In Blender, install the DAZ Importer add-on.

In DAZ Studio, save the DAZ root paths.

Copy the Scripts folder from to_daz_studio to one of the DAZ directories.

Save the zip file somewhere on your computer.

The DAZ HD Morphs add-on was written by Xin.ĭonald Dade, for the Diffeo HD Exporter plugin for DAZ Studio. Xin, for his lucid explanations on coding and the Blender API, and for explaining how to use simple expressions for morph drivers. Translation from Iray to Cycles and Eevee is essentially Alessandro'sĮngetudouiti, for his suggestions in many areas, especially rigging and for the correct implementation of morphs with intermediate properties. In particular, I wantĪlessandro Padovani, for his expertise in materials and Blender in general. Starting with the latter.The code has been written by myself, this add-on has benefitted greatlyįrom bug reports and suggestions by many people. So it is one of the differences that you should just accept.Įarlier I have mentioned that we will also look at the Eevee and Filament, so let’s do that. In Blender, they are not as shiny and metallic. This is especially noticeable with shoulder pads and boots. Cycles render looks more vibrant and colorful, while Iray is more down-to-earth and realistic.Īnother thing to notice is that some materials do not match. In the end, they look different and that was to be expected. Look-wise I tried to match everything as well as I could.

Besides, Iray is infamous for its slow renders, so it is not a big surprise. But at least because Cycles can utilize both your CPU and GPU power at the same time makes it a faster rendering engine. It is very hard to say for sure, as I have already explained.

Overall, speed-wise I would say that Cycles is faster. Samples in Blender do not equal iterations in Daz Studio, you can’t compare them like that. You see, each rendering engine is unique. Even though 600 samples in Blender sounds like twice as much as 310 iterations in Daz Studio, this is not totally true. I tried to guess this to match the 10 minutes mark and almost got it right. You must decide how many samples you want before starting the render.
