Exporting Daz3D to Blender

This link, which describes how to do it on a Mac, was actually more helpful:

First, you’ll need to grab the script from the mcjTeleblender2 script page.

Unzip this file in your Daz Studio content folder. On a typical Windows PC that’s C:\program Files\Daz\Studio\Content

The content was in a “mcasual” directory. I put mine at: C:\Users\dan\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D\Studio4\scripts

Running from within Daz3D

After installation, there is a one-time setup, which is to “Scan known directories for files…” which is available on a menu on the left side.

From within Daz3D (I have 4.8), with a scene visible, you run this script by doing this:

  • Open the scene
  • On the lower left, click the tab “Content Library”
  • Type “teleblend” in the search window
  • Double-click mcjTeleBlender3

This creates an OBJ file and materials in the directory you specify within the panel.

Importing from Blender

An alternate way of getting the content is to find the scene.py file, created by the Daz3D step, opening this file with the Blender Text Editor, then running the script. When I did this, I got an error on the first line,

import mcjBlendBot

indicating that the mcjBlendBot “class” was not available, so I copied the PY files correctly to solve this problem (as shown in the next section). Now it runs in Blender, both from the Text Editor, and automatically launching Blender from Daz3D.

Launching Blender Automatically with content

Running the mcjTeleBlender3 panel in Daz3D is supposed to create the Blender version, and then cause Blender to open with the content.

I had not properly installed the mcjBlendBot.zip content. I opened the zip, then copied the content to: C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.77\scripts\modules. Now from Daz3D it will open Blender with the scene inside.
