Update 2024-April-24:

  • Uploaded Unreal Project Plugin binaries that are built for UE 5.4.0
  • No source code changes made
  • To Install: Make sure all other versions of this plugin are removed from the project folder and the engine plugins folders. Then unzip DazToUnreal.2023.1.2-UE54-win64-project-plugin.zip into your UE 5.4 project plugins folder, ex: \UnrealProject_for_UE54\plugins\DazToUnreal\
  • If you are having trouble loading the plugin, you may need to manually enable the MLDeformer plugin, please see issue #79 for details

Known Issues:

  • Sending Animations and Poses from Daz Studio to UE 5.3 is currently not working, resulting in Fbx import failure or editor crash.
  • When exporting morphs with Genesis 9 figures, all currently installed character morphs matching the same morph name will be loaded and exported; leading to increased time, space and memory requirements. For installations with very large number of G9 characters, this may lead to excessive RAM requirements and crashes. The current work-around is to decrease the number of installed G9 characters or decrease the number of exported morphs. A fix is on the way.
  • Some JCMs with multiple joint axis dependencies may not automatically load into memory and export correctly. The current work-around is to load them manually into memory by posing the joint until the JCM is activated, then resetting the character and exporting. A fix is on the way.

Hotfixes:

  • Initial release with UE 5.3 support was built with 5.3 Preview instead of 5.3 Release, now fixed
  • Daz Studio and Unreal Engine plugin versions are now synchronized

What's new in the 2023.1.2 release:

  • Unreal Engine 5.3 support
  • Integration with latest Daz Bridge Library
  • Support for automatic Unreal Engine LOD generation
  • Genesis 8 twist bone fix for the UE 5.2+ IKRetargeter
  • Re-Import Crash Protection Code
