MDD Import

Enchanted April

Currently I made my first animation. I created a dress in Marvelous Designer for G8F. In Daz I putted together an animation of aniBlocks for the girl and exported it via MDD in MD. So far so good. But then it became difficult. How to bring the animated dress back to Daz? Finally I found a 5years! old tutorial by Jay Versluis what said I have to export it as obj sequence. I did and it worked but for my 1min animation it created 1256 obj's - a huge amount of disc space. And all of them just to create morphs to simulate the animation. Marvelous Designer has MDD export - but Daz has no import. Maybe someone knows a more modern methode for the transfer but if there isn't one I would like to get that MDD import or even better a bridge to MD AND back. Bridges seem to have an economic boom in these days ;)  In times where we are planning to fly to the Mars it should be possible - I hope...

well, you can delete the objs after you import them as morphs so not sure this is such a big issue, even if the workflow of importing the morphs and loading them to frames isnt very streamlined.

Alternatively, wonder if not better to do your final render in another application that can work with the alembic outputs from Marvelous Designer and Daz.  E.g., Blender?

@lilweep Thank you and of course I could - if I could ;) I'm not so familiar with another applications as I am with DazStudio. And I deleted all the obj's after finishing the work and there is ever a solution for a problem. But often you have to jump around three corners... So I think it would be more elegant to go just over a bridge, wouldn't it?
