DAZ Studio Collada exporting in Marvelous Designer 3

edited December 1969 in Daz Studio Discussion

I have read some of the forum comments regarding DAZ Studio not being able to export into Marvelous Designer 3 but they were a year old. I have tried several different ways of importing a collada figure (Genesis 2 male) into MD3 with no luck at all. Is it a no go? It would be a shame because it would be a deal breaker for me to invest in these figures since V4 and M4 move so easily into MD from Poser. Tell me something I want to hear! Thanks. Denise

    Sorry, Denise! I have not been able to import a Daz Collada figure successfully into MD3 either. The figure goes in with messed up textures then acts as if it is 25g (meaning that MD takes forever to move it). Luckily, I had a V4 Collada saved from a year ago and used her. Then found that MD3 has a bug that messes with animation exported as objects so not it can't be brought back into DS anymore with. I had high hopes to be able to use them together but those hopes were dashed some time ago!

    Thank you, Jaebea. That's a real shame. I hope the creators of DAZ Studio are watching the this thread.

    Hi dvitola! When you export the figure from Daz Studio - select Collada, then when the popup appears select Generic Collada, then import into MD3 :)

    Thank you 3dLust. Unfortunately, MD3 returns an error on that setting too.

    That's weird - it's working for me - in MD3 are you doing File/Import/Collada/Load as Avatar?

    I have tried Generic Collada and just Generic. Load as Avatar. I have only applied the sliders to give the character a little muscle and that's it. What customizations are selecting for export?

    Here are some screen captures - I dialed some Bodybuilder to add definition, then Imported to MD3.

    I do hope you get it to work :) Do you have the latest version of MD3? I'm using 1.4.0.7014.

    Thanks for this. Yes, I have the same version and am exporting and importing exactly like this. It says that MD has failed to import. Could it be because I'm on a MAC? It shouldn't have any differences but for the life of me, I can't get it to accept the collada. Very frustrating. Thanks for your help, though.

    Ah, it probably is the mac version - you should report the bug on the MD website :)

    I know that this is really late, but I was having the same problem using my PC.  The fix was exporting my Collada file from my PC and importing it into my MAC.  I guess that's not technically a fix, but more of a workaround.

    I was told by the MD folks that the Collada that DAZ uses is not Open Collada and that's why it will not work in MD. Denise
