Unreal Engine Asset – Daz To Unreal

A free version of this plugin should be available soon, check back for an announcement.

Daz To Unreal is a pair of plugins (one for Daz Studio, one for the Unreal Engine) that helps transfer assets from Daz Studio to the Unreal Engine. The system can be used to transfer characters, props, and animations. Character support is primarily for Genesis 3 and Genesis 8 characters.

Each character or prop is organized into its own folder in the Content Browser with subfolders for its Textures and Material Instances. Materials Instances are created for each Surface in Daz Studio. The Material Instances are based on a handful of Materials included with the plugin, but these can be overridden in the settings to use your own Materials. A shared Material Function is used to connect most of the parameters in the included Materials, so making project wide changes to the Materials is simple.
