Importing DAZ Studio Character Poses to Character Creator

The DAZ Studio library provides static Pose templates (single frame) that can be applied to characters. If different Pose templates are applied at different points in time, poses can be used to create animations rather than just static poses. Whether they are static poses or animations created from poses, both can be imported into Character Creator through the capabilities of the FBX format and the features provided by Character Creator.

If you want to import animation clips from DAZ Studio into Character Creator, please refer to the Importing DAZ Studio Character Animations to Character Creator section Importing Animations to Character Creator..

** Notice that you are allowed to apply various poses at different timeframes within the project range to create pose animation.
