Software

From Poser and Daz Free Resources

This is the list of free software that is usable with (or during) the 3D-art creation process. When we get enough entries in a particular group, we'll create a sub-page for the group, the way we have with Scripts. The list on DAZ Forums here and here needs to be reviewed and new stuff added to this list.

Eye & Jaw Morph Fixer for Face Morphs
The Eye & Jaw Morph Fixer will correct warped morphs exported from tools such as FaceGen Artist or HeadShop for Daz Studio 4.x. Tools like FaceGen Artist or HeadShop can create realistic face morphs, but they may warp the eyes, jaw, and tongue in the process. This tool will zero out the morph deltas for the eyes, jaw, and tongue, so they are no longer warped. The tool also keeps the original scale and centers of each eye. This tool is free! (Windows 32/64-bit)

Full Body Morph Fixer
The Full Body Morph Fixer is a morph reset tool that can reset specific parts of a morph back to its original shape. More specifically, this tool can reset specific parts of a morph, either assigned by poly group or by poly material, by zeroing out their morph vertex deltas. Now works with other types of base characters, such as animals. Made for Daz Studio 4.x.

Objaction Scaler 3c
Objaction Scaler is a Windows tool which facilitates the transfer of .obj files between Poser and other 3D packages such as Studio Max and RDS5. Objects within Poser are much smaller than in other 3D packages, by a factor of around a thousand or so. This can lead to problems either with minuscule objects in Max and RDS5, or brobdingnagian objects in Poser. In either case bizarre results can arise when editing or manipulating the objects. The use of Objaction to either reduce or enlarge the object prior to transfer eliminates these problems.

RTEncoderPy for Mac
https://en.freedownloadmanager.org/Mac-OS/RTEncoderPy-FREE.html
Symmetry Morph Tool
The Symmetry Morph Tool can remove asymmetry from a Genesis character morph, by mirroring morph vertex deltas, from one side to the other. Poly groups and poly materials can be used to filter out specific vertices for mirroring. Tools, such as Daz Studio's Face Transfer, does not have any options to remove asymmetry from it face morphs, so this tool can be used to correct it. Made for Daz Studio 4.x.
