Good idea for a batch import for crowds.. .you can make easy crowd creation possible...

Issue #1325 wontfix
Joe Morris @ FAST Animation Studio Toolz created an issue

1 Import all DUF in a folder with the settings you specify during the import … Easy import Daz of course

2.5 Disable all but the 1st character collection In the viewport… then on first collection…

2 Select rig… Merge rigs is pretty secure so I don't see too much of an issue there as long as you don't get too crazy with building your character in daz… Advertise that before you use this when building your character in daz its just character hair and clothes because this is a crowd background character… So merge Rigs …which would stay auto selected in this case as it currently is….. Would go through without a hitch

3. Import one action from A non CSV list of pose presets (just one per line save clicks)

Upon import of action rename it to the name of the pose preset DUF

If you can add toulouse hair.. Like daz does so it totally fits on the character do it here cuz hair slows down viewport but toulouse is ok…and disable the original hair in Render and viewport…. Or to make it even easier maybe move into a collection called “hide hair” and disable that in viewport and in render

Disable 1st collection in viewport and enable 2nd collection in view port and repeat

Maybe some daz genius can make a companion script to speed up The daz parts of character creation…

Maybe find some way to use a dap of Maybe find some way to adaptive subdivision or apply a decimate modifier to each one upon import…. Just if it's a Genesis 8 apply the amount of decimation that you deem is good for most Genesis 8s and same for Genesis 8 1

Use blender normal groups add on…on Each character as you bring them in so you don't have to renable them all later to apply it… Maybe get permission from the guys that created it… To use it's optimized Evee normal map nodes in your code… it's free anyways… I'm gonna send him a message and tell him I'm just writing some sort of add on right now and see if it's OK if I do that and I'll report back what he says… I've gotten 24 fps on a Genesis 8 in evee render mode with that

    wontfix…that's cool…I just updated Extreme PBR with my addon…it adds a patch to Extreme PBR so u can add any mat(textures.com building facades!)to your userLibrary…

    As a result I'm hyped…I'll just add the ideas you don't want to my addon…

    Universal nudge like Daz for all sliders is next!
