I'm hoping someone can tell me the likely timing for a daz export with facial animation. It would be of great help if I know that if an export has not completed in a few minutes that I should abort. (I'm hoping for a quick answer as I know this is about 3dx and is not a Daz forum).

I purchased the Facial Animation pack a little over a week ago and armed with the facial DUF files for both Gen 1 and Gen2 characters (Thanks @rcsinger for this great gen2 resource!). So far I'm not having much luck.

To cut a long story short, I'm having a dickens of a time getting my FBX exports to work. I've been getting memory access errors in the DAZ log which seems to be more related, I'm guessing, to the props I'm trying to load, on my characters rather than the characters themselves. It happens whether or not I try and load the facial animation duf file. (I'm also being careful to make sure that I use matched gen1 character/prop/animation duf and gen2/gen2 props/gen2 animation duf files).

I'm working with Gen2 'female bot' and Gen1 'bot genesis'

Trying with completely different characters - loaded with different clothing/prop items, I'm finding that the exports with facial morphs is taking forever .. So long in fact that in one case I left it going overnight and it still hadn't finished the next morning (but it WAS progressing thoughbeit slowly).

Yet, if I take a naked character and do a straight export. .. it works fine.
If I take a naked character with facial morphs/animation .. it works fine. (no more than a minute or two though I didn't progress through 3dx to prove it out fully).

I've been trying to do some research on the daz forums and so have ensured that I have base resolution selected. I've also ensured that the division checkbox is NOT selected. - I've even tried decimating the characters prior to export... which didn't seem to do anything other than stuffing up their mesh.

I think I'm loading the right character/clothing/prop combinations.

Sorry if this is a bit basic but Daz is as new to me as iclone and so Im a little overwhelmed atm. .. I'm now assuming its going to take a fair bit of time to work this one out and it will help me no end if I know when I should abort an export job if it is taking too long.

Sorry if this is way too much of a daz issue to be uttered here.
