Is there a Daz3D to Houdini importer?

raincolee

I googled for a while but all threads I've found are pretty outdated or never finished. Daz3D can export FBX, but this way it's like throwing all advantages of Daz out of the window. Ideally, there should be a way to import Daz3D's model/rig/JCMs as Houdini KineFX rig + Blend Shapes SOP, so we can basically have a "Genesis 8 in Houdini".

Does such a tool exist?

I wish. A few attempts were made, as far as I know all were abandoned though.

Looks like it's not getting updates tho... (and for some reason the mod keeps deleting my reply on that thread

Bumps get deleted. Arguably the whole therad is a bump, since you had already found the existing threads, so I am locking and sinking it.
