Diffeomorphic How to import via script?

huntergeen

I'm going to make it automatically import blender after it detects an export from daz.

Sorry I have no idea I don't use the script api.

I don't script the plugin either, but there are some examples in this repo:

https://bitbucket.org/Diffeomorphic/daz-importer-scripts

In particular, the file easy_import.py contains an example on how to use easy import from a script. It works in Blender versions up to 4.1, presumably also in Blender 4.2 if the addon is a legacy addon. However, if you installed the addon from a  downloaded zip file, it becomes an extension, which is a new (mis-)feature of Blender 4.2. The script doesn't work then, because the import_daz module is not located in one of the python paths,. I'm not sure what to do with this.

Anyway, here is the easy_import script that works in Blender 4.1.:

#
#   Easy import Aiko using a script, and then pose her and set an expression.
#   Updated for version 1.7.0
#
import os
import bpy
import import_daz

relpath = "/scenes/aiko-basic-wear.duf"
abspaths = import_daz.get_absolute_paths([relpath])
print("Absolute paths: %s" % abspaths)
import_daz.set_selection(abspaths)

# Turn on silent mode
import_daz.set_silent_mode(True)

bpy.ops.daz.easy_import_daz(
   useExpressions = True,
   useJcms = True,
   clothesColor = (0,0,1,1.000),
   useTransferClothes = True,
   useMakePosable = True,
)
print("Loaded %s" % import_daz.get_selection())

# Load a pose
relpath = "/people/genesis 8 female/poses/base poses/base pose kneeling b.duf"
abspaths = import_daz.get_absolute_paths([relpath])
import_daz.set_selection(abspaths)
bpy.ops.daz.import_pose()
print("Loaded %s" % import_daz.get_selection())

# Set a morph
rig = bpy.context.object
rig["eCTRLTriumph"] = 0.8
# Need an update
import_daz.update_drivers(rig)

# Turn silent mode off again
import_daz.set_silent_mode(False)

The import_daz operators and functions are documented here:

• DAZ Importer Functions
• DAZ Importer Operators

These documents were generated some months ago, so there might be a slight difference with the current development version. But this is very minor.

@ThomasLarsson thanks Dev

It turned out that the combination of scripting and the newly introduced Blender extensions led to new challenges, but finally I think I figured out how to deal with it.

Is it still installed the same way in Blender 4.2?

Padone

No, in 4.2 it installs as extension.
