Mirage 0.4 September Progress Report + Video
Hi dear patrons,
This September I was working on DAZ Importer. I recorded a video of the working DAZ Importer where I demonstrate a process of importing Genesis 3 female character. Importing steps are the same for clothes and for hair. I still need some time to improve it: make it easier to use (ideally user should click only one button) and fix remaining problems mainly related to hair importing.
Thank you for your support and patience.

It works! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to using it, hopefully a slightly easier to use version :)
Hi David! Of course it works :) This is exactly what I am doing right now - trying to simplify it. It's not difficult to use even currently after you know what you need to do, and also I will create a series of video tutorials to demystify the Importer. Current UI may look complex but it gives creators much more freedom and customization options, for example you can change any Material settings, even change Shaders. First released version of the Importer may have rough edges but I will make it more accessible with each iteration. Stay tuned!
About complexity of VR UI. I might get it wrong but if the importer is the counterpart to DAZ Install Manager, that is, it imports and registers the content for use in in the application. Then I don't see any need for being able to do that administrative type of task in VR. I would rather do that part using monitor and keyboard anyway.
Importer will be desktop only. I was talking about Mirage 04
Looks promising :). What does the plans for VR version look like. You did mention that you would probably not develop PC and VR version in parallel so when do you plan to catch up on VR version. After G3 import is finished or will you wait until G8 importer is done as well. Or what does the plan for VR support look like?
> After G3 import is finished or will you wait until G8 importer is done as well I have not decided yet. It will depend on complexity of VR UI.
Holy cow, man. Superb work. You'll have my continued support. What programming language are you using to build the application?
Thanks, it's C# and C++
