This is more of a "how to" get a freebie, and I use a specific example.
There are a TON of freebies for MMD (MikuMikuDance) on DeviantArt and other sites. So, if you wanted to use one in DS (or Poser), you can download the .PMD files. Then using Blender (this is not hard in blender at all, so you don't need to be scared of it)
So to do this:
- Have Blender (I used version 2.67 for this)
- Install the plugin, meshio (LINK), and then you should see it in the user preferences as seen in the picture
- Open Blender, and delete the cube (right-click to select it, then delete, enter)
- File-Import the .PMD file (for example, the one for this hair -> LINK )
- NEW: Due to me retrying this with Blender 2.71 recently...you need to right-click the mesh (select it) in Blender, and then be sure to check the "Selection Only" option on the Export dialog pane on the left. If not, you get all of the rigging and other objects you probably don't want
- Export to an OBJ, and Close Blender
- Open Daz Studio
- File Import OBJ (I found Silo settings were the closest)
BAM! Hair freebie! (see picture)
Feel free to ask questions, if you get stuck. This is just about models, do a search in the forums (for mmd), and there are some other threads about animations, etc.
NOTE: this OBJ method, you don't get any of the rigging, which can be found in the model, so it is limited, but depending on the model, it still may be valuable! :)
