Daz Studio:

1. You can install the Daz To Cinema 4D Bridge automatically through the Daz Install Manager or Daz Central. This will automatically add a new menu option under File -> Send To -> Daz To Cinema 4D.
2. Alternatively, you can manually install by downloading the latest build from Github Release Page and following the instructions there to install into Daz Studio.

Cinema 4D:

1. Cinema 4D no longer requires a Plugins subfolder in the location where Cinema 4D was installed. Since R20, users should set a plugins path inside the Cinema 4D Preferences window and install plugins to that folder. Please refer to this link for more information: https://support.maxon.net/hc/en-us/articles/1500006433061-Where-do-I-install-plugins-
2. The Daz Studio Plugin comes embedded with an installer for the Cinema 4D plugin. From the Daz To Cinema 4D Bridge Dialog, there is now section in the Advanced Settings section for Installing the Cinema 4D Plugin.
3. Click the “Install Plugin” button. You will see a window popup to choose a folder to install the Cinema 4D plugin.
4. Navigate to the plugins folder path which you set from the Cinema 4D Preferences window, and click “Select Folder”. You will then see a confirmation dialog stating if the plugin installation was successful.
5. If Cinema 4D is running, you will need to restart for the Daz To Cinema 4D Bridge plugin to load.
6. In Cinema 4D, you should now see “Daz 3D” in the Cinema 4D main menu.
7. (SEE PDF)

Morphs:

1. If you enabled the Export Morphs option, there will be a new “Morph Controller Group” node in the Object Manager panel. Select this node and you will see morph sliders appear in the “Attributes Manager” panel, under the “User Data” heading.

Animation:

1. To use the “Animation” asset type option, your Figure must use animations on the Daz Studio “Timeline” system.
2. If you are using “aniMate” or “aniBlocks” based animations, you need to right-click in the "aniMate” panel and select “Bake To Studio Keyframes”.
3. Once your animation is on the “Timeline” system, you can start the transfer using File -> Send To -> Daz To Cinema 4D.
4. In Cinema 4D, click the “GENESIS CHARACTERS” from the DazToC4D window. Your character with animations should begin to import. During the import procedure, DazToC4D will notify you that “Importing Posed Figure is not fully supported” and ask if you want to “fix bone orientation”. Click “No”.
5. If you click accidentally click “Yes”, the animation frames will not import correctly. To fix that, you can just restart the import by clicking the “GENESIS CHARACTERS” button from the DazToC4D window..
6. The transferred animation should now be usable through the Cinema 4D Animation interface.

Subdivision Support:

1. Daz Studio uses Catmull-Clark Subdivision Surface technology which is a mathematical way to describe an infinitely smooth surface in a very efficient manner. Similar to how an infinitely smooth circle can be described with just the radius, the base resolution mesh of a Daz Figure is actually the mathematical data in an equation to describe an infinitely smooth surface. For Software which supports Catmull-Clark Subdivision and subdivision surface-based morphs (also known as HD Morphs), there is no loss in quality or detail by exporting the base resolution mesh (subdivision level 0).
2. For Software which does not fully support Catmull-Clark Subdivision or HD Morphs, we can "Bake" additional subdivision detail levels into the mesh to more closely approximate the detail of the original surface. However, baking each additional subdivision level requires exponentially more CPU time, memory, and storage space.
3. When you enable Bake Subdivision options in the Daz To Cinema4D bridge, the asset is transferred to Cinema4D as a standard mesh with higher resolution vertex counts.
