Hi ,

 

I've tried DAZ export many times but failed. The error msg is : "he Genesis OBJ file does not appear correct. Pleasse ensure you have followed he exprot instructions and selected the correct fil.
I have DAZ Studio 4.0 installed and I load the K4 figure.

Could you please send me the correct base mesh obj (for example K4 obj) to do a test.

By the way can I export the DAZ figure as the base mesh obj from POSER in case export base mesh from DAZ failure. 

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Peter

Hi Peter,

In reference to your first message, please note that Exporter DG is
only for the Daz Genesis mesh, it will not work with other meshes.

In reference to your second message, perhaps your Daz Studio 4 library
is in a non-standard location. Please download and try the latest
version (1.2) which can handle non-standard DS4 library locations.

Best wishes,

You need to locate your DS4 default content library path and set it using the instructions below.

To locate the path, look for the sub-path:

data/DAZ 3D/Genesis/Base/Genesis.dsf

Which resides in your DS4 default content library path.

I don't understand how to configure facegen exporter with Daz studio, I realy don't understand what works wrong:
I hava the OS Windows 64 and all the last free versions of DAZ, facegen modeler and exporter, and I did the following instruction but it still don't work:

How do I tell Exporter where my Daz Studio default data directory is ?

Find the file:

/Users/USERNAME/AppData/Roaming/DAZ 3D/dzInstall.ini

Then edit the file to change the value of the tag:

dzStudio4DefaultContent

For example:

dzStudio4DefaultContent=E:/DirOnMyUSBDrive/

Do not include the sub-path this WON'T WORK:

dzStudio4DefaultContent=E:/DirOnMyUSBDrive/data/DAZ 3D/Genesis/Base/Genesis.dsf

could you please help me, I very pressed by the time, I have project in which I will intergrate my 3D face and I want to export a .obj head by usind facegen exporter and Daz studio 4.6
thank you in advance

Hello Belloul,

Can you post what's in your 'dzInstall.ini' file ?

Best wishes,

 

[BELLOUL GAYA]

Hi,

         the 'dzInstall.ini' contains :
***************************
[ContentPath]
dzContentLastDir=C:\Users\aflis\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio3/content
dzStudioContentLastDir=C:\Users\aflis\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio3/content

dzStudio4DefaultContent=J:/DirOnMyUSBDrive/
[ApplicationPath]
dzStudio3InstallDir=C:\Program Files (x86)\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio3

dzStudio4InstallDir-64=C:\Program Files\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio4
[InstalledApplications]
dzStudioInstalls=dzStudio4InstallDir-64
[InstalledApplicationKeys]
dzStudio4AppData=C:\Users\aflis\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D\Studio4
dzStudio4RunOnce=C:\Users\aflis\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D\Studio4\RunOnce
dzStudio4MappedContent=HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\DAZ\Studio4
**************************

the install path of DAZ Studio is : C:\Program Files\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio4

and the install path of facegen is : C:\Program Files (x86)\FaceGen\Exporter DG Demo 1

I have also created another installation of facegen exporter in my flash drive as explained in this link : http://www.facegen.com/exporterManual.htm

could the problem come from the fact that I am using a 64bit Daz view application and a 32bit facegen exporter??

Thanks in advance.
Gaya.

Hello Gaya,

It looks like you copied the directory direct from the online manual without putting your own path in.
