I want an artist to make a character

Richard Haseltine

You need to give more information - a character for a figure like Genesis 8.1 Male/Female or a stand-alone? Are you wanting a 3D model or finished art work? How is it going to be used (that will affect both what is needed and who is going to be willing to take the task on)? Is this for a fee or are you wanting a freebie? Are you wanting an original design given some kind of brief, or a version of an existing character design?

Well... a lot of artists do make characters... so technically, you got what you wanted, but it's been that way for quite a while.

I generally prefer to not hijack anyones' thread, but for the sake of example AND I also am looking to hire someone for:

What I need is someone to:
1.)  Outfit a G8M with Wizard Apprentice Outfit or dForce Shrouded Assassin Outfit, fit Adrian Hair and Beard (or similar) and Tongue Control HD, and one prop to the model.   
2.)  Either decimate within DAZ or run it through Blender to accomplish preferably just under 20k polygon count, or 30k if it just looks poorly.
3.)  Import into Unity 2019.4.31.
4.)  Verify the visemes are connected, the prop has it's animation functioning, and whatever makes the tongue control do it's thing.
5.)  Successfully upload to VRChat for Quest.

Unfortunately the license does not allow someone to give you the decimated version, or to give you a version of the content converted to another format.

Interesting, but okay.  Alternatively, I can buy the aforementioned items from the DAZ store, and allow a remote control of my computer with DAZ 4.20, Blender 3.01, and Unity so they can walk me through the process all the same.  that ok?

ahhh, crumbucket.  VRChat doesn't support the number of bones in G8M... G1M yes though.

Even if it supported it, I'm not sure the license would allow uploading a model derived from Daz content to VRChat, even with the interactive license.

@bhofman67 do you know about this one (readyplayer.me) ? If I`m remember correctly it possible to edit the mesh in Blender and sent back to UNITY or Unreal

It should be possible to hire modellers or texture artists to make adjustment . Using that solution might be save you unnecessary steps and headache to make DAZ character compatible with your projects   

EDIT : Check the EULA/TOS , from what I`ve been reading it seem you cant have actual IP using that one . Try ask their CS

via quite a bit of experimenting, i have discovered the following:

Genesis3
polygon:  33656
bones:  172
materials:  17

Genesis2
polygon:  42162
bones:  80
materials:  28

Genesis
polygon:  37744
bones:  72
materials:  26

Yes, i'm aware of RPM, that's where I started my avatar journey but my needs have gone well beyond it's abilities at this point.
