Extract single Figure from Scene (DSON)

Hi Guys,

Is there a tool available to extract a single figure from a DSON-File without opening the complete scene-file in DAZ-Studio? I have a lot of very complex scene files (*.duf) and sometimes I only need one or two single figures and it's very boring to load the whole scene because this takes a lot of time.

I found the DSON-Editor: https://www.daz3d.com/dson-editor. But I'm not able to figure out, if this tool is able to do this extraction.

 

Thx in advance, Peter

    Not that I am aware of. it might be scriptable, using the JSON methods to turn the .duf fiel into data and triming it down, but I'm not aware that anyone has done that.

    Thx for the answer, Richard.

    I have analyzed a scene file with a JSON-Viewer and come to the conclusion that this is completely crap. An arbitrary heap of objects. Mostly flat in undefinable order and relations.

    With that in mind, it does not surprise me that loading a scene takes so long laugh

    There is documentation for the format here http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/dson_spec/start

    Okay - that makes really sense. Very useful!

    With this reference I should be able to program an external tool for this purpose.

    Thank you very much. smiley
