Need some help importing animations from blender

kiloechonov3337

Decided to give animation a spin and after giving up with Daz's system with autokeyframes and weird IK behaviour, I decided to give blender a try to animate. I used several methods to try and bring the rig properly.

First was using Khalibloo's addon for blender here -> https://bitbucket.org/Khalibloo/khalibloo-panel and trying to animate and bring the bvh back in. That obviously did not turn out well, with the bones being grossly incorrect.

Next was the normal .dae import and subsequent export of a bvh animation. when I exported, I ended up with the bones being renamed. Is this normal? Why is that?

Third, I tried just exporting a .bvh, which came out funky with the whole model just floating in mid-air for some reason

Fourth was via magicman's plugin https://3dnewimage.com/genesis-3-tool-for-blender/

I've tried all attempts with both G2F and G3F and honestly am kinda confused on what is going on. Would appreciate some advice.

it feels like as soon as I leave the Daz environment/software, getting back in seems impossible.

I never get anything to work in Blender, still can't even import a usable FBX ;)

Anyway, both of those recreate a rig in Blender as far as I can tell, and if that is the case the exported bvh from Blender may no longer be compatible with the rig in DS, did you make sure all settings was correct when you exported files from DS ? (Collada I think they said for Khalibloo), if you get any setting wrong it will often fail and can be very picky.

If you follow the instructions as specified on the website it should work I would guess, as I said, I never ever get any Blender import things to work except OBJ files.

I am not sure the idea of any of these is to be able to get anything back into DS again, maybe just to get it out of DS and into Blender.

Note: Blender is very very very picky about versions, make sure you use the recommended or latest version of Blender if t they don't specify any.

I don't use Blender so I am just guessing here, maybe the authers of the Khalibloo panel or genesis-3-tools-for-blender can give you some help or if they have a forum.

tbh, everything that gets to blender and works never gets back into Daz after that. I'm kinda lost on creating a workflow for me to create animations in another program and importing it into daz.
