You might need to make an educated guess as to whcih file to use based on the file names. A normals map creates depth and height for light and shadow to play on. Step 4A – Models typically have a few different maps, which is a sign of quality. Step 4A – locate and use the materials that come with the model if the model has them. Here is how to add the materials and maps that came with the model. Step 4A Using The Materials And Maps With The Object – Under the surfaces, tab go to the editor. You can at this point use your own saved materials and maps, or use the ones provided with the model. You can check the scene menu to find your imported item if the important was successful or not. Step 3, the 3d item is now imported into the program and it is scaled to the program. Step 3, adjusting the scale and size metrics of the imported model. On the “From” menu on the import option menu, select the Daz Studio measurement option. Without observing the differences in scaling you can end up with items so huge it freezes your computer, or so small they cant be seen. Each of the 3d programs on the market have their own measurement systems, and when taking an object from 1 program to the next you need to be aware of this.

Step 1 – Download your 3d object of choice, and unzip it and place it on your drive. obj file formats are rather common and by many regarded as the ‘go-to’ default 3d file format that works well in many different 3d programs. There are of course many other file formats out there. On those sites you will typically encounter these 3d file formats. My four favorite resources for free models are Sketchfab, CGTrader, Renderosity, and Model Haven. It’s worth noting that rigged figures sometimes have issues moving between programs, so don’t be surprised to fine the bones of a rigged model have “exploded” and the model needs to be rigged in the program you want to work in. The most common universal 3D files most of us will encounter are. However, Daz can import a large selection of file format types. However since there are many different programs that can make 3d models, there are many different kinds of file formats. There are many great free 3d model resources online.
