A while back, I found a set of scripts called "DSF Tools" for Blender created by "Millighost" that let you import geometry, morphs, and UVSets from DAZ and export morphs. I found them in an archived forum thread here, but I can't find any further information about the scripts. They do not appear to be publicly available currently and Millighost (so far) hasn't replied to my inquiries through Renderosity.

Does anybody know Millighost? I've updated the scripts in a few ways and would like to share my changes. I also, however, don't want to do anything that goes against the wishes of the original author. The changes I've made so far:

• Added support for the compressed .dsf format in 4.5
• Added the ability to import multiple morph or UVSet files at once
• Some various bug fixes and changes to support 2.64 and to make the script more fault tolerant
• I've begun working on an armature and pose importer for scene files. This will allow you to import poses and armatures from the .duf file. Currently, the armature import is complete and I'm working on the pose import.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like these changes, so if anyone knows the original author, I'd appreciate passing the word along to him or her.

Thanks!

He/She comes in here quite often but if there anywhere near NY it might be a wait

Ahh! That's a very good point that didn't even occur to me. Thanks! I'll keep them to myself for a little while longer, then and hope he/she responds.

A few threads down is that original thread. Someone bumped it up last week. http://www.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/showthread.php?thread_id=2834649

Click on Millighosts name and click Contact link. You can send a PM.

Weird. I wonder why the search didn't bring it up for me? Anyway, I've already sent a PM, so let's hope he replies. I've nearly go the pose and armature import done. Just something a little off with the the bone matrices that I need to figure out (I think the DAZ file might contain world transforms instead of local or parent space transforms). Other than that, it's working, and I'd love to be able to contribute back my changes if Millighost is willing.

Wow FigureSculptor, if you can get those scripts running I'll be real pleased.

Are you going to post them here or put them in the store?

They're posted in the main thread. There's also an updated from Millighost and there's
some overlap between them. 

You can find them both here:
