workingrocker

:) Hey everybody!...

   VERY new to DAZ3D and need to create some characters. As you probably know...when you first open DAZ..the setup iis blank. So do I need a plugin for character creation? How do we go about this?...

Get back to me,

Thanks!

Depends what you mean by "create".

Daz Studio uses the Genesis platform. Every generation (Genesis 3, Genesis 8, etc) uses the same polygonal model. Published Artists, the people who sell figures in the store, take that base model into other programs and create morphs (sculpting the shape of the model) and materials (different skins) to make different characters that they sell to you.

If that's what you mean by "create", all you need to do is export the base model as an obj, load it into Blender or whatever you use, and re-import it using Daz's Morph Loader Pro and/or creating materials with the texture maps you made.

On the other hand, you can also browse the Smart Content pane for those premade figures, hair, and clothing and load them into your scene. There are morph packages you can buy to give yourself more control over how your character looks. You dial morphs in via the sliders in the Properties pane.
