, only static mesh, animations, and skeletal mesh light up. Everything else is in grey and unclickable. How do I fix this? I have the environment loaded...
If you have your windows Documents folder on a different drive, in OneDrive or in a custom path, then this update may help you: https://github.com/daz3d/DazToBlender/releases
You need to manually install that fix for now, but we will try to get that posted to Daz Central as soon as we can. Thank you for your patience.
Sorry for the confusion. The environments option is currently disabled because we are still integrating it to use the new C++ framework. Only the actions mentioned in github documentation currently work: https://github.com/daz3d/DazToBlender (Static Mesh, Skeletal Mesh, Animations).
Please try the hotfix that I mentioned in my previous reply to you. I am hopeful that it will help you:
Yeah!! FINALLY!!!!! it works!! Ive try that before I reset my computer but did not work. I changed the exporting setting and maybe this what I was supposed to do!!
AMAZING!!
Thanks a lot for your help!
