Hi I have been having problems with getting the bones right when I import the daz v4 or m4 skeleton into 3dxchange. I have tried loads of tutorials but still the same problem that I can't seem to keep all the spine attached at the same time. it either parts at the skull or down further. Even when it looks attached I see some drifting in the animation testing. Has anyone had any success here. I am wondering if the rigging is somehow different to the other characters.
The process I am using is to export out of daz3d 4.8 as a binary fbx file (i have tried different year versions) then importing into 3dxchange 6.2 as a non standard character, the selecting the daz3d preset. I then try to manually correct the bone problems using the character setup tab (N). Any help would be great, I have been going around in circles for ages.
Thanks

As far I remember, 3dXchange supported Genesis 1 and later Genesis 2.
You may use M3 / M4 body morph on Genesis and then import.

I wondered if that might be a good idea the moment I posted it I've had another go which seems better but the neck still hinges as you can see here.

Ah good,  a video still better

Thanks I will try that again. I did mess with that but I seemed to make things even worse.
Just another simple question. I see when you click apply to iclone the character lands up in iclone but how do you save the character in a format that you can then import into any iclone scene?
Thanks

Under FILE / EXPORT, export as an iClone iAvatar, which is the default export format (not OBJ)

Thanks CaseClosed, although your name gave me a fright
Every time I try the remapping thing I get what you can see in this video. Some of the spine that starts seperating. I am probably mapping the wrong bits to the wrong bones but it is difficult to tell which. Like there are nine 10 options in the neck but there are only 7 cervical vertebrae. Also when I try and map c1 to c4 it reports that those bones are heroically linked to the head so cannot be mapped to the neck. I have tried to zoom in and move around so perhaps you can see what I have done, but I know that it is probably hard to figure out, sorry.
thanks


Getting used to this video bit so please tell me if it would help to see something else
