[i am looking for] Advanced manual for Daz Studio

tagan

Is there an online manual for DazStudio advanced tools?
for example "Joint Edtor" "Geometry Editor" all the Geometry submenu (Convert to sub, triangulate, add level, texture atlas, etc.) rigging submenu, and all the other submenus?
How to use the d-Former to perfection .... etc.etc
..... there is so much to study on DazStudio to use it at its best!
aaaah ......... how to create a script!

Hi

there's some tutorials on the basics on youtube. 

Sickleyield has some more advanced tutorials circulating.

There are some more advanced tutorials in the store, for rigging and mapping etc.  And also some advanced tutorials on Daz's youtube channel, but they are unlisted so you have to google them.

 

I have found some of the daz documentation helpful for some things, even though it is outdated and incomplete.

There used to be a product in the store called The Comprehensive Guide to Rigging Tools in Daz Studo by Thomas Windar. It was documentation for the Joint Editor, Geometry Editor, Node Weight Brush, Figure Setup and Transfer Utility. It is a 145 page PDF doucment. Unfortunately, it is not in the store anymore.

There are quite a few useful tutorials made and published by members of the community. DAZ3d has also released some free tutorials. You can also get help from this forum. There is no central archive for all these tutorials, you have to search the internet.

There are also several tutorial sets sold at the DAZ Shop. I guess there is not much incentive for DAZ3d to make a free manual when they make money from selling tutorials.
