Installing diffeo-HD

diffeo-HD is a plugin by Donald Dade to export HD scenes from DAZ Studio to Blender which is bundled with the DAZ Exporter. This will need DAZ studio, Blender and the diffeomorphic plugin to work. Below it's the official discussion.

Installation

Copy the diffeo.dll plugin in the daz studio plugin folder, it should be as below.

C:\Program Files\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio4\plugins

Usage

In daz studio use the plugin menu as below. This will export a dbz file for the daz scene at the current viewport resolution. The exported dbz file can be loaded with the diffeomorphic plugin.

edit > diffeomorphic daz importer

Known issues

The plugin doesn't work fine with the daz studio geometry editor. That is, be sure to be out of the geometry editor before using the plugin. Otherwise, if this happens by accident, restart daz studio to reset the scene. The plugin doesn't work fine with geografts and shells, so it is mainly useful to import scenes rather than figures.

Please note that diffeomorphic is perfectly capable of importing HD, including geografts and shells. The plugin by Donald is a c++ version much faster than the standard daz studio script provided by diffeomorphic.
