Ignore some messages about 'missing bones'! If you get some errors with duplicate names please restart the export process.

It is important: Clear the recommended skeleton - and import your own skeletal mesh of every asset! It is needed for matching the main skeleton in the character blueprint. Import the all new meshes without assigning a skeleton. In Unreal Create new folders and name them Animations and Material. In a next step we fix that by getting rid off all unnecessary polygons - in DAZ 3D. Usually in game development we don't need no underwear or skin under the clothing - it is not visible at all and costs the GPU rendering time and provide such graphic errors. This is because the model is not optimized for gaming and has a lot of unnecessary vertices and polygons. As you can see, some skin texture pokes through the pants.

After compiling you will get the dressed model in the viewport. In the node Set Master Pose Component you have to pin the main mesh component ' Mesh'. for changing character templates in a game menu by pinning a mesh variable. Here you can change the assets for later use, i. Under New Mesh in Set Skeletal Mesh select from the drop down menu your asset for that slot. Do not try to avoid poking through from skin texture by scaling up the clothing.:) You have to assign as the 'target' always the component (or slot) for the assets by dragging from the component tree to the pins. Set Master Pose Component - this is the main character mesh componentĪdding a Relative Position or Scaling is not necessary but sometimes the blueprint bugs with locating the assets properly.Set Skeletal Mesh - this is the clothing asset slot.In the construction script route the following nodes for each component:

These component are slots for assigning different clothing to the main character mesh. In the view tab you have to add new skeletal mesh components - as many as you need for clothing pieces. In the main mesh component insert your retargeted DAZ character and set the Animation Blueprint you created by retargeting. If you like it to make this Character your player character duplicate or edit the 'Third Person BP' or something similiar.

Create a Character Blueprint (if your actor should walk around later…).
