Importing Vroid characters in Daz

taiuri

Hi!

I'd like to import Vroid characters into Daz, but I can't figure out how to do it.

I tried to convert them to .pmx and then import them into Daz, but they don't do it correctly. That's why I think it'd be better if I export directly from Vroid to Daz, but I don't know how to do it.

I hope you can help me, guys!

I doubt there is a direct way to do it. Like any other figures, you usually have to import as .OBJ and then rerig it in DS.

I got to convert them into .pmx thanks to a Unity converter there's easily available. And I get to open it successfully in MMD and PMX Editor, like I show in the 2 screencap.

However the problem is in Daz, where I need it.

I can import MMD models to Daz thanks to a script is available too, and it works good, except in Vroid converted models.

I suspect the problem is with the textures. Like you can see in the first screencap, in the Surfaces tab, choosing the eyeline element, the diffuse color has the texture, but also a color 113, 41, 41 which is the one is causing the issue. 

So, I need that color is transparent, but I can't figure out how to do it. If I choose the white color, the round is white, when I need it transparent.

Do you know how to get the round color is transparent? I think if I get to solve that, it can be loaded correctly in Daz Studio.

I hope yoy can help me, guys!

The texture is probably in a format that has an alpha channel.  Its native program can use the alpha channel directly but Studio needs it to be extracted as a separate opacity map.

That could be possible. And do you know how can I extract it?

You have to use photoshop or some other editor to make the opacity map. You have to remove the color, then turn the brightness/contrast all the way up to make the visible parts white. Then add a new layer and make this layer black, and underneath the 1st layer. That 's it, save it as png or jpg and plug this into the opacity channel.

You may have other issues, BTW. Those models are built in a different way than Daz models are. Kind of hard to explain, but this can cause the models to look blockier than in their native software.
