HEAT and Diffeo

Has anyone tried Studio to Blender via Diffeo and applied the new HEAT animations via the Blender Plug-in?

    If you can save the HEAT animation as animated pose file (.Duf)  it would seem that the "import action"  feature of Diffeo would work.

    I can confirm HEAT will work as a duf animation. However HEAT seems a limited time offer just for users to test it out, since we already have Mixamo for free I don't see why HEAT does any good.

    I was thinking of applying the HEAT animation after it was in Blender. Oddly, under Linux Blender, the animation download stops at 91%. Under WINE, Blender downloads fine.

    @Padone
    They promise a new variety of animations.
     

    Also For Daz Studio users the HEAT plugin appears to do the retargeting to G9-8 within Daz studio.
    Right now the only ways to get Mixamo motions onto a genesis 8 figure is the apply it to a G1-2 and convert it to a G8-9 yourself with this free plugin.

    ....or buy this $18 Dollar third Party solution to get ALL of mixamo onto G9 inside Daz studio devil

    it seems to me many people have no interest in having to involve G1-2 
    in their workflow so direct use of the HEAT motions in Daz studio might be an option 
    assuming you want to pay $765 per year to access them for commercial use.

    Another option is to use the BVH retargeter by Thomas.

    I need to retry moving a character from Studio to Blender for animating. It's been quite some time.

    Does it export accurate BVH back to Daz studio for G8-9?

    @wolf359 I don't see why not, BVH is baked FK animation so you should be able to export it back to daz with the pose preset tool as usual.
