DTL Free

DTL Free is a tool for converting and optimising Daz Genesis 8 / 8.1 figures for Unreal Engine 5.x using Maya 2023 / 2024

Current version is 1.108 (released 22/2/2024)

The conversion process replaces the existing skeleton with one optimised for Unreal Engine, merges all the meshes, recreates morphs at a specified subdivision level and produces a set of high quality custom JCMs optimised for engines that employ linear skinning

Once converted, the figure is game-ready and can be imported directly into any game engine

The figure can also be further edited using Maya / Blender / any DCC application that handles clean, well formed fbx files containing skinned models

The documentation for DTL is here

The Unreal Engine demo projects are here

There is a Discord channel for support and general discussion here and a post in the Daz3D forums here

The next version of DTL (DTL Pro) is currently in development. Improvements include:

100% Unreal Engine compatible skeleton (see here)

Morph driven bone transforms (enable realtime character changes and other morphs that adjust joint positions)

Genesis 9 support

The first version of DTL Pro is scheduled for the end of March 2024
