I finally finished the latest tutorial I've been working on. What was supposed to be a quick tutorial on a few tips for preparing to sculpt on Genesis 3 Figures inside ZBrush turned into a full on, step by step guide to creating morphs, with or without ZBrush (I don't cover specifics of modeling). After I wrote the tips for ZBrush, it occurred to me that they probably wouldn't do people much good if they didn't know how to get meshes back and forth between programs, configure morph settings, and save morph assets...
And so, the project evolved into what I'm calling a Learning Path: Creating Characters and Morphs for Daz 3D Figures Using ZBrush & GoZ.
Oh yeah, I'm planning on making video version of the tutorials at some point. Stay tuned...
Here's the introduction from my website:
And so, the project evolved into what I'm calling a Learning Path: Creating Characters and Morphs for Daz 3D Figures Using ZBrush & GoZ.
Oh yeah, I'm planning on making video version of the tutorials at some point. Stay tuned...
Here's the introduction from my website:
In this step by step tutorial I go over the technical aspects of how to create characters and morphs for Daz Studio figures.
I cover:
- How to properly export meshes out of Daz Studio for morph creation using GoZ.
- The basics of when to, and when not to, Reverse Deformations.
- How I like to prepare Genesis 3 figures for sculpting using groups, masks, layers and Dynamic Subdiv.
- GoZ and Morph Loader Pro settings when sending meshes back to Daz Studio.
- How to create new morphs, update existing morphs and reverse deformations out of morphs.
- How to configure morphs inside Daz Studio and change their presentation.
- And finally, how to save your morphs so they’ll be available every time you open Daz Studio.
The first 3 parts of this learning path are specific to ZBrush. I go over how to use GoZ to handle transferring meshes back and forth between Daz Studio and Zbrush. And, a few tips to hopefully make your sculpting experience easier and more productive.
I also have step by step tutorials on how to export meshes out of Daz Studio as an .obj so you can create morphs in your modeling application of choice, and then how to import the meshes back into Daz Studio with Morph Loader Pro to create morphs out of them.
I would like to point out, you can also use these same techniques to create custom morphs for clothing, hair, and props!
I put a lot of effort into trying to make this tutorial comprehensive, yet concise, with the goal of creating a solid tutorial that’s easy to follow. If you notice anything that doesn’t make sense, is unclear, any typos, or have any suggestions, I would truly appreciate it if you let me know! E-mail me at Landon@LayLo3D.com.
Thanks, and lets get started!
Just in case you missed it, here's another link to the tutorial: Creating Characters and Morphs for Daz 3D Figures Using ZBrush & GoZ.
I hope you enjoy my tutorial and learn something new from it! Let me know what you think of it!!!
Mixamojo - Daz Studio Mixamo Animation Retargeting
I'd like to introduce one of my latest products for Daz Studio, Mixamojo! We are currently doing a prerelease sale offer while we finish the final touches and creating promos. Check it out here: https://www.laylo3d.com/shop/ Mixamjo is a set of scripts for retargeting and using Mixamo animations with Daz 3D Genesis 3 and Genesis 8 Characters! Now you can easily use the thousands of animations in the Mixamo library with your favorite characters. Using the scripts you can retarget any Mixamo animation directly to a Genesis 3, or Genesis 8 character right inside Daz Studio. Simply download your favorite animation, import it into Daz Studio, run the script, and watch your character come to life! Then you can save the animation as a Pose Preset and start to link multiple animations together for more complex animations.

LayLo3D Pose Library for Maya - Now Available!
Now you can use Daz 3D poses directly in Maya and save HumanIK poses to use them again later! I'd like to introduce my LayLo3D Pose Library for Maya. My Pose Library creates a user interface in Maya for both your Genesis 3 and Genesis 8 Male and Female poses. It automatically finds your Daz 3D content libraries and pulls the poses from their corresponding folders. It's compatible with HumanIK (HIK) and doesn't require the use of any specific HIK definition to work properly. It includes a HIK calibration tool to figure out your custom HIK definition and then work accordingly. It automatically converts pose from Genesis 3 to Genesis 8 and from Genesis 8 to Genesis 3. It has a built in "Pose Mixer" feature that allows you to right click on a pose in it's library and select which limb from the preset you would like to take the pose information from and apply it to your characters corresponding limb. It includes a "Custom HumanIK" pose library allowing you to save your own HIK poses
Genesis 3 for Maya - Now Available!
Well it's official, Genesis 3 for Maya is now available! Actually it's been available for about a week now. Apparently I'm late to my own party... What can I say, I have a lot of stuff going...
Currently only available in my Gumroad store: https://gumroad.com/l/g3_for_maya/intro10off
Genesis 3 for Maya has all the same great features as Genesis 8 for Maya and fully supports all the Daz Original Core characters.
The features include:
Configures Joint Controlled Morphs (JCMs) for all Daz 3D Original Core characters, both male and females (JCMs clean up ugly joint deformations beyond what is capable with just weight maps).
Only exports the
There will be a Genesis 3 for Maya!
I'm excited to announce that there will be a Genesis 3 for Maya!
Now available! Check it out in my Gumroad store:
https://gumroad.com/l/g3_for_maya/intro10off
As Daz3D is not interested in brokering it (because it doesn't support the latest generation figures), it will only be available through my channels.
I've already started on getting it together and should have it available within the next few days.
It will have all the same great features as Genesis 8 for Maya and I will maintain both of them together.
Stay tuned.
