You need to be aware of your subdivision level when you export. ....You need to apply the smooth modifier in DAZ and go to subdivision level 1.


Just for clarity the smoothing modifier does smooth the geometry a bit, but serves as a way to prevent pokethrough when attached to the host figure. In all honestly a model you create yourself shouldn't depend on this too heavily and should look smooth without it.

If you use the hexagon bridge daz automatically sets the model to base resolution before sending it over. If you are exporting yourself then yes, you need to set the figure to base resolution if you have applied sub-d in daz otherwise you are going to quadruple the poly count.

Depending on the density of the mesh sub-d shouldn't even be needed. Based on the geometry I see in the screenshots I wonder if something else is at play.

I've noticed that it has a tendency to try to eat RAM for a while, then eventually settles down


Since Hexagon is bad with textures anyway, I work in wireframe mode and it utilizes far less ram this way. Once you display textures, the ram utilization will shoot up and eventually you will hit the 3gb limit. But yeah that 64bit fix is the first thing I install after I install hexagon.

Its myriad issues are likely why zBrush was embraced by many users and vendors, though a lot of them do still swear by Hexagon. Personal preference, I suppose.

Yeah Hexagon is a modeler and Zbrush is a sculpting tool so they work very differently. A lot of people who work in zbrush start elsewhere(to model) and send it to zbrush for detailing. But there are people who do all their work in Zbrush too.

For many programs, it can be unstable, for Hexagon, it makes it function for me (on Windows 7 64 bit). I know the info is in the Daz forums somewhere for it, likely near the top of the list in most lists of fixes. If it's crashing shortly after opening, that may be part of your issue.

You are thinking of LAA (Large Address Aware).

The level of knowledge available here is wonderful :D

Thank you all for your reminders of file names and suggestions.

In an effort to not derail the render thread any further, here is a random one I threw together of my main toon and companion because I found the standard loading screen for SWToR boring. Not particularly skillfully done, and I need to work on modeling my own outfits at some point, but it did the job for now. (I do not own any copyright for Star Wars characters or anything, it's just fan art for my own use).

Just so you know, I still need to figure out how Materials, Lights, and Cameras work, but I'm clearly an export. :D

I did find this plugin relatively idiot proof and forgiving.

Thanks... I'm getting better however slowly... I'm finding this very forgiving to play with.

Newb Lesson 1 finished. Opacity, normals, simple skin.

Nice job! I find the interface easy to work with, but it crashes too often for me to get very sophisticated. Not sure what you are doing right. I'll agree, you are the expert. Where in the world did you get that psycho character?
