Description

The DSF Toolbox contains seven tools to work with DSF files for DAZ Studio 4.0 and up:

• Dsf2Obj: Extracts the geometry from a DSF geometry file as Wavefront OBJ file.
• Obj2UV: Converts the UV-mapping from an OBJ file to an UV-set in DSF format.
• Obj2Morph: Creates a DSF morph file from a morphed OBJ geometry.
• Clone2Morph: Translates the hidden clone morphs into real working morphs.
• Channel: Editor for channel parameters of morph and controller files in DSF format.
• Asset Info: Editor for the asset info contained in DSF files.
• Compress: (De)compress DSF / DUF files.

All tools work directly on the DSF data files, so the result is usable indepently of a particular scene and is immediately ready for distribution. There's a batch mode for each tool to operate on several files at once.

Features

• Stand-alone application for Windows and Mac
• Full Unicode support
• Easy to use, manual included
• Dsf2Obj
  • Extract the geometry from a DSF geometry file as OBJ file
  • OBJ file may be used together with CR2 exporter of DAZ Studio 4
  • OBJ file may be used to create own morphs and UV-sets
  • Optionally, geometry may be morphed by a DSF morph file
• Obj2UV
  • Create DSF UV-set files from OBJ geometries
  • UV-sets are available the next time you load the figure
• Obj2Morph
  • Create DSF morph files from morphed OBJ geometries
  • Morphs are available the next time you load the figure
  • Channel templates with defaults for parameter settings
  • Optional with joint adjustment for correct bending even for extreme morphs
• Clone2Morph
  • Transform the hidden clone morphs (used by auto-fit) into regular morphs
  • Optional with joint adjustment for correct bending even for extreme morphs
• Channel
  • Change the channel parameters of morphs and controllers permanently
  • Presentation: name, icons, description, colors
  • Location: region, group
  • Behavior: type, value, limits, auto-follow etc.
• Asset Info
  • Examine and edit the asset info of DSF files
  • Author, Email, Website, Revision number, and Modified date
• Compress
  • Compress DSF and DUF files to save disk space
  • Decompress DSF and DUF files to edit them in a text editor
  • (De)compress selected files or all DSF / DUF files in a folder (with or without sub-folders)
• Batch mode to process several files at once
• Configurable scaling for OBJ / DSF geometry conversions
