Introduction

This is the first piece of my Studio to Blender Bridge Tools

History

version 5 Dec 21 2014 there is now a "scale" setting for cases where the scene was exported ( using mcjTeleBlender for example ) with a non-standard scale

version 4 Jun 26, 2013 same issue fixing as version 3 ... i suspect we reverted to version 2 at some point

version 3 Dec 22, 2013 changed change-frame operand which did not work with blender 2.69

Version 2 Feb 14, 2013 Changed the Blender/Studio scaling factor from 50 to 100

Version 1 Dec 17, 2011 release

Installation

the zip file containing the script for DS 1&2 and the script for DS 3 & 4

can be found in the attachments section at the bottom of this page

unzip it, preferably in your Daz Content folder, in the scripts folder

typically :C:\program files\daz\studio\content\scripts

once installed it will be in your library browser, in studio/scripts/mcasual

Use

Select an animated camera in Daz Studio

Launch the mcjExportCamToBlender script

Specify the range of frames ( by default, the current playrange is selected )

Using the "Export" button, select a destination folder and a name for the file that will be created, example : c:\testCamAnimation.py

you can close Daz Studio

Most often the scenes exported using mcjTeleBlender use a scale of 1 %

But if you exported the scene using a different scale

There is now (since dec 2014 ) the opportunity to export your animated cameras with the same scale

in Blender, create and select a new camera or select the default camera

in the Timeline panel, set the current frame to your liking

in the Text Editor panel, do Text / Open text Block

browse up to and select the file created previously ( ex: c:\testCamAnimation.py )

click the "Run Script" button

it's done for Blender

Tip about exporting .obj from Daz Studio to Blender

When the .obj export panel opens

select the preset named "Poser"

set the Scale to 1 % ( daz studio incorrectly states this as 2% )

Why not use the "Blender" preset?

because it will flip your scene and make it difficult to work with
