DAZ Clothing Workflow

In DAZ select G8 character and export to Blender

In Blender import the G8 character

Model clothing and assign one material for each texture

Generate UVs and create an element ID map (via TexTools), save the map

Ensure UVs are mapped correctly

Flatten the model to one material only

Export as plain FBX (selected clothing model only)

Import model in Quixel

Import Material ID

As first test to ensure normals are mapped correctly, create a paint layer and test a stroke around the model ensuring the stroke is uniform across the mesh. Any issues can be mapped against: UVs mapping, flipped normals. check and fix the issue until the paint layer is smooth.

Back in Blender export the clothing mesh as OBJ (see scale above)

In DAZ, with the G8 character loaded in the scene import the clothing Obj

Select Transfer Utility

Transfer rigging across the clothing object

Select G8 character and export to Unity

Move directory content in the Unity Asset structure

Selecting the imported fbx set it to read/write enabled (for Physics)

Create a prefab for the clothing (see below)

1. remove the character mesh
2. add a mesh cloth and virtual deformer for Magica (if applicable)
3. add a magica rederer deformer in the clothing mesh object (if applicable)
4. Set the magica settings and save the prefab
5. Add the magica avatar parts component to the root of the prefab
6. The prefab is now ready to be dropped onto the G8 character at runtime.

Create a material and add the maps created with Mixer, assign it to the clothing mesh in the prefab. Done.
