OK thank you so much I missed that one
Yea, Iāve been using Daz for 6+ years as well as Diffeomorphic add-on in Blender. Actually I use Fast menu from time to time but it depends on what Iām gonna work onā¦ so I frequently swith the mode in b/t Fast menu and Blender menu, then I found that little bugā¦ No problem, thanks! Looking forward to the fixā¦
OK I got it fixed and uploaded the update now you donāt even have to save preferences when you change this setting itāll stay saved even if you force close blender right after or it crashesā¦
Another programmer made this functionality but he was busy so I had to fix it so I fixed it so if thereās any other issues the turn around time will be way quicker on this now because I know it nowā¦
And just to note Iām here 16 hours a day you need anything about this addon just send a message and Iāll get to it right awayā¦ And Thank You Very Much for being a Valued Customer!!
Iām sorry I just noticed this commentā¦
I really made the diffiemorphic part a lot better you should try it out I really made a lot of big informative tool tipsā¦ Iāll make a video on it tomorrow so itās clear but basically you just save a genesis 8 character and your DBZ file to the diffeomorphic_save folder in FAST INSTALL FOLDER and your animation to the pose folder inside it and then open up blender and check monitor on the fast diffeomorphic panel and
it will import it automatically .and merge rigs and import whatever morphs that you selected on the panel and add anim and parent it to an emptyā¦MIMIC works!..got check visemes(or facs on 8.1)I
'm still testing this Iām gonna test this more tomorrow and try and make a video within the next couple of days as Iām currently fixing some green edges around the images on the fast keyā¦
but just note the tool tips are packed with information on every related function and the console has a lot of awesome information too I made it a lot better but itās not fully tested so Iāll be testing it if you have any feedback and you wanna put here that would just help me moreā¦
Diffeomorphic has an API now so weāre gonna be making like everything really streamlined and like take as many button clicks out of their processes and chances of error as possibleā¦ Diffeomorphic really is the best thing to ever happen to blender besides blender itself which is geniusā¦ Note if you wanna use any of diffeomorphic API functionality itās already to go in FAST to write scripts with itā¦ just call import_daz in the text editor in blenderā¦
Oh and to use any functionality you just gotta click the diffeomorphic button in fast add-on preferences that installs the add-on you will know itās installed because youāll see an * next to diffeomorphic on the button and you donāt even have to restart blender after you install it ā¦I donāt think itās been working for meā¦
You probably know more about diffeomorphic than I do so any tips or advice or any extra functionality you want just let me know and Iāll add itā¦ Also came up with a nice dark theme as well on the latest updateā¦ Also any any ideas on the fast menu let me knowā¦any way i can impove it
Yeah, now it works well! Many thanks for the quick update!
Iām so glad youāre happy with the updateā¦FYI I got instructions for Diffeomorphic posted on documentation tab of blender marketā¦so you knowā¦ Itās such a treat to import a Character with animations from Daz Studioā¦ anyways you need anything you notice any issue about the add on or would like to request functionality iām here 16 hours a day.
I updated the version for times in Preferences, to 5.4.0. Afte restart Blender, it still always shows 5.3.8ā¦ Iām using Blender 3.6ā¦ Pls check.
Now it shows update availabel to 5.3.9 other than 5.4.0 ? !
Iām working on that right now I should have it done by the end of the night
Thanks for letting me know by the way Iāll get these taken care of quicker iām making a super strong test process Iāve written special software for my test process. so these errors wont happen in futureā¦fixed a major diffeomorphic import issueā¦ Today please let me know if you have any issues at all with this functionality and notice there are paths where you could add temporary daz asset libraries for the functionality to useā¦ on the FAST panel in 5.4.0 coming toniteā¦ Those paths revert to whatever you had set in diffeomorphic Global settings after the characters imported
let me know if you have any issues at all and Iāll stay on it tomorrow till itās fixedā¦ Iāll be testing it and upgrading it anyways tomorrowā¦
Now the update works and the version was successfully updated. Thanks for the quick response!
Happy toā¦ the functionality of this add on is my top priority, remember if you click issues I do offer phone support too to make sure we could get things done as soon as possible and Iām also gonna start providing patches if I could get those to you quicker than an update iāll e-mail you a patchā¦ likely if itās an error Iāll know exactly what it is,
Thanks a lot! but I sitll found an issue: with the add-on activated, the launch of Blender turns slow now (nearly 15 seconds)ā¦ If I deactivate the add-on, the launch speed is pretty quick as usual (in 4-5 seconds). So can it be optimized ?
OK Iām working on that right now actually iām finishing up a new auto save feature and Iāll do everything I can but keep in mind this add on has over 20,000 lines of code in it and thatās a big part of the reason why itās taking so longā¦ If you count the libraries that it imports it has over three million lines of codeā¦As youāre probably already a happy user of the add on you know how much stuff Iām adding to this iām making this into a real serious thingā¦ Day by day itās getting stronger and to compare it I opened up adobe premiere pro software which if you donāt know itās really high level video editing software they use in the Hollywood industry and I tested it and that takes about 11 or 12 seconds so Iām trying to stay right around there but I will optimize this as much as I can and keep you posted about thatā¦ If you have any questions at all please feel free to click ISSUES as that might be a little bit easier than going to blender artistsā¦ And any hitches at all is to the operability because I just made a lot of changes that are coming in this coming update so any hitches at all we do offer phone supportā¦
TBH, I donāt really mind about that speedā¦ If I open Adobe Substance Painter or Photoshop (I donāt have Premiere), it nearly takes 25 - 30 secondsā¦ though I have a pretty robust PC. I just wondered if there would be any chance to make your add-on even optimizedā¦ Thanks for your attention.
BTW, I got the add-on from gumroad and got the coupon code just from youā¦
OK Yeah it doesnāt matter about coupon codes at all you know any customer you know I put at the top of the list you know itās my mission to make this as good as possible now I gotta finish up a couple other parts of my update and then but shouldnāt take that long today and then Iām gonna start analyzing and see how I could optimize the startup I know because when youāre starting Blender youāre so excited and any way to make that less would be awesome
Nice! Many thanks in advance!
OK just so you know Iām gonna keep an eye on the startup times and might end up hiring a coding specialist to analyze it and come up with some sort of genius way to implement faster startup time I agree with you it would be nice if when we started up the FAST add-on it would take the standard blender 4 seconds start up time
Thanks for letting me know Iām working on that error right now I should have it uploaded by the end of the day
And just a quick note I appreciate you using the DIFFEOMORPHIC functionality and have the intention to keep it top notch so if you ever notice any issues at all no matter what it is as far as this not working as intended or you wish it would work better then feel free to send me a message and Iāll start working on it right away and get the update to you before you know itā¦ Iām in the process of getting this add on listed on the Daz Studio store I think itās gonna be like the first Blender add-on to be on there so any help at all in that regard as far as reporting issues would be a big helpā¦ A new update is coming within the next couple of days thatāll improve the merging of rigs for some charactersā¦ And I have cleaned up the panel quite a bit so you know Iāve been busy in the last couple weeks creating a new auto save feature for the add on so thatās coming as wellā¦ When itās all said and done, using the FAST add-on youāll be able to be at the helm of three awesome autosave systemsā¦ I created the FAST version to be crash proof and Iām currently testing that functionality.
Yea, Iām a Diffeo user as well, and so far so goodā¦ Sure thing ~ I will let you know if thereās any issue.
